Shah Rukh Khan is shy of women

Believe it or not, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan says that he is shy of women.

In an interview with the weekly newsmagazine Tehelka, the King Khan revealed why he talks so much about his son Aryan and so little of his daughter Suhana: "It's not that I'm not proud of her. In fact, I'm more proud of her in a certain way than even my son perhaps. But I'm shy of women.

"It's very shocking, but even with her friends, I can't play for too long. I think girls should be left on their own. And I've got this thing - I've never seen the inside of my wife's cupboard, or her handbag, or her drawers, or whatever. I've been married since '91, and I can't do it. I think a woman should have a lot of privacy. I'm like that even with my daughter."

SRK admitted that most of his closest friends are women – Farah Khan , Juhi Chawla and Kajol – and most his male friends like Karan Johar are not very macho either.

About his much discussed "asexuality": "Its not asexuality. I'm just shy of women. I wouldn't know how to pick up a lover. If that's the right word to use."

"Sometimes girls say they like me. I don't know what to say, so before she thinks I'm foolish or asexual, I just say something funny. The best way to kill romance is to joke. And, again it's that conservative thing - I can't make the first move..."

Often castigated for dancing in marriages for money, SRK answered why and how: "I do perform at weddings. But it is very difficult to afford what I demand. You have to do it like a show, it has to be in an area where nobody drinks and eats, it will start at 9 p.m. and end at 11.30 p.m., the stage will be 30 by 40 feet, we will make our entries, we will not chat with anyone, we will not eat your food, we will not take pictures with your daughter or daughter-in-law, unless we personally want to. We will come, perform, and we will go away."

Discussing films, SRK said he simply that he doesn't watch them. "I get corrupted. When I see a good film and it doesn't do well, or I see a bad film, and it does well, it confuses me. I saw Rang De Basanti . It was very well done. I was supposed to do a part in it. It was lying with me for about a year. I was shocked by the fact that I couldn't read into the script. I just didn't see any of it."

SRK also admitted that he didn't like close friend Aditya Chopra 's hit film Dhoom 2 because it lacked sensibility.
