What does time mean to Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan? "I have a philosophy about this," Shah Rukh says in his reply, recollecting a childhood tale, "My grandfather used to say that time is like a girl running, with her ponytail hanging in front. You can only grab that ponytail if you face her. Woh nikal jayegi toh main chooti nahin pakar sakta. So you have to be facing time, be prepared for what it brings all the time." The philosophy apart, the fact remain that even a superstar only has 24 hours to his day, with many claimants to it. Even as he keeps all commitments, doesn't he miss out on things he would like to do but can't? "I always do more than I think I can. Of course, I wish I had more time. I would like to shoot 20 hours a day. I would like to spend 20 hours a day with my kids, and I would like to have 20 hours just to myself…. I wish a day had 80 hours." What a brilliant wish, right! |
