Bollywood superstar and six-pack flaunter Shah Rukh Khan is a self-confessed foodie who can out-eat the best, given his appetite. In an exclusive interview Mala Sekhri of Harper's Bazaar, Shah Rukh Khan reveals his love for food and why he has a problem eating at restaurants. Excerpts from the interview: Do you have a favourite restaurant? I don't eat outside. I'm very bad with food. What do you eat? I eat anything that is given to me. I'm a true food lover. You could give me anything funny tasting. I never complain about food because I thinkâ?¦ rizak, usko Urdu mein rizak bolte hain. Woh khuda ki nehmat hoti hai. I have no issues with food at all. You can give me anything. I can eat your microphone right now.

So do you remember any food joints in Delhi that you used to go to? My father used to own restaurants. We are actually owners of restaurants. So, I remember the butter chicken and naan. The food that both of them used to cook, my father's speciality was, what we call, Pathani food and my mother's was Hyderabadi and she used to make all Hyderabadi food. Actually that's why I don't like restaurants.

After having eaten food from my father and mother's hands for so long. My mother used to feed me till she died. I was 26 and I'm not ashamed of it. She used to mix food and give it to me. So I still don't know how to eat with my hands. I feel I look very uneducated. That's why I don't go to restaurants because I feel a little ashamed. Plus I don't think I find any food as tasty as that. So when my friends and family go out I ask them to call me when the food is over. I'll eat at home and then I'll land up there and have coffee. My favourite restaurant will probably be McDonald's because my kids like it or maybe KFC, or one of those places. I go to restaurants with my friends, but very seldom.

At 45, do you think you're more conscious now about what you eat, your health... No, I don't sleep. I smoke about a 100 cigarettes. I forget to eat. I have to eat food. I just remembered halfway through your shoot. Umm...I don't drink water. I have about 30 cups of black coffee and I have a six-pack. So the less I take care of myself, the more I get taken care of.
