Shah Rukh Khan feels he made enemies after Chennai Express

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan feels that after the huge success of ‘Chennai Express’, he made more enemies in the industry than ever before.

“Failures also gets you to find who your real friends are. The true strength of your relationship gets tested in the phase of strong adversity. I lost lots of friends post RA.One, apart from losing a lot of audience too. And after Chennai Express, I haven’t made any new friends but I have a whole new set of enemies now,” the 47-year-old King Khan said.

Rohit Shetty directed ‘Chennai Express’ is one of the highest grossers at the box-office in the history of Bollywood.

“I am scared of losing. I am scared of coming second. I am scared of not making it big. So, I have such a fear of failure that I work harder when even I don’t need to. I work longer when I don’t have to. I never rest on my laurels because I feel that this will be taken away one day. I have this fear that if I don’t work hard enough I will lose what I have attained and not be able to continue to do so. I don’t have blood pressure neither I am a heart victim but I need to just work hard,” Shah Rukh said.  

When asked what motivates him to carry on he said, “When I look at a project, I feel I don’t know anything and I begin the film as a newcomer. I take it as my last project and give all my efforts to make it big so that I don’t repent later.”

Shah Rukh is currently bust filming Farah Khan’s Happy New Year which is slated to release on October 24, next year. Happy New Year also features Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Sonu Sood. If rumoured are to be believed then Aishwarya Rai may appear in a special guest role in Happy New Year.
