Shahrukh Khan is the king of Bollywood. The superstar has given many blockbuster films in his career so far and with his strong acting, he is ruling the hearts of all the fans in the country and around the world. At the same time, during the Locarno Film Festival, the actor made a shocking revelation that while shooting a film, while getting into the character, he became an alcoholic in real life too.
After this film, Shah Rukh Khan got addicted to alcohol
This film was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2002 blockbuster period drama Devdas. In this film, Shah Rukh Khan played the role of an alcoholic. During an interview at the Locarno Film Festival, Shah Rukh said that he resorted to method acting for the role, which worked both in his favor and against him.
Shahrukh further said that he resorted to alcohol to play the lead role. When asked if it was good, he replied that it was a professional success as the film won him the Best Actor award the following year. However, he also said that it also affected his health. He said, "It could have helped, but I started drinking after the film and that was a negative aspect of it."
Shah Rukh further said, "I didn't want you to feel love for him, but I didn't want you to hate him. Nor did I want you to like him because he's a drunkard who runs away from every girl he falls in love with. I just wanted him to look indescribable."
Why did Shah Rukh Khan do Devdas?
Shah Rukh Khan, while explaining the reason for doing Devdas, said, "For some reason, I always felt that if I make very big films, my mother and father can see them from heaven. It's a childish thought, but I still think my mother is a star. And he would have liked Devdas.''
