If you’ve grown up in the era of SRK’s romance films, Raj and Rahul are like household names for you. But as much as we love the characters, having a guy actually behave like that can be a matter of concern in real life.
To make sure that doesn’t happen to his own daughter, Shah Rukh Khan has apparently advised Suhana to “kick a guy” if he behaves like either of his on-screen characters. He said,
What is the essence of romance? To make somebody feel it at a particular moment in time. Personally, I’m not like that. If I stood with my arms open and sang a song in front of my wife, probably she’d throw me out of the house. I told my daughter, that if a guy meets you and says, ‘Rahul, naam toh suna hoga’, he’s a stalker.
Clearly, SRK understands the difference between playing a character for the audience’s entertainment and facing consequences of the same in reality. He added,
If a boy looks at you across a room at a party and says, “aur paas, aur paas”, go kick him in the shins. But in the film, if I’m able to activate an element of innocence and make it attractive, the role gets reinvented by itself.
Since Suhana wants to become a superstar like her father once she is done with her studies in New York, this piece of advice will go a long way for her.
