Shahrukh Khan, who became the badshah of people’s hearts with his flamboyant lover-boy roles in films like DDLJ, Dil Toh Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein etc, is worried about the kind of roles he should be doing now.

Shahrukh Khan is wondering whether or not he could be an actor for long because people love to see him in a lover-boy’s role and at an age of 42 he couldn’t be romancing on screen for a long time.

“Shah Rukh knows that his time in Bollywood as an actor is limited. An actor can only go on for so long and with the kind of roles he plays – young romantics – then he will not be able to do that for any longer. He is already getting old. Shah Rukh hopes to retire from films within the next 3-4 years after which he will concentrate on production business. Shah Rukh will not make a complete exit from acting but intends to star in at least one film per year, but this will be for his own banner and the role will be of a supporting actor,” says a close source.

Shahrukh is popular with only his romantic avatar and that shortens his scope as an actor when he grows old… quite contrary to Aamir Khan who is likely to stick around longer than Sallu or Shahrukh.
