Good: Actor or Human?

A question has been lurking in my mind, is Shah Rukh a better actor or a better human? Again this post is one of the kind of posts where I try to answer my own question. This one is tough but then it's also simple and easy. Let's see how my brain answers it.

Shah Rukh as an actor

99.99% of Shah Rukh's fans got to know him through his movies which also includes me. Having done a variety of movies, he is well known to most of us as the romantic Raj of DDLJ or Rahul of Darr. To many international fans, he is known as the simple and powerful Rizvan of MNIK or again Rahul but of K3G. Basically movies are an excuse and ticket for his fans and future fans to discover him. In his movies, he can act as a sweet simpleton to a dangerous and most wanted King of the underworld. But what is he behind the cameras?

Shah Rukh as a human

Only a handful of people know how Shah Rukh as a human is. But his fans know him too, not sure how many but most of us know and understand him through the numerous interviews he's given throughout his career. But I feel there is a lot more we can know about. Yes, I am one of those who can never get enough of this man. "Yeh Dil Maange More" is my motto for him. Which in English means "This Heart Wants More." He is a really strong person. Not to forget the roles he plays off the camera...father, brother, husband, friend, competitor, businessman and guide to many of us. May Allah always give him success in fulfilling these roles.
