Failures can be heartbreaking and dealing with failures isn’t an easy task. Everyone has a different mechanism of dealing with failures. Some people cry, some analyze and some curse their fate. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan, known as the King of Bollywood cries in his bathroom when he fails.
Shah Rukh Khan’s career hasn’t been all rosy. He has faced his fair share of struggles. Sailing through highs and lows, he has completed over 30 years in Bollywood. SRK, the king of blockbuster movies hit a rough patch in the last decade when his several films tanked at the box office in continuity. With the failure of Fan, Jab Harry Met Sejal and Zero, SRK began accessing his career and even thought of making a career shift in his 50s.
Recently, SRK said during a media interaction that after Zero flopped, he thought of changing his profession. He even started learning how to cook and planned to open a restaurant.
Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently basking in the success of Pathaan, talked about how he deals with his failure at the box office. He said, “Everyone has a different way of dealing with failure. There is a special bathroom in my house. Everyone knows I am crying when I’m there. But it’s all about the Monday. If the film spoils on a Sunday, then you wake up thinking on Monday that you should work harder now. If the film works, you still wake up on Monday thinking that now I will have to prove myself again for my next. So, Monday is about getting back to the business for the industry.”
“I feel responsible that I have let people down. We all put in the best of efforts. There are thousands of people related to one film being made and their lives are connected to them. We feel guilty when we let the audience down. Hence, Phir se mehnat karo, labour class bano. If you cant go to set like a labour class person, you shouldn’t be in movies,” he then added.
Shah Rukh Khan made his full-fledged comeback with Pathaan after 4 years. The success of Pathaan was extremely important for Shah Rukh Khan. SRK, who’s career was sinking with multiple flops has now been revived with the success of Pathaan. He will now be next seen in Atlee’s film Jawan.
