'I
Knew
I
Didn't
Look
The
Hero
Type'
Speaking
at
the
event,
Shahrukh
said,
"I
was
practical
and
knew
that
I
didn't
look
the
hero
type,
nor
couldn't
I
dance
like
one.
In
fact,
a
director
once
told
me
that
he
could
use
me
anywhere
because
I
was
so
ugly
and
not
the
hero-type."
SRK
Had
Doubts
About
Becoming
A
Romantic
Hero
Earlier,
the
actor
had
major
doubts
of
doing
romantic
films
but
it
was
an
advice
from
late
director
and
producer
Yash
Chopra
that
inspired
him
to
become
a
romantic
hero.
But,
He
Paid
Heed
To
Yash
Chopra's
Advice
Yash
Chopra
told
him
that
if
he
wanted
to
be
a
legend,
he
should
be
doing
romantic
films.
Shahrukh
listened
to
his
advice
and
that's
how
he
ended
up
becoming
the
'King
Of
Romance'.
SRK
On
His
Larger
Than
Life
Persona
"I truly
believe
that
the
image
thing
is
for
other
people,
not
me.
That
perception
or
image
doesn't
mean
anything
to
me.
I
don't
even
know
how
that
got
formed.
I
have
no
idea
as
to
why
hundreds
of
people
stand
outside
my
house
[Mannat
in
Mumbai]
every
day?"
What
they
are
seeing
is
my
films,
which
is
enacted
by
an
actor.
He
is
five
feet
nine
inches,
does
his
job,
and
goes
back
home.
I
can't
take
any
responsibility
for
where
it
has
gone
beyond.
I
can't
believe
in
it
as
that'd
be
wrong
because
it
would
mean
that
I
have
started
believing
in
my
own
myth,
and
that
would
be
odd,"
said
the
superstar
in
his
recent
interview
with
Hindustan
Times.
