Shah Rukh Khan has always been known for his incredible oratory skills and outspoken nature. The superstar's interviews are a treat to read, where he gives detailed insights to each question asked.
Today, SRK wrote an editorial piece for a leading daily, where he gave an answer to the constantly asked question, "When will Indian actors speak up on certain issues?"
SRK went on to talk about the time when he played back-to-back Muslim characters in his films. Shah Rukh played Muslim in his last three films Raees (Raees), Dear Zindagi (Jehangir Khan) and a cameo in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (Tahir Taliyar Khan).
Talking about it, he stated, "You may write a piece from the point of view that I am doing three back-to-back Muslim characters. With due respect to my professionalism as an actor, I did not even know what my name was in Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil."
He further added, "I just went for two hours, did some shots and had fun with my friends, Karan, Ranbir (Kapoor) and Aishwarya (Rai Bachchan). I wrapped up around 2 am and partied till 6 am before flying back to Lisbon."
King Khan also wrote, "Don't create a point of view. These are films which were postponed for two years. I would still like to believe that in this day and age, an artist is there to put across entertainment in the best way he or she thinks is possible. We don't hold the audience responsible or at gunpoint that they have to like every movie and point of view."
