Why is SRK so arrogant? - Page 12

SRK was always arrogant and used to insult co stars and often mocked even seniors and has a big mouth. He has courted 90% controversies due to his needless digs and insults at others and their films. He is full of himself from day one. And not just after attaining success.

I think he himself invited the hate he gets. Thanks to his insulting others and his PR calling this shit as wit.

Over the years SRK only got more brash and began to take too many liberties with people. For eg when he said to Amar Singh at Filmfare awards that 'mujhe aapki aankhon mein darindagi nazar aati hai'.

That was no way to talk. His award show acts were shit and single handedly he and Saif reduced standard of Indian film awards to merely insulting others in name of humour.

I think he deserved the string of flops and downfall he got. And retaliation from others in form of interviews or blogs or digs at him through films.

SRK never even respected his seniors and had once called Govinda a nachaniya in 90s. Whatever Govinda was, it was not right to claim he was merely nachaniya. Govinda's comic timing is anyday far better than SRK who is weakest in comedy and his dance is also better than SRK. SRK had once called Akshay Kumar a junk food hero in 90s itself. It was rude to talk of a contemporary like that. He had also mocked Aamir's height in KWK. As if he himself is some 6 foot guy like Bachchan men.

He had tried to equate himself to Dilip Kumar and AB sr type seniors in early stages of career itself. I mean calling someone your idol is one thing. Trying to equate yourself to them is ego overload.

For an actor who is mainly known for romantic roles and has less versatility, poor voice, weak voice modulation, average looks, this man was always full of himself. Wonder where he would be if YRF and Dharma did not adopt and promote him like crazy.

I think he uses such bragadoccio to hide his insecurities and frustration and also make headlines. He knows how to stay relevant for good or bad reasons.

I have never seen anyone so full of himself and such self promoter as he is, from day one.

His fans may like it but it is his most obnoxious trait and makes him unlikable even if he plays humble characters onscreen like Swades, Pardes and CDI.

👍🏼👏👏👏🥳. For me the best romantic hero will always be the Mr Rajesh Khanna forever n ever much bigger n much better then this who uses his arms to romantize it to be called overconfidence.

This was posted months back, yet reading through the thread got to know another Salman supporter meaning likes Salman ( topic maker) ..cool !!

Rajesh Khanna was also arrogant AF, had too much attitude and looked down upon others. He got carried away with his success and fame. I also think he was a one trick pony, overhyped and I hated his dheela style of speaking and most films were misogynist and glorified relations out of wedlock and impregnating woman he was not married to, coercing and wooing her to cross all limits, which she regretted later. His films also bash working women and women who do not want to have kids or use family planning methods.

In real life he was a paedophile who married a minor Dimple when he himself was 35. SRK is atleast not as obnoxious as him.

I think as far his perception of his acting skills are concerned he has toned down the arrogance and accepted that reality check,like years back on kwk he had said he is the best actor but now on Kapil Sharma's show he accepted that he wasn't extraordinary like nawazuddin siddiqui and that "meri dukaan toh kisi tarah chal padi"

No and yes. The combination of aggression, arrogance, and self-confidence is what defines Shahrukh. His early confidence and arrogance were in balance. He therefore achieved success. You need that to play roles like Darr or Anjaam.

The mixture's ratio shifted when things started to go his way. He developed greater conceit and a sense of entitlement. He was involved in the wrong incidents and received negative press. He picked the incorrect movies.

Then you learn to be modest in life. A string of unsuccessful movies, as well as personal difficulties, made him aware of his conceit. He currently needs a hugely successful movie. I sincerely hope he does.

I met him and I did not find him arrogant

When one asks "why is SRK so arrogant" then one should also ask "Why is SRK so self-confident" because he is both...well, I think, through the years, he became more and more self-confident and lost a lot of his arrogance.

For me, SRK is a very interesting (and lovable) person because I think, he actively tries to balance the opposites that live in him... he even has mellowed the negative ones and intensified the positive traits of his character.

I read an article about arrogance and self-confidence some years ago when I discussed this subject with friends. I'll post it, so - when you read it - you can see that he is much more on the self-confident side:

His self confidence comes across as arrogance only to those who have no idea how it is to be someone who is self made.

Huh? What was arrogant about giving a journalist a tough time?
