OMG! Shahrukh Khan Reveals Totally Unexpected Truths About The Credibility Of Award Shows!
Shahrukh Khan recently made many interesting revelations about awards and award shows. Read what he said here.
Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, who launched the upcoming international film award titled Indian Academy Awards, made some really interesting and surprising revelations about award shows and much more.
Shahrukh Khan is India's most loved actor and has been ruling the Hindi film industry for 25 years. SRK, who has won many awards for his fabulous performances, recently talked about the credibility of awards and award shows. Read what he said below.
Television Has Destroyed The Credibility Of Award Functions
"Television has destroyed the credibility of awards functions to an extent. Honestly, what happens now is an award function is made more GEC friendly. It is really sad according to me. The organizers initially start with a lot of earnestness and ethic, but somewhere we get entangled in the loop. I won't take away the fact that everyone tries to be credible, everyone tries to make the best step possible but I think that reasons of commerce and economics sometimes don't let it go to the extent.''
It Is Really Sad...
"Honestly, what happens now is an award function is made more GEC friendly. It is really sad according to me. The organizers initially start with a lot of earnestness and ethic, but somewhere we get entangled in the loop. I won't take away the fact that everyone tries to be credible, everyone tries to make the best step possible but I think that reasons of commerce and economics sometimes don't let it go to the extent. The assumption every time is whenever a new award function begins and at such a platform and with such people (referring to Indian Academy Awards) who are making an earnest effort so you are hopeful."
I Didn't Deserve The National Award
"The industry has been kind to give me so many awards. But if I didn't get it (the National Award), then I didn't deserve it."
When Asked Is Oscars The Benchmark For Indian Award Shows
"Oscars is an inspiration, not a benchmark. BAFTA and Golden Globes are also there. But let's create a benchmark with this award show (Indian Academy Awards)."
I Love Winning Awards
"I have said this openly, sometimes it might be taken wrongly but I love being a movie star, I love being an actor and I love winning awards for my work. You reach a stage in your life as an actor, now I have been working for some years now where some kind of recognition - all artists whether you are a poet, singer, painter, dancer, choreographer, you just want applause. Somewhere down the line any award that I have received, I have always thought of it as collective applause for the work I have done in a year or for a specific film. "
Shahrukh Has Won 267 Awards Till Now..
When Shahrukh Khan was asked if he knew the number of trophies he has taken home, he said, "Yes I do keep tabs on awards (I have won). I have been informed that I have received 267 awards till now."
Shahrukh Gets Very Sad When He Does Not Win An Award
"I want to keep winning them and I try very hard to get them. And when I don't them I get extremely sad. "
And Which Is SRK's Favourite Award?
When asked which award is Shahrukh Khan's favourite, he said, "The next award is the closest to my heart."
On the work front, Shahrukh Khan would be soon seen in his upcoming film Raees which is releasing in January next year. Apart from Raees, the actor has two more films in his kitty, Imtiaz Ali's Rehnuma with Anushka Sharma and Anand L. Rai's movie in which he might work with Katrina Kaif again.
