SHAH RUKH KHAN -
Autobiography
My mother was born and brought
up in Hyderabad.
She was a strong and beautiful woman.
She resemble Waheeda
Rehman.
My father also was extremely handsome.
I don't think I'm
good-looking but they were a very good-looking couple.
The met incidentally
under strange circumstances.
Injured in a car accident, my mother needed
blood.
My father who happened to be at the hospital at that time gave her
blood.
In this process of helping my mother to revive, they fell in love.
 And though my father was
about
eleven years older
than my mother, her family
consented because he had
sort
of saved the family.
In bringing up my sister
Shehnaz and me, my parents
never made any difference,
though I think my sister was
closed to my
parents
because she is six years older
to me.
I was born at a time when my
parents weren't doing well financially.
But I don't remember facing any
hardship on that account. My father
was a chief engineer.
My mother was a
social worker, a first class magistrate.
She had studied in Oxford.
She was
among the first few Muslim women to have achieved so much.
She has been an
executive magistrate for the longest tenure recorded.
She used to deal with
juvenile delinquents. I was not a stubborn kid.
But if I wanted something
badly enough I would go out and get it.
I was exposed to the Ram Leela, I
acted in it as one of the monkey.
I wrote short stories.. shairis.. my
father made me recite them.
I remember once there was this aunt who wore
horrendously pink
lipstick and
I composed a corny poem in praise of her
lipstick. I think she was
secretly pleased.
My parents let me do my own
thing, they only wanted me to do well in
my studies...which I did.
There
were no restrictions. I could sleep at any time, go out anytime.
If I
bashed up some child's teeth, my father saw to it that I dealt with
the
child's father myself...
I realized that parents weren't authority but they
were friends.
I would imitate Mumtaz, I would mimic people. I'm doing all
this
even today.
And guess what? I'm being paid handsomely for it.
An outgoing kind of person,
mom took a lot of initiative in everything.
I remember when my father was
ill, he had cancer for eight months,
we lost everything we had.
One injection used to cost
about Rs 5000 and
we had to organise about 23 injections in ten days.
It
was an expensive affair and our business went down.
At that time my mother
would work day and night.
She would get the money some way. She really
looked after my father.
After his death in '81 she
revived his business and ran it proficiently.
I inherited workaholism from
her. She never said no to anything.
Like when I went to college, I said I
wanted a car. And the next day,
there was a car outside. She never forced
me to do anything.
She never even forced me to take over the big business
that we had
finally when she died.
When I told her I wanted to
act, join films she did not stop me.
I wanted to do my masters in film
making. I was very good.
I had got admission in NSD. I didn't want to do it
but she told me,
"just get admission".
So I gave my admission
test and got in. I remember I used to
be very bad in Hindi.
I would get
zero on ten. And she used to tell me, "If you get ten on ten,
I'll
take you for a film".
And from that day to date I have topped in Hindi
at all times
I remember the first film she took me to see was Dev Anand's
Joshilaa.
Her favourite actors were Bishwajeet and Joy Mukherji.
I think I inherited my sense
of humour from my father, who too had
a lot of respect for women.
I
remember once I had gone and blown somebody's letterbox.
And this south
indian lady came down and complained to my father,
"Your son troubles
my daughter".
He looked at her and said, "If she is as pretty as
you are and if
I was as young as my son,
I'd probably do the same
thing". She started laughing.
He said it so gently and nicely.
He was
very respectful to women because he had an older sister
and a mother whom
he was very close to.
He taught me how to be gentle with women.
When my father died, I didn't
cry. I thought it was heroic.
I was one of the pall-bearers, I thought I
had become a little big man.
But I felt cheated despite the fact that he
had prepared me for his death...
And my mother's death made me realize that
nothing is permanent.
I stopped hoping for anything. I cried a lot. Nothing
shocks me anymore.
