The entire industry should be thankful to Aditya Chopra & Yash Chopra for giving us Shah Rukh Khan. The actor, who loves action and wanted to be an action star once was asked in an interview about him not being a fan of the romantic genre. And his answer would make you believe why, he is the OG charmer!
When a journalist during the promotions of Jab Harry Met Sejal asked SRK, “You are not fond of this genre and you really don’t like love stories.” the Pathaan actor quipped, “Main ek controversial baat bolun. I love making love, I don’t like watching it. Accha hai naa ye? Ki mujhe..Making love is happier than watching it to Main dekhta nahi hun, main karta hun.”

He further confessed about making love and said, “I like it. I love doing love stories. Mujhse us din, hum jab film shoot kar rahe the Anupama Chopra ne mujhse poocha tha ki aap again lover ban rahe ho. I’m no longer a lover. I am love. I genuinely feel that. In a good way. I am not being pompous. I feel it, I understand, I like to analyse it, I like to sense it and somehow that comes through I guess in ther movies.”

Anushka Sharma, who was there to promote their film Jab Harry Met Sejal with the Jawan actor said, “Whatever he is saying ki bagal mein kaun si ladki hai, saamne kaun si ladki hai, wo dekh ke main romance karta hun but in my opinion Shah Rukh can romance this mic also and look at the mic with the same kind of love he would look at the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan has changed gears after he took a break from films post Anand L Rai’s Zero debacle. Interestingly, his last few romantic films were all unimpressive. While Jab Harry Met Sejal, despite getting made from the Prince of Chaotic Romance, Imtiaz Ali, did not find any lovers, Zero pushed SRK to take a break from the Industry.
