The Bollywood star said, “I don't like to use bad language in my films. Before my kids, I was a little more relaxed. I'll be very honest, I didn't think about other people. But now that I do have kids, I think there are a lot of things I should not do. But whatever I do, I stand by it.”He also added, “I don't like dark films, I don't want to play very mean characters. I like films to be pleasant and nice and show some good things.” However, Shah Rukh added that banning smoking or drinking on-screen might be a step too far: “On the other hand, banning smoking or drinking on screen is not such a great idea. I think it's narrow-minded.”Recent workIn 2023, Shah Rukh starred in Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, as well as making a cameo appearance as Pathaan in Tiger 3.
