Get your lowdown on what's going on in Bollywood, right here!
Shah Rukh Khan, who caught up with the media at a launch event in Mumbai recently, reflected about his long career and how cinematic failures affect him.
He said he is happy that he has survived in the industry and is still a star despite having several flops behind him.
"It has been an amazing journey till now. It is a fantastic time to be here," he said.
The Chennai Express star said one should not get disturbed by a film's failure.
"I have done 70-80 films, out of which 50 per cent were flops, but I am still a star... those films are close to me. "My favourite film is Paheli, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. You need to be proud of films that go a little wrong."
Shah Rukh feels fortunate to be a part of Indian cinema at a time when it is going through several changes.
"There are so many wonderful filmmakers and actors who are edgy and want to take risks, chances and take Indian cinema forward, the extent to which Indian cinema has shifted from just being a trend and fad internationally to becoming part and parcel (there)," Shah Rukh said.
"Bollywood was just a cool word earlier and it was all about singing and dancing... now when I travel abroad and talk about Bollywood, there is a sensibility and understanding of different modes of storytelling which is coming out of India."
Jodha Akbar
