Shahrukh Khan Feels Sorry For Actors Who Are Not Graduates; Doesn't Want His Kids To Be Like Them
In a recent interview, Shahrukh Khan focused on the importance of education for his children and said that he feels sorry for the actors who are not even graduates.
Shahrukh Khan is one of the few actors who knows the importance of education. Some of the rich and famous think that their children don't need to do anything as they have already built an empire for them but SRK is an exception and does not believe in this theory.
He wants his children to make a name for themselves and for that he wants them to focus on their education first. In a recent interview to a leading daily, Shahrukh revealed why his kids need to be graduates before pursuing their career in Bollywood and why he feels sorry for actors who are not graduates.
I Am Sorry For The Actors Who Are Not Graduates
"In my home and family, there's minimum qualification to be an actor. If you aren't a graduate, I believe you can't be an actor. I'm really sorry for all the actors who are not graduates. It's not because I look down upon people who are not. But I am a graduate and I believe education has helped me beyond my limit."
Encouragement Will Happen Only Post Graduation
"My daughter is in the 11th but she has to graduate. She loves acting - on stage, TV, films or street - and, she is quite a good actor, at least for her age. So, I would like to encourage her. But the encouragement will happen only post-graduation.''
My Son Has Never Shown Interest In Acting
"My son has never shown interest in acting. But, of late he has started showing interest in filmmaking and got into ULCA and USC (USA), which came to me as a tremendous surprise but a pleasant one. He has completed his first year, so there are three more years to go."
On Aryan Being Launched By Karan Johar
"I don't think they are being launched right now. But Karan means it both jokingly and seriously. Aryan does visit my film sets sometimes, and I am very proud.''
On Aryan Khan's Interests
''He came the other day just to learn about lighting; not to see his father act or learn about lightning in the first year. He sat with the cameraman without even asking me.''
''He was there for two hours, just learning the techniques. He told me, 'Papa, it was no nice.' So he didn't visit as a producer or as a he's hero son or someone who wanted to learn acting. I feel, 'Let him learn the craft and then see if he has the same love for acting as I do.''
It's Heart-Wrenching To Send Aryan & Suhana Away
''It's heart-wrenching to send them away. They also find it difficult and why should they leave a nice house and good schools here, but they know it's important for them. So I'm assuming that they will finish their education. They have done well so far.''
I Hope My Son & Daughter Can Take Indian Cinema To International Levels
''I think seeing a view of the world is nicer, especially for cinema. Why do European and south American talent reach the international stage before us? It's because the access to that world is closer. Indians still don't have it."
''Slowly, these doors are opening. I hope Indian film-makers including my son and daughter, can take Indian cinema to international levels.''
It's Difficult To Be SRK...
''I hear some actors saying that they wish they were Shahrukh Khan, and I say, ‘Please don't wish for it. It's a pain'. I can't explain the kind of patience, goodness, humility and the modesty you have to show besides the hard work you have to do, and stress you have to take.''
''But I will still give my left and right arm to be Shahrukh Khan again. But I won't wish it upon others, as I don't think they can handle it.''
And Lastly On His Buddy Salman Khan..
''Salman and I were planning to do something together on the business front. But then he sent me a message saying, ‘Nahin karte hain yaar. Phir se log kahenge ki hamara jhagda ho gaya.' (Let's not do this. People will say we started fighting again.)''
''Some relationships are personal. I should tell you a secret stars know everything. We had our issues, but they were not at all like what was written.''
Shahrukh Khan further added, ''The third party never understands what happens in a relationship. There was a time when Salman and were waiting to be friends again just to stop it [the rumours], because it was so stupid; we felt silly after a point. We are grown up, mature people and we're not crazy.''

''I find it odd when people say, 'friends turn foes'. When I moved to Mumbai, his family was wonderful to me. We were never foes. Salman and I are very different people. We still don't agree on a lot of things. But I will always respectfully agree to anything that he says,'' King Khan said.
