Success of 'Chak De..' has given me inner peace: SRK

Mumbai, Aug 21 (UNI) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said the success of his latest film ''Chak De...India'' has given him ''inner peace''.

''I do not think I am was a legend. I am just doing a basic job.

People have been good to me and I have not been mean to anybody,'' the actor said.

To a question on what he felt was his USP, ''my sense of humour,'' the actor replied.

When asked how he would like to be remembered, the actor said,''when you meet my children after many years, they will tell you that I was a good father.''

He has already paid heavily for his mistake ,''he said.
