2004 interview with Shah Rukh Khan
In 2004, Shah Rukh Khan spoke openly about his relationship with Salman. He admitted to being disappointed at times. He revealed that apologizing does not come easily to him. He added that he feels too old to learn to say sorry. On an appearance Coffee with Karan Season 3, The Host Karan Johar asked Shah Rukh, “Do you think Salman Khan has a problem with you? Because you couldn’t continue the friendship?”
Responding to this, Shah Rukh said, “That’s what I said. I can’t keep friends. I don’t know how to keep friends. I would not like to blame anyone. I take all the credit that people love me. But if people don’t like it, it has nothing to do with them. It’s all on me.”
SRK’s emotional confession
Shah Rukh shared a deeply personal insight into relationships and regret. She explained why she struggles to express forgiveness or reconnect emotionally in certain situations.He further added, “If Salman Khan has a problem with me, I’ve failed him 100 percent. Farah has a problem with me, I’ve failed him 100 percent. If you (KJo) have a problem with me, then I’ve left you. And I feel sad because I’ve let people down. The funny thing is — as far as I know, I haven’t said anything, I don’t feel anything. To do with you, because I like to hug people, I can’t hug an old friend and say ‘come back to me’. Because I couldn’t do that with my parents. I hugged their dead bodies and told them to ‘come back to me’ and they didn’t. So I have lost that quality to call people. And this is not to create any news bytes, but yes, if Salman is upset with me, it has to do with me and he has every right. I wish I knew how to pick up a phone and say sorry, but I don’t know how to say sorry and I’m too old to learn that.’The friendship between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan dates back to the 1990s. They shared screen space in films like ‘Karan Arjun’ and ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. Recently, the two actors appeared together in ‘Tiger 3’.
