Shahrukh Khan has revealed that he couldn't care less about the famous 100 crore club in Bollywood because it is the audiences love that is important.

Speaking exclusively to ANI, the B-Town celeb asserted that being applauded and appreciated by the audience is all that matter to an actor, so the numbers are a superficial way of looking at things off course for Disney, UTV and Red chilies, as they are business people, who have invested a lot of money.

The 'Chennai Express' star insisted that money is just a way of determining that people are actually watching your movies, and nothing else.

"But for me as an actor as a creative person, I think the essence, the feeling behind that number is important because a lot of people are watching it, and liking it, otherwise you don't get these numbers on that level. That's how I think of it but it's not something I put my mind to," the actor said.

Khan added that he hoped people just watch his movies, instead of thinking of the 100 crores or 200 crores.
