New Delhi, Dec 12 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said the ordinary middle class character of Surinder Sahni that he essays in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' is what he really is and wants the romantic iconic crown to shift from the earlier yuppie characters to 'Suri' 'because he's got a good heart'.
'I come from an educated lower middle class background and I have never lost touch with that. Suri is what I really am. And my challenge as an actor is genuinely to make Surinder Sahni the new romantic icon,' Shah Rukh told CNN-IBN in an interview.
'I want everybody not to love Raj (the name of his character in 1995 mega hit 'Dilwale Dulhaniyan Le Jayenge') anymore and say 'We want to be Suri'. The romantic iconic status crown now shifts from Raj and Rahul to Surinder Sahni because he's got a good heart,' he said.
He was also full of praise for his new co-star Anushka Sharma, saying she 'kept him on his toes'.
'I feel responsible for her (Anushka's) career because she is starting off with me. I hope she does a fantastic job,' he said.
'From the bottom of my heart I pray for her and I hope this film does really good for her and she does amazing amount of work, so we can feel proud that we started her career on celluloid.'
