SRK recalls his Kadki days

Recently SRK played the role of a quizmaster to host the 4Ps business and marketing quiz DARE 09 and recalled his poverty/kadki days.

SRK talking to the students said, ''I'm the most successful failure. My mother didn't live long enough to see me become a superstar. Ab pata nahin Delhi mein yeh word use karte hain ya nahin, but there were times jab meri kudki ho gayi thi. Kudki is when you lose everything and you're on the road. I equated poverty to failure at one point in my life. I didn't want to be poor. So I did Deewana, a film that Armaan Kohli had refused. I did Baazigar that my friend Salman didn't want to do. I acted in Darr because Aamir turned it down and I worked in Dil Aashna Hai because Saif refused it. These films paid well and I was working to avoid unemployment. When Dilip saab (Dilip Kumar) and I were watching my Devdas, I asked him, 'Why did you do Devdas?' And he said, 'Pata nahin. Tab ek lakh rupaiya mila tha'. Then success happened… My speech ends. Normally, people clap now."

The students went ga-ga on SRK and his humor that kept them laughing all through the quiz.

SRK has never forgotten his roots... it's interesting how he took up all the rejected roles and made a mark for himself and became much bigger than all the names that refused them at that time... and he has no shame in admitting his past... that's what endears him so much to me and to millions out there... SRK is truly THE king khan... he's not only a good person, but extremely intelligent and articulate...

i know he's extremely sensitive and emotional about his mother, and that's what makes him such a great family man... it's so sad that his mother never got to see him become one of the biggest names in the industry and among a handful of bollywood personalities to be known worldwide... he's worked extremely hard to where he is now... god bless him...!
SRK and Dilip - two of my all time favourites... 😃

The last quote on SRK's speech about Dilip Kumar's reason for doing Devdas "pata nahi, tab ek lakh rupaiya mila tha"... that candor left me ... I don't know... dumbfounded!

Isn't it strange when one of most visible self-made man comes along and says that I worked to stay off the streets and not to gain THIS kind of success that I eventually did.

I think right from the beginning when he first came on the screen in Deewana everyone knew he was a Lambi Race Ka Godha !! He has left behind everyone after passing over every hurdle, he is the fastest !! 👍🏼

Ironic, yes, that's the word I was looking for.

And it is ironic how far SRK has treaded away from the characters he played in the beginning of his career (that got him the recognition in the first place) and has now restrained himself to play safe and play the characters that "work commercially." It's a real pity. Nevertheless, I still admire him for being a self made man in a nepotism raked film industry.
