The awards season is on and Shah Rukh Khan has already hosted two! He has also bagged the Best Actor award for his turn in the blockbuster Happy New Year. And, unlike his contemporaries, Aamir Khanand Salman Khan, who have stopped attending awards or being associated with them, SRK continues to make his presence felt in a big way. We asked the Badshah if awards still matter to him and does he support them.
Salman Khan and Aamir Khan have stopped going to awards' functions. But you clearly seem to support these functions...
The way I look at it is different. If you see it critically, I would say no support is needed. But in the larger context you have to see what is the parameter, the criteria. If you are judging by popularity, then only four or five actors will get because they are popular. If you are judging offbeat films which we may not have seen and don't fit in the popular culture, it's different. Award functions, not only here, but across the world, are televised events. Even TV actors are awarded at some. Now we don't question if the awards given (to TV actors) that are seasonal or yearly.
We like the characters they play and of course they are fantastic actors. Then sometimes I am told that I am the most popular actor on the internet. That may be because I have a large number of followers. It's not honest or wrong or unsupported - it's a completely different category. At times, I may have acted better than others but then someone is more popular on the internet. You have to accept in that spirit. The criteria is too wide. It's not specific.
