Its like a totally different world in one of his movies. The 3 to 3 1/2 hours would go by so quickly (almost too quickly!) Then, I would often reside to watching another one of his movies. I guess that is one of the reasons I am such a big daydreamer! but that man is just perfection all summed up and put in the form of a man. He has captivated me in a different way. His contribution for the humanity has touched my soul , and has become a part of my life not through your acting skills only but I feel the hidden Shah Rukh Khan is a wondrous being.
