Women will rule the industry in the next ten years: Shah Rukh Khan

After ensuring that the actress' name comes first in the credit roles, Shah Rukh Khan will now incorporate the same in award shows next year. His recent blockbuster, 'Chennai Express', ensured that actress Deepika Padukone's name came before his name, in the credit roles.

When asked if he wanted to do the same in the award shows, SRK said, "I think they should do it. I am hosting an award show next year and I will ensure that the best actress award should be saved for the last. It is a nice thing. Hindi films, and films at large, are a little patriarchal. But don't worry. It will change in the next ten years. Women will rule."

Director and good friend R Balki's Tata Tea ad was inspirational for SRK to put Deepika's name in the beginning of the film. "Balki had made that ad for Tata Tea and I got the idea. Since Chennai Express is our film, I could take the call. We will do the same thing with Farah's Happy New Year," he added.
