Dunki in Dubai: Shah Rukh Khan gets ‘awkward’ watching his films; says people are bad mimics of him: “Maine kab aisa bola, yaar?”

Shah Rukh Khan said, “Ek mera baccha hai 26 saal ka. Baccha kya ab toh boodha ho gaya hai. Ek bacchi hai 23 saal ki aur ek chota wala 10 saal ka. I didn’t realise myself, jab Gauri aur main Delhi se aa gaye, humko 30-35 saal ho gaye. 24 saal ho gaye filmon main kaam karte huye. I didn’t realise that so many years have passed and the days I tell my children, ‘Come, watch my film.’ Pehle jab maine unko apni filme dikhayi, they were nice, later on they started saying, ‘Papa, how’s your hair? Look at how you look [I have a 26 year old kid. Not even kid, he is old now! My daughter is 23 years old and my youngest one is 10 years old. I didn't realize myself, when Gauri and I came from Delhi, we have been here for 30-35 years. It's been 24 years since I started working in films. I didn't realize that so many years had passed and the days I tell my children, 'Come, watch my film.' First when I showed them my films, they were nice, later on they started saying, 'Papa, how's your hair? Look at the way you look.'”

He added, “Toh mujhe awkward ho gaya aur woh aaj kal internet pe bhi log sab meri acting karte rehte hain. Maine kab aisa bola yaar? Someone would say main Shah Rukh Khan ki mimicry karta hoon and say (in a funny voice), ‘Oh, I love you kkk Kiran.’ Aise thode hota hai yaar. I love you, kkk Kiran. So, I get very awkward watching my own films, but having said that, there are some lovely ones [So I get awkward and even on the internet these days everyone keeps mimicking me. When did I say that? Someone would say I am doing mimicry of Shah Rukh Khan and say (in a funny voice), ‘Oh, I love you kkk Kiran.’ It’s not like that. ‘I love you, kkk Kiran’. So, I get very awkward watching my own films, but having said that, there are some lovely ones]”
