Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently confessed that he cannot easily express his emotions towards his children, and hence uses cooking as a way of professing his love. The actor further added that he finds cooking therapeutic and bonds with his children by cooking meals for them. In fact, Shah Rukh had said that he has been learning cooking and would love to open an Italian restaurant in the city.
Recently when quizzed SRK about his newfound love for cooking and serving, the 'Raees' actor said, "I have been telling my friends and colleagues that once I learn cooking, I’d love to call them over and serve them, because I love doing that. I think of acting too as ‘serving’. As an actor, when you serve and present your acting, you hope people like and enjoy it as much as you enjoyed making it [the film]. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don’t. Plus, you don’t impose yourself on people and be like accha laga ya nahi? (did you like it or not?). You just serve. I like to serve people in the house."
And when broached the subject of him starting a restaurant in the city, SRK asserted, "I know it sounds very girlish (smiles). But then, I’m all for the empowerment of women. I want to be equal to women. I want to go higher up to their level, instead of thinking that they have to go higher. But I genuinely want to cook. Imagine, if I open a chain of restaurants and stores, kitna business karunga main (smiles). Having said that, Juhi (Chawla) once asked me, ‘Why have you named your company, Red Chillies?’ And I was like, ‘just in case film-making fails, I’ll open a restaurant by the same name. Red Chillies Restaurant toh chalega hi!"
