He
is
known
as
Bollywood's
'King
of
Romance',
but
superstar
Shahrukh
Khan
says
he
is
too
old
for
a
romantic
film
now.
The
51-year-old
actor
also
feels
the
whole
language
of
romance
in
Bollywood
has
changed,
and
that
he
is
yet
to
get
a
hang
of
it.
"Romance
has
to
have
a
little
formality.
Whether
it's
'tehzeeb',
going
down
on
your
knees,
whether
it
is
saying
couplets
in
praise
of
a
girl...
I
am
from
that
school,
I
still
believe
in
it,"
Shahrukh
told
select
media
here
during
his
train
journey
from
Mumbai
to
Delhi.
He
undertook
the
journey
to
promote
his
forthcoming
film
'Raees'.
'Romance
Has
To
Be
Formal'
Shahrukh,
who
has
been
part
of
films
like
‘Dilwale
Dulhania
Le
Jayenge',
‘Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai',
‘Kabhi
Khushi
Kabhie
Gham'
added,
"I
think
romance
has
to
be
formal.
'Aur
phir
kya
kar
rahi
hai
(What
are
you
doing)
?'
It
can't
work
like
that,
even
if
there
is
equality," he
said.
Pyar
Dosti
Hai?
SRK
Answers..
Asked
about
his
famous
dialogue
-
"Pyaar
dosti
hai
(love
is
friendship)" from
"Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai",
SRK
said:
"It
must
be
I
am
sure...
For
those
(for
whom)
it
works.
I
don't
believe
in
everything
that
I
do.
My
daughter
calls
me
bro.
I
want
to
ask
her,
and
everyone,
do
they
say
it
to
other
boys
also?
I
am
not
saying
it's
wrong...
It's
really
cool."
'Romance
Requires
Formality'
Shahrukh
added,
"Romance
requires
a
little
bit
of
formality,
space,
enjoyment...All
the
connotations
of
romance
need
time
and
formality."
The
actor
says
that
"somebody
will
find
the
language".
'I'm
Too
Old
For
A
Romantic
Film'
"I
think
I
am
too
old
for
a
romantic
film
now,
of
that
genre.
May
be
the
youngsters
will
have
to
find
language
which
has
formality,
but
is
still
of
today,"
said
the
actor,
who
showcased
a
romantic
streak
in
"Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan".
He
also
said
that
his
project
with
filmmaker
Imtiaz
Ali
with
actress
Anushka
Sharma
might
decode
the
new
language
of
romance
with
a
touch
of
formality.
SRK
said,
"May
be
in
Imtiaz's
film,
it
might
be
there
because
I
am
playing
kind
of
my
age,
40s.
The
lady
of
course,
Anushka
is
younger
than
me."
The
actor
believes
it
is
Imtiaz
whose
modern
thinking
and
different
take
on
romance,
will
lend
the
film
a
new
angle.
"I
think
it
could
be
a
mix,
I
am
not
too
sure.
But
youngsters
should
do
films
with
the
ease,
formality
and
the
language
still
being
new."
