SRK, who is celebrating the record-breaking box office success of his latest release
Happy New Year, said it is unfortunate that some people think of him as being repetitive.
"I often read articles about how I keep doing the same thing. It's unfortunate because I can't explain people that it's not the same thing. I feel very deeply about what I do and I try to turn it around and make light of what I do because I don't think everyone wants to know the process that I go through as an actor.
"I reinvent myself every time," Shah Rukh said and asked his fans to expect the unexpected from him.
"Please expect the unexpected from me. I try my best every time and give the unexpected for the love of the people. I always try to be a little different and try to be little unexpected so that people are intrigued and enjoy my work," he said.
SRK said all he wants to do is to try to be an actor. "That's all. I just want to act."
Shah Rukh, who made 8-pack abs for
Happy New Year, is all praises for his co-actor Sonu Sood, saying his physique inspires him. "He is so disciplined about his eating, sleeping time. He inspires me," he added said.
