MUMBAI: In a throwback interview with Lehren TV, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan once addressed the perception of him being arrogant.

In the interview, the actor went on to explain that what many call as his arrogance is actually him standing up for his self-respect and professionalism.

Speaking about the perception around him, Shah Rukh Khan said, “I don't know if people call self-respect arrogance, then 100 percent I am arrogant. Now what happens in film magazines is that when I say this line, they cut the first part and say, ‘Yes, I am arrogant.’ So maybe that's why.

The actor also spoke about his working style in the film industry, revealing that he has always insisted on wanting a proper script with dialogues while narration of a movie.

According to Shah Rukh, this approach, earlier during his struggling drew criticism from some filmmakers, but later his same behaviour began to be seen as his dedication and passion for work once he became successful.
