Superstar King Khan believes there is no use of becoming ShahRukh Khan if he can get affected by his competitors. His stardom speaks on his behalf and he doesn’t believe in following someone. There are number of people who wish to become ShahRukh Khan so there is no need of becoming someone else.

When asked about how difficult it is to remain unfazed by others' work after being in the industry for over 25 years, King Khan replied, "What is the point of having become such a huge star, if you are still going to follow someone else? Or be bothered by someone else, or think about someone else or compare yourself to someone else."

He further added. "Not out of pompousness or ego. I am sure, I am being presumptuous, but there are a lot of people out there who say 'wish we become Shah Rukh Khan'. I am Shah Rukh Khan, so why should I want to be someone else?"

ShahRukh also talked about the scenario when he joined the industry, "With no money, no house, no future, parents dead, I did what I felt like doing. I had nothing to lose. Now I have everything. One way to look at it is, 'Oh I have so much to lose," he said.

But, the actor added, there is another way of looking at all that he has achieved. SRK said, "The other way is, 'I've gained so much, even if I try to lose it, it won't go away.' If we were so brave when we had nothing, why should we not be equally brave in our beliefs and thoughts in what we want to do, when we have everything going for us."
