King Khan is outta the closet

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br />That was quite a performance at the Filmfare awards!

It was all in good fun: We made fun of ourselves too.<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">How do you see your own performances?</span><br /><br />I work with the top five directors in the country and they always want to work with me. People would give an arm and a leg to work with them. So why shouldn''t I repeat them? And my acting, that''s the way I perform. If you don''t like it, don''t watch it. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">You''ve been seen smoking very openly in public. Is it really that hard to quit a bad habit? </span><br /><br />It must be. I''ve been trying to give it up for over 12 years now. But I know it''s not a good thing. To all the youngsters reading this, I think smoking is a curse and you should not smoke because smoking kills you. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Did your company Dreamz Unlimited become Red Chillies because all its major projects flopped? </span><br /><br />It''s got nothing to do with that. I think Dreamz made very good films. I am very proud of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Asoka</span> and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani</span>, perhaps even more than <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Chalte Chalte</span> and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Main Hoon Na</span> because those were our first films. Red Chillies is just an offshoot of that company because our other partners have come in. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">After outrightly rejecting </span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="" font-style:="" italic="">Lagaan</span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold=""> , you''re now working with director Ashutosh Gowarikar in </span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="" font-style:="" italic="">Swades </span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">. Comment. </span><br /><br />It''s not that I rejected <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Lagaan</span>. All the producers, including Ratan Jain had rejected that movie. They thought it wouldn''t work as a film, and I wasn''t ready to produce films on my own at the time. Ashutosh is an old friend. He wanted to make another film (<span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Swades</span>), he asked me and I agreed. Look Who''s Talking is a politically incorrect column that puts celebrities in a spot and asks them questions that they really don’t want to answer. <br /><br /><formid=367815></formid=367815></div> </div>
