Which begs the question -- how does he keep young?
"There is no fixed regimen for fitness," he replies. "When I was doing the Dard-e-Disco song (for Om Shanti Om), I used to work out. Today, I don't do that. I feel I have good thoughts for everyone and a lot of positive attitude that keeps me fit. Of course, the only thing I do is dye my hair. I work a lot as usual. I have been working non-stop for the last 18 years. My wife Gauri tells me I see you getting up every day and working the same way as you did earlier. I feel work is my religion. I feel that if you want to progress then work should be your new religion. It is the only universal religion. It is your birthright to keep the religion to which you were born but one must also consider work as their religion."
Finally, does he feel that he should retire? Shah Rukh says, "In entertainment business you never retire. You only retire when you don't get work. It happens to everybody."
What about Amitabh Bachchan, who is yet to retire at 66? Shah Rukh said, "He is a world class actor. If anyone wants to learn anything about entertainment, he should see the life of Amitabh Bachchan. He is a unique person."
