Shah Rukh Khan: I told Suhana that if a guy meets you and says, 'Rahul, naam toh suna hoga', he’s a stalker

Shah Rukh Khan’s charming looks and dimpled cheeks have made ladies swoon over him for decades. He started his film journey by playing negative roles; however, after Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, his image completely changed and he got the title of 'King of Romance' from the audience. With films like DDLJ, Veer Zaara, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Toh Paagal Hai, and many others, SRK proved that no one can romance on screen the way he does.

He has given people their Rahul and Raj who are the epitome of romantic characters in Hindi films. However, in a recent interview with The Indian Express, Shah Rukh said he has advised his daughter Suhana to stay away from boys who behave like he does in his romantic movies.“What is the essence of romance? To make somebody feel it at a particular moment in time. Personally, I’m not like that. If I stood with my arms open and sang a song in front of my wife, probably she’d throw me out of the house. I told my daughter, that if a guy meets you and says, ‘Rahul, naam toh suna hoga’, he’s a stalker. If a boy looks at you across a room at a party and says, ‘Aur paas, aur paas’, go kick him in the shins. But in the film, if I’m able to activate an element of innocence and make it attractive, the role gets reinvented by itself''.

Shah Rukh recently watched Suhana perform in a play based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. He even congratulated the entire team for the exceptional work. “With my Juliet in London. What a wonderful experience and exceptional performances by the whole cast. Congratulations to the whole team,” he wrote.Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh was last seen in Aanand L Rai’s Zero. Made on a budget of Rs 200 crore, it could not even manage to rake in Rs 100 crore in its first week. The movie also starred Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif in lead roles.
