"I have two children who tell me I should do more stunts so I listen to them more than I listen to her (wife Gauri). I like doing it. I have fun. I feel if I don't do something challenging then I am succumbing to that injury," Shah Rukh told PTI in an interview here.
The 48-year-old actor is also prone to injuries.
"I have made myself stronger to overcome the shoulder, back injury. As an actor its important physically, emotionally mentally to be always challenged and try do the best I can. The stunt (in 'Happy New Year') is difficult going down the building.. But it's on a wire.. It is safe but scary," he said.
"They get bored coming to shoots so they don't come too often. When I shoot in Mumbai they don't come... They hate shooting. When I shoot abroad they can't come always as they are studying now but sometimes they do," Shah Rukh said.
The 'Chennai Express' star in a profession where he has to be away from family most of the time but he does try to make up for it by going on holidays and being with them when he is not working.
