Shah Rukh Khan believes the greatest of love
stories are made by directors who are
sensitive and understand women's
perspective about romance. The actor, who
is often called the king of romance' in
Bollywood, says his most romantic films
"Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayege, "Dil Toh
Paagal Hai or "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai were
made by men who lived romance.
Citing the examples of directors like Yash
Chopra, Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar, Shah
Rukh says, "They've seen it from the
perspective of what a woman wants and
they embody that in the characters I play. I
am not the forbidden lover, it's actually the
desire to have this.
While Shah Rukh does not consider himself
a romantic person, he says he collaborates
with only those directors who have utmost
respect for the genre. In an interview with
PTI, the actor says Imtiaz Ali had earlier
approached him with the idea of a man
"trying to commit suicide but he instantly
dismissed that and asked for a "happier
story, giving birth to " Jab Harry Met Sejal".
"I haven't seen Imtiaz's films, to be honest,
but when I met him, I found him extremely
gentle and sensitive. Amongst the people I
had worked with earlier, it was the same
quality that Yash ji, Adi, Karan (had). They are
personally very different but also very
sensitive.
Shah Rukh recalls how a popular director
once approached him to do a love story,
which the actor turned down.I really
believed the director wasn't sensitive
enough, he just wanted to do a love story.
You don't just do a love story; you make it,
feel it, live it. And I think Imtiaz is like that. I
may not be romantic, but I am extremely
sensitive. To me, it can't be a person with
lesser level of sensitivity directing me in a
love story. I find Imtiaz sensitive, dignified.
These are not filmmaking qualities, these are
personal qualities which translate into your
films or acting.
The actor says he meets people who say
that it would be difficult to be like his
characters in real life but that is not
unattainable.Everyday I meet at least five
people who tell me, You spoilt our life, we
can't be like you'. My answer to them would
be, It wouldn't be so spoilt if you just asked
your woman what she wants. You never
took the time to ask her'. "Jab Harry Met
Sejal, also starring Anushka Sharma, is
scheduled to release on August 4.
