Superstar
Shahrukh
Khan,
who
is
often
referred
as
the
romantic
hero
of
Bollywood,
believes
that
the
art
is
important
and
not
the
artist.
"An
actor
is
just
like
water...
he
should
just
adapt
the
colour
and
shape.
I
believe
the
art
is
important,
the
artist
is
not.
The
art
remains
and
not
the
artist
and
as
an
actor,
I
feel
if
I
think
like
that
I
can
work
with
some
amount
of
purity.
The
purity
will
be
retained
if
I
believe
that
my
art
is
important
than
myself," Shahrukh
Khan
said
at
an
event
to
launch
a
biography
on
him
by
director
Samar
Khan.
He
further
added,
"25
years
in
the
film
industry
was
a
big
dream
for
a
boy
who
came
from
Delhi
all
those
years
ago.
These
years
have
been
full
of
excitement,
hard
work
and
various
ups
and
downs
and
this
book
is
a
tribute
to
all
these
film
makers
who
believed
in
me
and
my
dreams.''
''I
am
extremely
thankful
to
all
my
fans
who
have
made
me
who
I
am
today
and
would
like
to
thank
Royal
stag
mega
music,
Samar
and
everybody
associated
with
this
book,"
he
said.
Recalling
his
initial
days,
he
said:
"I
was
an
odd-looking
guy,
I
was
not
from
a
film
background,
I
spoke
too
fast
but
I
am
thankful
all
the
filmmakers
and
those
friends
who
gave
me
an
opportunity.
So
for
me
if
a
newcomer
comes
I
have
been
trained
by
people
like
these
to
respect
the
newcomer
and
love
them."
