SRK talked about the reason behind taking a hiatus from films

Previously, in an interaction with News18, Shah Rukh Khan talked about taking a long hiatus of four years from films, post the mediocre success of his film, Zero. In her response, SRK revealed that he took the break in order to spend the time with himself. In his words:

“I think actually I never took the 4 year long break. Honestly for 1, 1 and a half year, I thought – Mai Thoda Sa Apne Aap Se Door Ho Gaya. Actor ko apne Kareeb rahna bahut zaroori jai. Films are so big and huge, sometimes you get carried away not in a bad way. I just wanted to be with myself. I though I’d sit home for 6-8 months, because at that time didn’t sign any films too. And again, I don’t file films in a jiffy. I am lazy internally.”
