We have sold our souls for selfies: ShahRukh

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan feels earlier his family used to feel awkward by the paparazzi culture, but now they consider it a part of their lives. He says his family has sold their souls for photographs.

“(Being photographed is) the part of stardom that we all have accepted…I think everybody in this day and age is fair game. We’ve sold our souls for selfies,” Shah Rukh told.

Shah Rukh, who is married to Gauri Khan, has three children — Aryan, Suhana and AbRam. In a video gone viral last month, Suhana, 17, looked helpless and uncomfortable as she tried to hide her face and turns around to escape shutterbugs while she waited for the doors of an elevator to open at a theatre’s basement.

“I think the kids started feeling awkward with all the paraphernalia. Every time I go out in a public place, I don’t take them with me. My wife doesn’t come, my children don’t come. I go to functions alone or post they have gone,” Shah Rukh said.
