worked with women directors like Farah
Khan and Gauri Shinde, has said that the
cinematic aesthetics of women filmmakers
make his job easy as an actor. Farah was
the first female helmer to direct him in
three consecutive hits Main Hoon Naa, Om
Shanti Om and Happy New Year and Gauri
followed up with Dear Zindagi.
"Though I have worked with very few lady
directors but I completely enjoy working
with them because their sensitivity even for
the same scene stems from a very different
place. Being a man myself, it is difficult to
sense a scene like a woman does. So it
gives me a new dimension as an actor," SRK
said in a statement.
"I am happy because I got to do two
opposite ends of spectrum by working with
both of them. And I always believe that
women are more conscientious and
hardworking and so my work becomes
easier working with them," he added.
Ahead of the World Television premiere of
Dear Zindagi on Zee Cinema this Sunday, SRK
said both women directors are poles apart.
"Both of them (Gauri and Farah) being
women, have very different sensitivity to
each scene, each line, each comment
whether it is comic or emotional. So as an
actor, it gives me a dimension which is
unknown to me. I don't think like a woman,
I don't feel like a woman," he said.
According to the 51-year-old star though
both Farah and Gauri as women are gentle
and sensitive but as filmmakers, they are
completely different.
"Farah is an extremely in your face,
commercial director, wants a massy' film.
And she is very clear about it. If you are
falling into a zone which is realistic or
serious, she would say, No, I don't want.
This is boring me. Let's just make it over the
top, happy and fun film."

"Gauri is a far more realistic, intense and
internalised kind of a director. She is the
opposite spectrum of Farah as far as the
kind of films both of them want to make
are concerned."
