Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan who was today conferred with the title 'Honorary Black belt of Taekwondo' by the Korean Government said that he felt like a tough guy despite mostly doing romantic films in his two-decade-old career.

However King Khan, said that he has no plans to switch to the action genre and will stick to his lover-boy image. "I am just recovering from my shoulder injury and will take another two months to be fully fit. I plan to stick to romance and utilise both my hands perfectly first," he said.

SRK has been conferred the 5th degree black belt of Taekwondo even though he knows nothing of the sport. "My son Aryan is very angry with me.He has been practicing Taekwondo and will take another two years to earn this title. He told me that it was not fair to be conferred this honour when I cant even lift my leg," the doting father revealed.

The actor said that despite the black belt he has no plans to compete with Bollywood's martial arts specialist, Akshay Kumar. "I come nowhere near him," he said adding that he would explore the possibilities of utilising Korean locations for his film shoots and showcasing Taekwondo in his films.

Apart from the honour in Taekwondo, the actor was appointed the Honorary Ambassador of Korea (Culture and Tourism) in India. He promised that he would focus on building bridges between the film industries of the two countries.

SRK said his children Aryan and Suhana are learning Taekwondo and won gold medals in competitions at school. "The kids are very small but their knuckles and kicks are really hard and they try it out on me sometimes,"he said.
