He
is
one
of
the
most
bankable
actors
of
the
Indian
film
industry
and
heads
a
big
production
company,
but
for
Shahrukh
Khan
money
does
not
matter,"Money
means
nothing
to
me
and
I
have
no
compulsions
in
saying
that.
I
may
joke
about
it
or
talk
about
money.
But
it
means
nothing
to
me."
Khan
said.
"I
come
from
humble
beginnings
and
I
am
not
romanticising
about
my
Delhi
days.
I
am
from
a
lower
middle
class
house.
For
me
earning
a
lakh
[100,000]
was
I
have
become
'lakhpati'.
And
I
had
thought
when
I
went
to
Mumbai
that
I
will
retire
after
becoming
a
'lakhpati'.
So,
I
can
retire
like
tomorrow."
The
actor
says
that
now
whatever
he
earns
he
aspires
to
invest
it.
"Money
means
nothing
to
me
unless
it
is
able
to
create
some
kind
of
a
change
in
people's
life
through
the
work
I
put
my
money
in.
I
invest
money
in
the
business
of
cinema
so
that
may
be
other
children
like
me
get
the
opportunity
to
make
it
big," Khan
added.
Khan
said
he
is
a
big
believer
of
the
Make
In
India
campaign
and
as
a
businessman
he
wants
to
make
the
Indian
film
industry
as
advanced
as
Hollywood.
The
actor
added
that
one
should
"only
do
the
business
which
is
close
to
your
heart
and
not
close
to
your
head.
It
should
be
something
you
feel
for.
I
love
sports
and
I
got
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
it
through
cricket.
I
love
cinema
and
I
am
doing
it
as
an
actor-producer.
I
love
kids
and
I
would
love
to
work
with
theme
parks.
My
business
endeavours
are
completely
related
to
my
heart."
According
to
Khan,
the
significant
change
that
the
influx
of
digital
medium
will
bring
is
that
smaller
films
will
now
have
a
platform
for
release.
"I
don't
take
it
as
threat
to
cinema.
Community
viewing
will
never
go
out
of
fashion.
People
would
love
to
watch
things
together
on
a
big
screen,"
he
added.
Khan
believes
the
digital
space
will
also
give
India
some
big
stars.
"They
might
not
come
from
cinema,
but
the
digital
space
of
cinema.
When
I
see
my
kids
watching
these
vines,
they
have
there
own
stars.
There
will
be
digital
stars
and
much
bigger
than
what
I
am,
but
I
truly
believe
that
longevity
is
going
to
reduce,"
he
said.
The
actor,
whose
production
house
Red
Chillies
Entertainment
is
working
with
streaming
giant
Netflix
on
an
original
series
based
on
the
book
Bard
of
Blood,
said
he
is
more
than
willing
to
join
the
medium
as
an
actor.
"A
platform
is
not
important
for
a
true
blue
actor,
which
I
think
I
am.
We
just
need
a
stage.
Someone
like
me
has
risen
from
there.
I
have
done
drama,
theatre,
television
and
cinema.
So,
if
there
is
a
new
platform
I
would
surely
like
to
work
in
it.
Platforms
like
Netflix
are
also
going
to
make
our
actors
popular
internationally
as
they
have
a
big
viewership,"
he
said.PTI
