What stars think about SRK?

This is what his costars and friends has to say about him...

PS : I hope the picture above doesn't distract you much...ahhh, he's so damn HOT!

Kajol Devgan

For me Shah Rukh Khan is like a God. He is kind and will always take care about the problems of his friends. He is a person who is very easy to discuss and talk with.
He likes to help people. For me he is a very special human being

Amitabh Bachan

Shah Rukh Khan is the rage of the country he is a superstar and loved by millions of people....he's a very very hard working actor er doesn't take anything for granted

Preity Zinta

SRK is a one-take artiste. He's brilliant and he's really quick. Shahrukh is a powerhouse. Even though he has hurt his back, his energy level never dips on the sets, he's constantly hyper, and he wants you to do the shot fast. He's excellent with improvisation, a very fine actor to work with. He is not selfish. He will never try to take your line or your place, sure, he keeps you on your toes. His timing is really good and if you are not alert you drop the scene from your side. He's all there. And his energy spreads to the whole crew.

Yash Johar

Is it only 10 years? May he continue for another 40 years. He has been a very big success and it is an achievement that he's worked with the biggest producers and in all kinds of films. And he shall continue to do so and we shall continue to work with him

Farah Khan

He is my friend, brother, father... He means everything to me. I don't listen to anyone -- not to my parents, not to my brother [television anchor Sajid Khan], not to anybody. I don't give a damn about anyone's opinion. But I listen to Shah Rukh. I care about his opinion.I guess I do this because I feel he really cares for me -- he doesn't say it but his actions show it. I know he wants what is best for me. He has done things for me that even my family members wouldn't do.
He is much more than a friend to me . He is my guardian angel. Sometimes, I feel that he has been sent in place of Dad. Shah Rukh trusts me to the extent that he asked me to direct his Rs 25-crore Main Hoon Na.

Karan Johar

To me, Shah Rukh is a very spiritual person. If he honed that part of his personality he'd really be something. He is really God's good son. He knows the right things to say. He is very spiritual in a lot of ways. He has the right kind of spiritual path that he tells you about if he feels close enough to you.
I give him the respect I give my father. I can never have a casual conversation with him. He is more like a spiritual influence. He is like a senior in my life, but if I need a friend then he makes a brilliant friend.
In many ways, he is like therapy to me. He senses when I am down and out. He tells me this is bothering you even if I may appear completely normal. It makes you wonder how he sensed that. He has that kind of intuition. He is a wonderful human being

Juhi Chawla

I think I am really lucky to be a close friend of Shah Rukh Khan. In my opinion he is not only handsome but also very smart. And he has a sharp mind. He likes to read and this habit makes him a clever and respected person.
He has nothing conventional about himself. In fact, I feel he has the most unconventional face. But there is something really vulnerable about him when he is on screen. His dimpled smile is very endearing.
He is sharp and intelligent. He is full of beans, he has an unfair amount of energy. He packs it in a day what I would do in a week! And whatever he does, Shah Rukh gives his best fullest attention. He will not put off till tomorrow what he can do today. He is fond of playing more games and sports, but he doesn't know how to play a friendly game. He will always play to win, even it's a haramless game of Pictionary ---Shahrukh has to win it, everytime his energy sets him apart from the rest.

Sonali Bendre

We first worked together in English Babu Desi Mem when he was just a newcomer. And then again in Duplicate when he was a superstar. The one thing that has remained constant is his energy. If I had even 50 per cent of Shah Rukh's energy level, I'd have gone places. Contrary to popular belief. Shah Rukh isn't indifferent to his female co-stars. He was extremely helpful during Duplicate. He realised I was uncomfortable playing the vampish character, especially because I'm not like that in real life. He went out of his way to put me at ease. People say that Juhi and he share a better personal rapport. But not once during the making of the film did either of them make me feel left out.

Kareena Kapoor

He's the most amazing actor we have. He looks like the boy next door and yet he's so attractive. I just love him. If only he wasn't married. Shahrukh is the only man on earth who makes me go weak in the knees. I have done two of my major films with him - Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and Asoka. We share a wonderful working relationship. For me, he really is a living legend. There is no one better or bigger than Shah Rukh. I have really been a crazy fan of his and often during Asoka he had to tell me, "Concentrate on the shot and not on me." For me, working with him was a dream come true. I hope to do more work with him. This is an association that I want to continue.

Shahid Kapur

I think Shah Rukh is a completely self-made person. He started right from the beginning and has reached the top all through his own efforts. I wish him more success and the best of health.

K Shashilal Nair

I think his greatest achievement is the fact that he's not done more than 30 films in 10 years. Anyone else would have done 200. All his films have been such that, barring one or two, all of them can be remembered. Ninety-eight per cent of his films are remarkable.
Shah Rukh's greatest plus point is that he's very mehenti (hardworking). And if one remains hardworking even after 10 years, that says a lot. I'm doing One Two Ka Four with him at present. I think the amount of interest he puts into every project is amazing.

Priyanka Chopra
What's sexy about SRK?

Such a great note to start on! What is sexy about Shahrukh? Everything! He's my favouritest! In the song `Suraj hua maddham dressed in those loose kurtas, mmm he looks sexy absolutely sexy. His eyes are the sexiest they can look through you. I have always had a huge crush on Shahrukh. It's not the-I-love-you-want-to-marry- you sort of crush. It's more like idolisation. I just love everything about the man. He can't go wrong anywhere!

Lara Dutta
What's sexy about SRK?
Shahrukh is the most perfect performer we have today. He has a distinct style of his own. I give him total credit for coming from a non-film background and becoming the superstar he is today. He's perhaps the only star who can sell a movie just by his name. His sex appeal lies in his sense of humour and his confidence. He's not the sort who gives politically correct answers. He's witty, humorous he's on the ball and quick on the uptake boy, is he a smart man and that intelligence is very sexy!

Hrishita Bhatt

Working with him in Asoka was a really memorable experience. The more I saw him at work the more impressed I was with him. He was a great co-star, so down-to-earth, despite being such a big star. All my prayers and best wishes for his health. He is one of the most adored guys in filmdom and I wish him to be hale and hearty and back in action.

Subhash Ghai

Signing Shah Rukh today is a big responsibility [unfortunately SRK had to withdraw from Subash Ghai's Homeland due to date problems ] because he quotes evolved into a great actor who has simultaneously maintained the status of a superstar. That quote a rare combination. But then,
Shah Rukh is no ordinary actor. He quote's intelligent, dedicated and talented enough to shine even in a bad film. Also, he quote's a delight to work with. He quote s very childlike and a charmer who can coax a smile out of you even when you quote re angry and convince you to do things his way. He quote s matured and today he will not be influenced by anybody. He quote s completely capable of looking after himself and his career. We may not have worked together after Pardes but through Taal and Yaadein my relationship with him never fractured. I look on him as a younger brother. There are a few actors in the industry with whom I share more than professional ties. Jackie, Anil and Shah Rukh are three of them

Manisha Koirala

There is no any other perfect word to describe Shah Rukh except handsome and elegant. I won't be shocked if any girl goes petrified when they see him. Shah Rukh Khan has all the qualities which a woman is longing for. He is not only handsome but very polite too. I love to see his acting.

Sajid Khan

Long back Shah Rukh had come for Mazhar Khan's birthday party, which was being held at a disco in Bandra. Shah Rukh had just started out. Deewana had just released and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa was about to release. I had met him for the first time when he had come to our acting class, where Arbaaz Khan myself and others were learning acting. We became friends and he had worked with my sister Farah. At this party, Shah Rukh and I went out for a smoke and we were chatting. I remember him distinctly telling me, "I promise you when it's my birthday, I will give myself a birthday present. It will be the best house in Bandra, and sure enough he got the best house in Bandra!! Shah Rukh's DDLJ and my show Ikke pe ikka started together and both did 410 shows.

Mahesh Bhatt

What an innings he's played!! And he's still very much in form. You can't count people like Shah Rukh out. Irrespective of the flavour that will keep changing, there is an inexhaustible energy in him. He is a survivor and he's a man who has yet to achieve his potential.

Ramesh Sippi

I think Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman was his first film, though Deewana was his first release. He has definitely contributed to Hindi cinema -- there's no question about it. He changed the face of the Hindi film hero by playing a villain in two very important films -- Darr and Baazigar.
While some heroes have started life as villains, that wasn't the kind of villain he played. His first film was Deewana, a proper hero's role. Subsequently also, he played the leading man. Then, suddenly, he played the villain who was as acceptable as the hero. Which I don't think any other hero has done.
He started off on a very different note, but has gone on to work even as a normal hero with films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge -- two examples of a restrained performance. And he can pull both kinds of performances off very well.
True, there have obviously been certain films that haven't struck the right note. But through each of his roles, the one thing that comes across very strongly is the energy in his performances. And it's not always wrongly placed.
Another wonderful thing about him is that he allows other artistes to play their roles without trying to steal their show. He wins in the process. By doing that, the film gets made in the right spirit and everybody gets their due. He has the power to manipulate the film to veer in his direction, but he doesn't do that.
His plus point is that he can play any kind of role and I think he's shown his versatility -- from playing the villain to doing light roles with a lot of panache.
On the sets too, he's always charged. And it comes through. Actors all over the world have given some mediocre performances, but Shah Rukh has given every project his best. Which is a very fine quality. I enjoyed working with him in Zamaana Deewana.

Zayed Khan

Shah Rukh is fantastic! The experience and broad framework of acting that he brings to the sets is unbelievable. On the sets, I had a few ideas about acting, but was sceptical about doing them. I thought people would not take to it kindly, since I was new. But Shah Rukh agreed with my views and put my fears to rest. \par
You can learn volumes about acting by just observing him. Shah Rukh brings the scene to life. He taught me not to be mechanical, to look at things straight and do it differently, to add a new perspective. He's a Pandora's box, full of innovation

Ritesh Deshmukh

Shah Rukh is my favourite actor. He is the reason why I thought acting was exciting. Now he has turned 40, and I wish Shah a very happy birthday. He should just make more films and continue to entertain us, his fans.

I love all his films. The reason why I thought I should be in love was Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. The reason why I thought I should be passionate about love was Darr. That's when I thought that it's not necessary for you to not like someone because the other person does not like you.

I always thought my life should be more like the characters he plays.

He gave a fantastic performance in Swades. I enjoyed him in Main Hoon Na -- it was a total entertainer, like a Manmohan Desai film. It was brilliant!
