No
matter
whether
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
films
work
or
fail
at
the
box
office,
he
will
always
remain
the
'King
of
romance'.
However,
business
wise,
Shah
Rukh's
luck
isn't
working
in
his
favour,
as
his
last
few
films
failed
to
create
fireworks
at
the
box
office.
Shah
Rukh,
who
has
given
ample
of
blockbusters,
was
taken
aback
when
his
much
ambitious
project
Zero
was
rejected
by
the
audiences
in
2018.
The
film
not
only
tanked
at
the
box
office,
but
also
left
the
superstar
in
a
predicament.
It's
been
two
years
since
Zero
released
and
Shah
Rukh
has
not
made
any
official
announcement
about
his
upcoming
project
yet.
Owing
to
his
sabbatical,
there
have
been
murmuring
on
social
media
that
if
SRK
doesn't
make
a
smashing
comeback,
he
might
lose
his
stardom
very
soon.
Well,
it
is
yet
to
be
seen
if
that
happens,
but
on
a
similar
note,
we
bring
to
you
an
old
interview
of
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
wherein
he
had
spoken
about
maintaining
the
top
position
and
if
pangs
of
insecurity
gives
him
sleepless
nights.
While
speaking
to
Komal
Nahta
in
1999,
Shah
Rukh
had
shared,
"I
would
have
been
if
I
lived
in
a
shell
or
in
an
ivory
tower.
But
I
don't
go
into
a
shell,
I
don't
live
in
an
ivory
tower.
I'm
surrounded
by
my
work.
In
that
respect,
I'm
quite
like
Dev
Saab
(Anand).
Besides,
I
know
that
whenever
my
slide
downwards
begins,
it
will
take
some
time,
I
won't
just
fall
down
from
the
top
position
in
one
day."
He
had
further
added,
"I
don't
spend
sleepless
nights,
I
don't
get
tense.
I
sincerely
believe
that
if
you
are
working,
it
will
work
for
you.
Otherwise,
you
could
be
shattered.
I
feel
scared
when
I
imagine
that
people
will
not
recognise
me,
there'll
be
no
smiles
on
the
faces
of
people
on
the
roads
when
they
see
me."
Back
in
1999,
Shah
Rukh
was
confident
enough
about
his
work
and
he
was
absolutely
right.
In
the
last
two
decades,
King
Khan
has
not
only
delivered
hits,
but
also
gave
the
audiences
brilliant
performances
that
no
one
can
match
up
to.
Meanwhile,
SRK
was
recently
spotted
at
the
YRF
studio
and
reports
suggest
that
he
is
currently
busy
with
the
shooting
of
his
upcoming
action
drama
titled
Pathan,
which
also
casts
John
Abraham
and
Deepika
Padukone
in
the
lead
roles.
However,
no
official
announcement
has
been
made
by
the
team
of
Pathan
yet.
