Shah Rukh Khan says he has little talent, wins internet with his humble remark: 'I work very hard on the gift of God'
Actor Shah Rukh Khan is basking in the glory of his recent National Award win for his performance in Jawan. Known for his quick wit and charm, the actor recently held an Ask Me Anything session on X (formerly Twitter), where he engaged with fans and responded to their questions with trademark humour and candour. One fan even asked whether his celebrated expressions and voice modulation skills were a natural gift or the result of practice. Shah Rukh Khan made his Bollywood debut in 1992. Shah Rukh Khan says he still works very hard on his talent During the AMA session on Saturday, a fan asked, 'Shah, do you still work on your expressions and voice modulation, or is it God-gifted?' To this, Shah Rukh replied, 'Talent without hard work is way less than hard work with little talent. I am in the latter category, so I work very hard on the gift of God.' Fans were delighted by his answer. One commented, 'Wake up babe, SRK just dropped a new quote today.' Another wrote, 'Agreed @iamsrk — without hard work, talent is nothing.' A fan remarked, 'His passion for working hard never fades away.' Another quipped, 'SRK, every fan thinks they have a question you can't answer… but do you secretly have an 'SRK magic folder' for these?' One more admirer added, 'There's zero doubt about you giving your 1000%, but your talent is limitless, so stop being modest, my humble king.' Shah Rukh made his grand Bollywood debut in 1992 with Deewana alongside Divya Bharti, which emerged as a box office hit. Now, after 33 years in the industry, the actor has finally received his first National Award for Best Actor for his role in the 2024 blockbuster Jawan. He shared the honour with Vikrant Massey, who won for 12th Fail. While many fans celebrated his win, others felt he should have received the award earlier for films like Swades and My Name Is Khan. Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming project The actor is currently busy filming his upcoming movie King, directed by Siddharth Anand. The film will also star his daughter Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Saurabh Shukla and Jaideep Ahlawat. Although the cast is yet to be officially confirmed, reports suggest that Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Raghav Juyal and Jackie Shroff will also feature in the film.

Kangana Ranaut breaks silence on claims of dating married men: 'When they hit on you...'
The actress said, 'When you are young and ambitious, and a married man with kids hits on you, it's you who are falling for someone in a relationship.' Kangana Ranaut began her Bollywood career in the year 2006 with Anurag Basu's Gangster. She became one of the finest actors of the industry but she forayed into politics and last year, said she would quit acting if she won the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. Ranaut was quoted saying, 'The film world is a lie, everything there is fake. They create a very different environment. It is a glossy world like a fake bubble which is to attract the audience.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And now, in an interview with Hauterrfly, the actress broke her silence on allegations that she has dated married men. Ranaut was linked with Hrithik Roshan and Aditya Pancholi, but both the actors denied the claims. The actress said, 'When you are young and ambitious, and a married man with kids hits on you, it's you who are falling for someone in a relationship.' She added, 'It's not the man's fault. People always find a way to blame the women in the situation. Look at the rape victims who get blamed for wearing certain types of clothes or being out late at night. All these are markers of the wrong mentality.' Kangana Ranaut on her hard times It was a very difficult and very harsh time. I was physically abused. I don't have to go into details. I felt trapped. You feel people might help you. But there are no free lunches. But when you are going, you fall for it. This man, who was my father's age, hit me hard on my head when I was 17. I started bleeding. I took out my sandal and hit his head hard, and he started to bleed too. I lodged an FIR against the man. Kangana Ranaut, who made her debut in 2006 with Gangster, went on to give several memorable films and bagged awards for her portrayals in Queen, Fashion, Manikarnika, Tanu Weds Manu Returns and others.

The actor-director replied, 'I have been doing films for 25 years. There are certain actors, directors, writers who I have known and they have debuted maybe 10 years after me. If there is something in their work that I feel, from my observation, that this could be better or that I have this piece of advice to give them. .. genuinely I would pick up the phone and call them. Or sit down and have a conversation with a person I care about in a sensitive way because you are going into somebody's creative process and giving them constructive feedback from your point of view.' Farhan added that he did not feel Naseeruddin's comments came from such a place. 'It has to be done with a certain degree of love and a certain degree of respect for the other person. I felt that it didn't come from that place. I just felt it was just like a statement thrown out publicly. I felt that then this person doesn't respect you... so why should I reach out to a person who doesn't respect me?'
