And I don't mean food.
Poor Shah Rukh Khan has been the butt of many criticisms this week, from Amitabh Bachchan's little barb on his blog to Aamir Khan's dog's name (yeah, he named it Shah Rukh). But SRK is laughing on his way to
the bank as his show Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass se Tez Hain (are you Smarter than a 5th grader?) increases it's viewers and his new movie is getting ready to hit the floors.
Rab ne Bana Di Jodi (God made this relationship) is directed by Aditya Chopra and brings in newcomer Anushka Sharma, who is probably hoping Shah Rukh will boost her career a la Deepika Padukone style. The movie is set in Chandigarh but Aditya refuses to do something as stupid as actually go to Chandigarh to shoot, why do something like that when he can get Chandigarh brought to his doorstep by set creators? The movie should begin shooting soon and is supposed to be in cinemas by the end of the year.
While SRK is busy with Paanchvi Pass, a reporter caught up with him to ask about Amitabh's criticisms on his blog and asked if Shah Rukh would ever start his own blog, and he replied, with barely disguised insults in every sentence,
"No, for three reasons. One, when I type, I do so in caps and on the net, that’s like screaming. Two, because when I write, I write very long copy. And three, I am a very busy man, I don’t have time to write long blogs… also, my colleagues say that they blog because the media writes a lot of things and they want to put their version out there.
So, in short, you end up doing the journalist’s job. In my mind, it’s very clear I am an actor and not a reporter, so I will do my job, and I will let them do their's. If they write something that’s wrong, I’ll abuse that person and say they got their facts wrong. If they get it right, then I’ll say ‘great, they represented the facts well’."
So basically, he's saying that Amitabh has wayyy to much free time on his hands and he's lowered himself to tabloid journalism.
Shah Rukh is so evil...I love it!
i love evil too man, at last he's showing some backbone instead of just taking insult in his face

Lol, it's weird, huh Perx, that some actors accept insults quietly while others get right back in their faces about it.
