Shah Rukh Khan says has never felt complete as an actor and that's what has kept him going for almost three decades in the industry.

The 53-year-old actor says rather than looking for end result, he believes in quietly celebrating milestones.

"I have never felt complete. As an artiste, I am very incomplete and I know that. If I am not, then I would not like to work. If I am complete then why would I wake up in the morning and work hard and still try to do something?," Shah Rukh said in a group interview.

Shah Rukh says he is restless by nature.

"I always think, within the commercial cinema set-up that I am working in, how can I bring in something new, as an actor, as a producer, in whatever capacity I can. I am not complete at all, I am very restless. If you think you are complete, then you are boring, over and done with!"
