'King of Romance' Shah Rukh Khan’s love guru is AbRam
Mumbai: At 'Dilwale's sneak-peak, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol looked their best. At the launch, the star cast of 'Dilwale' interacted with the media.
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan finds the tag of the "King of Romance" weird. "I find the tag weird. Because of my films, where I talk good things about love, people think me to be like that. Personally if you know me, may be I won't turn out like a 'premi' type," he said. When asked who he considers as a love guru, the actor said, "I never thought who is the next guru, may be I have passed the age to think 'Who will be my next love guru."
The actor was speaking at "The Shah Rukh Khan film festival" organised by PVR which will showcase his iconic films like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayege', 'Chak De India', 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' from December 11-17. His upcoming romantic drama 'Dilwale' is scheduled to release on December 18.
Kajol, who will be seen with the actor in 'Dilwale', said, "Your love guru is AbRam." To which, Shah Rukh added, "Okay, my love guru is AbRam. I will follow his footsteps and do what he does." The 50-year-old "Chennai Express" actor feels the love of the little child is the most genuine.
"But yes, he (AbRam) is very genuinely loving. I think animals are also very good love gurus. Children and animals love you unconditionally... Little children are the most loving. Their love is very pure." Shah Rukh said that AbRam and daughter Suhana have seen rushes of 'Dilwale' and enjoyed it.
"AbRam and Suhana have seen the one-hour-30-minute rough cut of the film... Suhana was surprised at the intensity of the love story... She was pleasantly surprised with the storyline. "AbRam I don't know what he understands. He used to look at me and say 'Papa'. He seemed to enjoy. I was surprised he sat for one and-half-hour, clapped... Sometimes when everybody was quiet he used to make noises like 'Ooooh'. It was fun."
Coming together on screen with his colleague and friend Salman Khan turned out to be a fun moment for Shah Rukh Khan, as the superstar says the duo bonded over long conversations than just shooting. Shah Rukh, 50, and Salman, who appeared together in the 1995 hit 'Karan Arjun', shot a promo in the film's style for the 'Dabangg' actor's reality TV show 'Bigg Boss Nau'.
The 'Happy New Year' actor said the experience of shooting the promo was fun. "More than reprising the Karan Arjun feel, it's just nice always to be with Salman. We share a lot of personal moments together but we were shooting after a long time. We were together for three-four hours and talked more than shooting the promo, which we did in one, one and a half hours," Shah Rukh told reporters.
The 'Chennai Express' actor also hummed a few lines of a song from 'Karan Arjun' describing his friendship with Salman. "It was fun to be with him. As he (Salman) says, I don't want to make it melodramatic and emotional, 'Ye bandhan toh pyaar ka...' It was good to be with him," he added.
