Mumbai, April 11 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who shares a huge fan following -- a glimpse of which can be seen in the trailer of his highly anticipated film Fan, says that in real life, he doesn't like himself much.
In real life, Im not fond of me. I dont like myself much. If I was fond of myself, then I would not play the characters I play, I would play myself, Shah Rukh said on TV show Yaar Mera Superstar.
I dont see myself as people see me. In fact, I dont even see my films. I watch them only at technical levels, like I saw 'Fan'. I havent seen a movie of mine on television either. There are so many of my movies that I havent seen. I am not a fan of myself, he added.
The 50-year-old, who will be seen in a dual avatar - as superstar Aryan and his biggest fan Gaurav - in the Maneesh Sharma directorial, says he doesnt even like the word fan.
Fan is a derivative of fanatic. It can be a bit negative also, at times. For people who like me, I have never, in my career of 25 years, called them fans. They are admirers. We talk about fan because Im promoting a movie of the same name. I personally find the word fan very presumptuous, the Dilwale star shared.
I had never thought that so many people, from so many places, will actually love me so much, he added.
Fan is slated to release on Friday.
The episode of Yaar Mera Superstar featuring Shah Rukh will be aired on Tuesday.
