'I don't kiss in films, never will', says Shahrukh Khan

New Delhi, May 6 ( IANS) In 22 years of his showbiz career, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has perhaps hardly ever locked lips with his heroines and says he never will. He admits he is not just uncomfortable about kissing on screen, but doesn't even know how to do it. 'I don't kiss on screen because I don't know how to do it. I don't do it because I feel weird...and I feel those who do it in films, do it well already,' Shah Rukh told reporters here Friday. 'I feel discomfort in doing two things for films. When anyone comes to narrate a story to me, I tell them two things - main ghoda nahin chalaunga aur main choomunga nahin (I won't ride a horse and I won't kiss),' added the 45- year-old. Shah Rukh's well-known witty side came through when a young journalist asked him if reports that he has kissed Kareena Kapoor for his upcoming sci-fi superhero film 'Ra.One', are true. Looking dashing in a formal black suit, he seemed to be quite amused at being asked such a question at a press conference meant for the formal announcement of Tag Heuer's tie-up with Buddh International Circuit, the host of Formula One in India. 'Where did you read these reports,' he asked. 'They are all over the internet, probably reported from Mumbai,' she said nonchalantly. 'How old are you my dear?' asked Shah Rukh, and the lady responded: 'I am 25. But you shouldn't ask a girl her age.' Came SRK's quick rejoinder: 'Well, dear, you don't ask such questions to men! You've asked me this, I am a simple guy, married man with kids...but don't ask such a question to men on the street! But, because you are young, and possibly just stepped into journalism, please don't believe whatever you read on the internet. It may not always be true.' Shah Rukh says if a film requires him to do things which make him uncomfortable, he quits it. 'I don't kiss simply because I am not comfortable doing it. I am pretty uncomfortable even at laughing in my films...so whenever there is a scene where I have to laugh, or where there is a scene where I am uncomfortable or I feel I will not be able to do justice to it, and whenever there are animals involved and I feel they might be mistreated, I quit the film in its narration itself.'

King Khan 1 crore G.one suit will go Digital

The 3 D action hero's outfit for Ra.One will get more expensive as Shah Rukh Khan insists on 'computerising' it to add special effects The blue coloured costume made in Los Angeles especially for the flick Ra.One and costing a whopping rupees one crore is now being converted into CG (computer generated graphics). This means the bodysuit donned by Shah Rukh Khan's character G.One that the audience will finally see on screen will be created with the help of special effects. SRK is leaving no stone unturned to get a perfect look for his character G.One in the upcoming 3 D action flick A well-placed source informs, "The perfectionist SRK is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that the film is made well." He doesn't want to compromise on any front. After seeing the rushes of G. One's look, he felt it wasn't up to the mark and could be improved. So after brainstorming sessions with the animation and marketing team he decided to add special effects to the costume." "A lot of interesting effects like rays emitting out of the outfit have been added." It goes perfectly with SRK's character who is made of solid electricity and has come in the real world from a virtual world to fight against Ra.One the evil force." Director of the movie, Anubhav Sinha said, "It is natural to have myths and legends associated with a superhero film. This will be one of the early legends of G.One."
