Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan attended a session on 'The Journey: From Outsider to Ruler' at the inaugural day of the WAVES summit in Mumbai. In a fireside chat with director friend Karan Johar and Deepika Padukone, King Khan spoke about the time he wanted to step away from showbiz, courtesy of a script that expected him to wear a skirt. 

When SRK wanted to take a step back from Bollywood

When Karan Johar asked Shah Rukh Khan if he ever felt like stepping away from Bollywood when things were not working in his favour with changing times, the actor shared, “Some years back, I was sitting at home, and Karan Johar came to my house with a script. I won’t name the script. The script required me to be wearing a skirt throughout the film. That is the only time I wanted to step back. I said, ‘Yaar aisa toh nahi hoga yaar.’ It was one of those films in olden times where men wore skirts, not androgenous men like me.” Watch the video below.
