While addressing fans at the special meet and greet session on his 60th birthday, SRK spoke about his character. He said, "People often draw a line between a hero and a villain. But I’ve never believed in that distinction. I’ve played roles like Darr early in my career, a character who, by today’s standards, would be called a villain or a stalker. Then came Don, Anjaam, Baazigar; I was the bad guy in all of them."
