When quizzed about what he uses a PC for, Shah Rukh Khan maintained that he only uses a laptop, mind you, a Compaq one of course! He said that he uses it often for script reading, to look at shots during film shoots so that he can improve and also to write notes, memos and pointers to himself. He also said that he uses his notebook to edit, although he frankly admitted that he’s not the finest at editing.
And, when asked why the biggest superstar of Bollywood didn’t maintain a blog, he quite humbly replied, “Keeping a blog to reach out to fans, means that I should also be handling it and writing in it daily. Either I can write blogs or keep working hard. But, yes, when I do give up my acting career when I’m really old, I may consider writing!”
