Shahrukh Autobiography Out Soon
Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is all set to fulfil one of his long-cherished desires -- releasing his autobiography, titled “Twenty Years In A Decade”.
Penning his experiences and thoughts, Khan takes his fans through his decade-long journey (from 1991-2001) in the book to hit the bookstores soon.
“I have written a book and it's complete now. I will ask my writer friends to edit it so that I can publish it. I have been writing it over last ten years. It is titled 'Twenty Years In A Decade' because I feel that in ten years I have lived a life of 20 years between 1991-2001.
“The book is about positivity, hope and it is also funny, just like me. I have written things about my life in the funniest way,” the actor told reporters in Mumbai on Monday evening.
Khan made his acting debut in 1988 when he appeared in the television serial “Fauji” and in 1989 did another TV soap called “Circus”. The actor made his Bollywood debut with Raj Kanwar's “Deewana” in 1992 alongside Rishi Kapoor and the late Divya Bharti. The film turned out to be a box office hit.
Sharing details about his book, the actor said, “there are very personal things in it...though selective memories. Also, there is a chapter on journalism.”
The 45-year-old says his favourite chapter is one that talks about his parents. “One of my favourite chapters in the book talks about my mother and father…which I completed in almost eight pages.”
Asked whether he would take up writing a film, the actor refused, saying, “I think anyone can write a story but it is difficult to write a screenplay. Though in every film I do, I provide inputs but writing a full script…I don't think I can. I don't know how to.”
The actor reads everything under the sun. “I read everything including the laundry list that comes at my home. When I used to stay in hotel and couldn't find a book to read I used to read the instructions on how to escape in case of fire. I love reading and like to read almost every book. I need to read before I sleep,” Khan said.
