After being introduced as the ‘King of Bollywood’ at the recently held ‘Golden Globe Awards’, Shah Rukh’s joy seems to have no bounds. The actor is not just ecstatic about AR Rahman’s victory but also charged up about the fact that India’s finally getting noticed abroad.
SRK, who graced the Golden Globe red carpet on Sunday, said in an interview to a news portal, “I am very honoured and at the same time I accept with full humility that I was not called because of who I am, but it was because Indian cinema is being looked upon with importance by the Western world now.”
When asked why he was chosen to represent Bollywood, the actor gushed humbly “I just happen to be one of the faces of Bollywood and so they chose me.”
According to him, Indian cinema has finally arrived and the way a film made entirely in India has been received by the western audience, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that the Golden Globe win is just a stepping stone for Indian cinema.
Guess it is time for Indian filmmakers to take a cue from meaningful cinema like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and make hay while the sun is shining bright on India!
