The 2023 has been extremely fruitful for Shah Rukh Khan. With three film releases, the actor has once again proved that he is the King for a reason. The year started with Pathaan, then Jawan and the final release was Dunki. Shah Rukh Khan has been basking in the success of all these films. Shah Rukh Khan almost had a 4 year long break before these film releases.
Recently in an interview, the actor was asked about taking a 4-year-long break, to which the actor shared, “I think actually I never took the 4 year long break. Honestly for 1, 1 and a half year, I thought – Mai Thoda Sa Apne Aap Se Door Ho Gaya. Actor ko apne Kareeb rahna bahut zaroori jai. Films are so big and huge, sometimes you get carried away not in a bad way. I just wanted to be with myself. I though I’d sit home for 6-8 months, because at that time didn’t sign any films too. And again, I don’t file films in a jiffy. I am lazy internally.”
He added, “I wanted to sit and rest. I think I sat for a year and then pandemic happened, to that break became for 2.5 years to 4 years. But there was no conscious effort or thought process. But yeah, in that time I watched a lot of films – all types and kinds of films. I rarely get the time to do that. Then I thought, there are films which i don’t like but the masses like toh maybe I should pick films of that kind. I am very happy that this year, I’ve been able to entertain so much. To end my entertaining year with Dunki is the biggest high for me. Itna enterain kare ki I again take a break for 2-4 years (Laughs).”
