Shahrukh
Khan
says
his
fame
and
stardom
will
be
of
no
use
if
he
finds
himself
getting
affected
by
the
success
of
his
contemporaries.
The
51-year-old
actor
shrugs
when
asked
how
difficult
it
is
to
remain
unfazed
by
others'
work
after
being
in
the
industry
for
over
25
years.
"What
is
the
point
of
having
become
such
a
huge
star,
if
you
are
still
going
to
follow
someone
else?
Or
be
bothered
by
someone
else,
or
think
about
someone
else
or
compare
yourself
to
someone
else," he
asks.
Shahrukh
says
-
"not
out
of
pompousness
or
ego"
that
he
has
everything
going
for
him,
which
is
why
he
does
not
feel
the
need
to
look
further
than
his
mirror.
"I
am
sure,
I
am
being
presumptuous,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
who
say
'wish
we
become
Shah
Rukh
Khan'.
I
am
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
so
why
should
I
want
to
be
someone
else?"
SRK
stressed
in
an
interview
with
PTI
that
when
he
joined
the
industry,
he
was
a
"nobody".
"With
no
money,
no
house,
no
future,
parents
dead,
I
did
what
I
felt
like
doing.
I
had
nothing
to
lose.
Now
I
have
everything.
One
way
to
look
at
it
is,
'Oh
I
have
so
much
to
lose," he
says.
But,
the
actor
adds,
there
is
another
way
of
looking
at
all
that
he
has
achieved.
"The
other
way
is,
'I've
gained
so
much,
even
if
I
try
to
lose
it,
it
won't
go
away.' If
we
were
so
brave
when
we
had
nothing,
why
should
we
not
be
equally
brave
in
our
beliefs
and
thoughts
in
what
we
want
to
do,
when
we
have
everything
going
for
us,"
he
asks.
The
superstar
believes
it
is
"silly" not
to
do
what
one
wants,
especially
for
someone
like
him
who
has
achieved
a
certain
status.
"I
am
not
saying
'I
am
a
path-breaking
guy
and
I
will
make
people
follow
me,
make
them
see
me
as
an
example.'
No,
I
do
what
I
feel
like
doing.
I
made
the
most
expensive
film
in
the
country
ever,
knowing
fully
it
won't
recover
the
money.
But
I
had
to
do
it,"
he
says.
He
will
be
next
seen
as
a
vertically-challenged
man
in
filmmaker
Aanand
L
Rai's
untitled
film,
also
featuring
Katrina
Kaif
and
Anushka
Sharma.
