New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has dethroned superstar Salman Khan to be at the top of the Forbes list as he earned Rs 257 crore this year.
Last year, the Dilwale star was at no. 3 position but after making a whopping Rs. 257.5 crore, Khan tops the list of Forbes India Celebrity 100 for 2015.
He made a witty remark, “Mummy mummy main phir se ameer ho gaya” yesterday in Mumbai when he was asked how he felt about this achievement.
Yesterday, SRK launched the Shah Rukh Khan Film Festival at a multiplex. At the event he accepted that he is embarrassed with the Forbes rating and doesn't know how to react.
“I don't know I get really embarrassed about it but there are people behind me who take care of the business and take it forward. In films, the director makes the film but the hero takes all the credit. In business as well, there are other people who work at it and it's my face that gets plastered in Forbes instead,” he added.
While in the morning he pointed out that he is grateful to the people around him for the position he has achieved in life, in the evening he gave an insight to what it is like being a superstar.
The ‘Chennai Express' star had some gems of wisdom for the alumni of the Indian Institute of Management - Bangalore (IIMB).
He said, “No matter how hard we work, leadership implies being prepared for disaster. And it will come. If it doesn't hit you like a tsunami washing away your house and home, it'll show up some other way; as failure maybe, or by taking away something (or someone) you loved and believed in. So what are you going to do about it?”
“You can cry and wallow. I do that often and I am not ashamed to admit it. I do that in a special corner reserved for tears in my huge golden bathroom. Somewhere between the Jacuzzi and the steam room, I sit on the floor and shed huge tears of self-pity, persecution and how the world doesn't understand my genius and efforts. But then I take a hot and cold shower and walk out wearing my limited edition cologne, ready to embrace disaster. So a bit of wallowing and crying is okay. But the thing to understand is that if you learn how to welcome disaster you overcome it,” he concluded.
