All parents bring up their children with certain values. And it's not surprising that Shahrukh's parents never laid down any rules. 'That's also why none were broken. My mom used to talk about hard work, honesy and heartfelt feelings. But one thing they taught me was, 'If you like doing something, go ahead and do it'. I never feel guilty about anything I do.
