Superstar
Shahrukh
Khan
says
he
never
listens
to
a
script
and
rather
chooses
to
understand
the
filmmaker's
vision
while
choosing
a
film.
"I
normally,
and
even
till
date
-
which
might
finally,
ultimately,
75
years
from
now
lead
to
my
downfall
-
never
listen
to
a
script.
I
listen
to
the
heartbeats
of
people
I
work
with.
There
are
young
actors
who
sit
with
me
and
say
'Sir
you
left
that
script,
it
was
so
amazing!'
"I
never
understand
a
script.
I
can
say
this
openly,
cross
my
heart
and
say,
I've
never
understood
a
script.
I've
understood
the
script
maker
or
filmmaker
at
the
end
of
the
whole
pages
of
dialogues," he
said.
The
actor
was
speaking
at
a
special
celebration
to
mark
20
years
of
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai,
along
with
director
Karan
Johar
and
co-stars
Kajol
and
Rani
Mukerji,
Tuesday
night.
SRK
said
he
remembers
the
first
time
Karan
narrated
the
story
of
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
to
him
while
hewas
shooting
for
Chahat.
"The
story
he
narrated
to
me
in
that
hotel,
on
the
steps
of
'Chahat' shoot
was
crap
and
nonsense.
Utterly
not
like
the
film
you
finally
saw.
He
is
a
man
of
words
so
he
actually
thought
he
impressed
me
with
that
crap
story.
"Till
date
he
feels
I
don't
remember
that
story.
Then
later
when
he
narrated
the
script
along
with
Kajol,
and
both
of
them
kept
crying
in
my
room."
The
actor
said
he
is
glad
he
never
understood
the
script
otherwise
he
would've
ruined
it
with
his
inputs.
"I
didn't
realise
the
story
during
'Chahat' narration,
and
not
when
they
both
narrated
to
me
later.
I'm
glad
I
didn't
hear
the
story
and
just
went
with
it
otherwise
it
wouldn't
be
as
great
a
film
as
it
is
because
with
my
inputs
it
would
be
trash,"
he
quipped.
At
the
event,
Karan
said
he
had
to
struggle
a
lot
to
cast
for
Tina's
part
as
he
had
written
the
role
for
Twinkle
Khanna,
who
turned
it
down.
"Twinkle's
mother
called
me
and
said
she
won't
do
the
film
and
I
was
shattered.
I
had
approached
all
the
leading
actresses
back
then
but
all
had
refused," Karan
said.
The
filmmaker
then
met
Rani
on
Aditya
Chopra
and
Shahrukh's
suggestion
and
narrated
her
the
first
half
of
the
story.
"She
called
me
in
the
room
and
said
'How
are
you
going
to
convince
everybody
that
Shahrukh
likes
me
over
Kajol
because
they
are
the
eternal
love
pair.'
I
told
her
to
trust
me
and
go
with
it,"
Karan
said.
Rani
said
though
she
was
a
newcomer
on
set,
she
was
not
treated
like
one.
"I
was
a
newcomer
then
and
the
love
I
got
from
them
was
very
special.
Though
there
were
big
stars
in
the
film,
Yash
uncle
and
Karan
never
treated
me
unequally.
That
was
very
special.
The
kind
of
love
and
attention
I
got
from
Karan
was
so
touching,"
she
said.
