When he is not working, he is in a meditative state, superstar Shah Rukh Khan said on Thursday at the inaugural day of the WAVES summit here.
Addressing a session on 'The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler' at the event, which is billed as a platform to position India as a global hub for media, he also batted for more theaters and less expensive tickets in India.
"I still believe the call of the day is a lot more theaters, small theaters in small towns, and cheaper theaters so that we can show more films to people in every corner of the country," Shah Rukh said.
He expressed the hope that with the WAVES summit, shooting processes should become easier "not only for Indians but also for people coming from outside."
"I don't indulge in overworking or overthinking. When I am not on the sets, I don't do anything. I am in a meditative state," the superstar said in a fireside chat with director friend Karan Johar and Deepika Padukone, his co-star on many movies. The actor, one of the biggest superstars in Hindi cinema, said when he was young, he was "brash" but also gutsy.
"I believe I was brash, overconfident, reckless, and a lot more stupid. I'm happy I was like this; otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen the path I did with such wonderful people. I was a little gutsy also. Thank you, young Shah Rukh Khan, for being so cool," he said.
