Bollywood leading man Shah Rukh Khan says he felt uncomfortable taking on the role of a husband who leaves his wife and child for another woman in his latest film. Khan usually plays the reliable son or the devoted father and said it was difficult to play a man who turned away from his family in ''Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,'' which hit theaters last week. He told Cine Blitz magazine that infidelity wasn't what ''a good man'' would do. ''I was embarrassed doing some scenes of this film, I felt shy doing them ... I am not a prude but I felt odd,'' said Khan, who has been married for 14 years and has two children. The movie about troubled marriages, directed by well-known filmmaker Karan Johar, also stars Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek, Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta. Khan had some words of wisdom for those tempted by extramarital relationships: ''I think you have to work very hard after marriage to make it work. You can't go on believing that love will continue to take care of it.''
''Unreal expectations'' ruined relationships, he told the magazine.
