I am unsocial by nature: Shahrukh

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan may be known for his gift of gab and witty one liners during his press conferences but the actor states that he is unsocial by nature.The ‘Baadshah of Bollywood’ says that he is not a member of social networking sites and does not blog frequently (apart from his posts on Kolkata Night Riders website) because he does not consider himself socially capable.

I don’t have social etiquettes. I am socially not very capable. I really cant do that ‘Hi how are you.. I am shopping here…here is a pic of my dog…’,” said the actor who was in the city recently to host a MBA quiz show organised by IIPM. My friends, Karan (director Karan Johar) and all are deeply into it but not me. I don’t even us a phone,” said Shahrukh.

But the actor revealed that he uses Internet to download online books as he “enjoys knowledge”. Shahrukh said that with e-books it has become convenient for him to read even while he is on the move. The actor who recently downloaded about 300 books online advised to his fans to absorb as much knowledge you can.

“Whatever it takes, read a lot in whichever medium you feel comfortable. Personally, reading is the nicest thing which can happen to me,” Shahrukh said.
