"My choice of investment would be in public utilities for women all around the country, in small towns and villages. That is what I want to do. I want to dedicate my life to the cause. I want dignity and respect to be brought to women," the actor said.

"I am going to earn enough money so that I don't have to ask an industrialist or a political party or anyone. I will do it on my own," Shah Rukh said, at the 'Express Adda', part of a series of conversations with newsmakers, hosted by the Indian Express, here last night.
The superstar said he would like to undertake the project as a social service cause. "I think I am trying to follow it, it's a very small thing. But when I was young and I used to drive on the highways, I had this issue.

"This (public utilities for women) is a very small issue really, so I don't think I need to be a prime minister for (accomplishing) that. I will be able to sort it out in the next five-six years. But I want to do it with my money. I want to do it through my films. I want to sell my soul if need be. I will get the money," he added.
