What does one of the richest actors in the world do when he’s not on set? He helps out with household chores. Yes, you read that right! Having been in films for more than three decades now, one would imagine Shah Rukh Khan to always be on set, shooting for a film or commercials. But the actor does get off the set quite often. So what does SRK do when is not on set? The actor spilled the beans during a recent event.
Shah Rukh attended the first edition of the World Audio Visual Entertainment Summit (WAVES) in Mumbai on May 1, where he was joined by Deepika Padukone and Karan Johar for a discussion session. During the discussion, Karan asked SRK, “What do you do when you are at your mansion?” to which Khan replied, “My close friends know that I generally don’t do much. My father taught me, ‘Jo kuch nahi karte hain woh kamaal karte hain’ (Those who do nothing achieve wonders).”
But then he spoke about his routine at home at length. “I do some household chores, help clean the house, and assist my son AbRam with his books and updating his iPad. I avoid overdoing, overthinking, and overworking. I am usually in a meditative state of mind. When I am not on set, I honestly don’t do anything,” he said.
He also added, “Obviously, I make my friends happy, play with my kids. That’s a given. But beyond that I don’t do anything. And like people say, ‘me time’, I take that.”
On this, Karan Johar quipped, saying, “I don’t know about you cleaning your house when not on set, but the person sitting next to you (pointing towards Deepika), she is always cleaning her house.” Shah Rukh added, “Yeah and I sometimes call her ki mere bhi ghar saaf karde,” leaving everyone in splits.
