You’ve also spoken about Shahrukh Khan’s failures especially the aftermath of Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Another area which surprised me and how open he was about saying that maybe it was not a good film. That’s very hard. I come from a film family; I have a first hand experience on what happens when a film flops. How painful it is when people criticize it while you think it is brilliant after all you’ve spent 2-3 years and one Friday people say it is rubbish. He was very open about how hurtful it was. As Juhi says that it was not merely a film, it was an izzat ka sawaal. Nobody even said that it was a good film that bombed. I was moved when he told me that all three (SRK, Juhi and Aziz Mirza) sat in the conference hall and wept. He was very open about talking about his failures, about Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani or Asoka which earned critical acclaim but both didn’t work. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>There are passages in the book that talk about Shahrukh Khan’s love life, his sexual ‘preferences’. The passages where he talks about how he courted Gauri, how he came to Bombay in search of Gauri…all this makes for interesting reading. <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>It’s the great love story that has overcome so many hurdles. It’s a Hindu Muslim match. The girl comes from an upper middle class family while the boy’s parents were dead who had no obvious income revenue, who wanted to be an actor in times when nobody wanted to be an actor. People wanted to be doctors and engineers. It’s a Hindi movie style love story. I also talked to him about talks if he is bisexual or gay. He just laughed and said that I am just more comfortable with women and that’s why even the male friends that I have are not the really macho men that’s why these rumours. He has this great line when people ask him if he and Karan Johar are lovers, he just says that how did I have two children…Heavy petting. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><a href=https://www.indiafm.com/broadband/video/Interviews/z1tH5c69/3/SRK-In-Conversation-With-Anupama-Chopra-Part-1.html target=_blank>Check Video - Anupama Chopra On SRK And His Bollywood Love Affair: Part 1</a><BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Shah Rukh and Gauri at a party in 1985,<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Courtesy: Vivek Khushalani<br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
