King Khan completed 20 years in Bollywood. On the occasion he took to Twitter to share his secret of success.

Can we call it honesty, when Shah Rukh Khan admits to being plain lucky to have achieved stardom. "Twenty uninterrupted years of serving. Not enough talent or looks or game plan. Thank you all. I guess I got lucky, lucky to be working all the time," he tweeted.

He followed it up with his next tweet. And there he unravels his 'game plan'..."A little madness. A bit of solitude. Too silly to realise it's impossible and maybe that's why it gets achieved."

He concluded the tweet series thus..."Mom said to only feel and say positive things. 'Your Farishtey (angels) are always listening and fulfil your words.' My Farishtey work overtime."
