Shah Rukh Khan: I don't know. Normally, when a choice is given to you, you go for the choice that the nicest or the best. And if you give me the option not Shah Rukh Khan... I won't exchange my life with anybody. Why should I? I mean, I really, really, really have no reason to exchange my life with anybody. I do have moments when I think so and so is better looking, so and so is a better dancer, so and so... I... I wish I could dance like him, I wish I could look like him, I wish I could fight like him, I wish I could romance like him, I wish I could... there are so many things. But then, it's not one person that I would... that I find perfection in. I would like to be everyone, every actor that I know. I would like to be lot of people that I meet. And when you know you can't be all that, I think, then the second best or the third or fourth best choice left with me is to be Shah Rukh Khan. So I'd rather be that only.

Shah Rukh Khan: Everybody asks me that! I mean, I don't have... the hectivity of a schedule is a way of life now. It works like that. And within that, I've never been... Yes, last year I think there was a little bit of neglection on my part in terms of family because I was doing my own show. But otherwise I do have Sundays off now again. And I get to spend a lot of day time with my child and evening time with my child. And I go out with my wife. Now that she is expecting, I... I mean, there's not much really one can do. But I... I have enough time with my family. I don't think there's a complaint on that front from my family. I don't know how it is but... maybe everybody has a different way of saying, ok, how much time one should spend with the family. In my case I think the amount we spend together is good enough to keep us together.

Question from: chinu
hai, What is the difference between Shah Rukh Khan before and after the film Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani?

Shah Rukh Khan: I mean, at this point in time if you ask me I think the biggest difference in my life is that I have gone through a major surgery for my knee and all. So I... I... I see everything with a little depression. Mainly because I am a very active person, physically active person and for me to have a kind of ailment which sort of puts me down physically seems quite close to the end of a... end of the world. I had this long time back when I hurt my back and I had to give up my sporting career and become an actor. What has happened again... now this time obviously it is more controlled because I have, you know, very good doctors looking after me and stuff. Right now I can't see it with, you know, any kind of... I'm very happy that I've produced a film. If you ask me just workwise, I'm very, very thrilled that I've produced a film which has done okay, not great business. And... I've set up a production company, I've finished a film in 11 months. Seven and a half years of my career in Bombay, I've turned a producer. And I've turned producers with good people. The only change is that I just want keep on being able to make films that I think should be made. And meanwhile, I'll be acting in films which everyone else thinks I should be acting in. There's no change as such.
