The ace choreographer Saroj Khan once told Shah Rukh Khan that you should never say no to work because when you don’t get work, you feel very bad. Shah Rukh Khan related this story in an old interview where he was discussing stardom and his line of work.

SRK said, “I have seen people struggle for job, get work, and then be at the top and then not get work. I was taught by Saroj Khan once that ‘beta kaam jab mile na toh Kabhi na mat kehna Kyunki jab nahi milta toh buhut dookh hota hai’ and someone like Saroj Khan telling you that means a lot. If Saroj Khan is the source of these words of wisdom, they must mean a lot, according to Shahrukh Khan. He also said that Saroj Ji advised him not to use the phrase “Never say Ki arre yaar Kitna kaam hai, karte jaana, koi paisa de toh khushi se Le lena.” “Zindagi bhar nahi rahega” Kyunki kaafi chances hai.
