"Success imparts no wisdom, failure teaches you everything.

Failure is very important. Fear of failure will make you pragmatic. It will make you logical in your thinking", he told a young audience at a quiz show here this evening.

Failure takes any form and it is the experience of failure that takes one's life forward, he added.

"Don't' worry, get things wrong and learn from it", he said at the quiz show where participants were questioned on varying subjects ranging from brands, marketing concepts to management principles. "Failure would always make you want to work hard", he said.

VHP goes hyper on '...Khan'

Meanwhile, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Monday appeared to back the Shiv Sena by calling for a nationwide boycott of Shah Rukh Khan's "My Name is Khan" but took objection to the Sena's Mumbai-for-Marathis stand and said every inch of India belonged to all Indians.

"People of India must boycott 'My Name is Khan' as Shah Rukh Khan is a traitor," VHP general secretary Pravin Togadia told journalists here.

"My Name is Khan", starring Shah Rukh and Kajol, is set to be released Friday.

But the star is mired in a blazing row over his recent comments advocating the cause of Pakistani cricket players who were not picked by any team for IPL.

Togadia threatened that posters of the film would be torn down.

Interestingly, the radical VHP leader locked horns with the Shiv Sena that had also objected to Shah Rukh's comments by saying Mumbai could not be only for Marathis.

"The VHP's stand is very clear and we differ on the Shiv Sena's position. According to us, every inch of India belongs to all Indians and every Indian has the right to stay with dignity in any part of the country... Mumbai, Delhi, and even Kashmir is for all Indians," the VHP leader said.

"If we try to stay that Mumbai is for Marathis and outsiders have to leave Mumbai, then I would say India would not survive."

Shah Rukh fed up of controversy

Bollywood superstar said he is tired of being under the Shiv Sena scanner for his stand on Pakistani players in the Indian Premier League (IPL), and says now he is hoping that all ends well.

"(I) hope all turns out well. Hate altercations and misunderstandings - tired of interpretations of this whole undesired and sad affair," Shah Rukh posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Shah Rukh, who owns IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, had been facing the ire of the Shiv Sena for his comments favouring the inclusion of Pakistani players in the third season of the IPL.

The Shiv Sena sought a public apology from the star and threatened to ban his films in Mumbai, starting with the much-awaited "My Name Is Khan" slated to release Friday.

But the issue sorted out when Sena leaders unofficially retracted from having issued any such diktat to ban the movie and it is expected that it may be released without any problems now. Shah Rukh said he had been "misunderstood" on that issue.

"I don't think I have ever said anything anti-national or non-Indian. I need not explain my Indian-ness to anybody. I have only said what every Indian should. I stand by what I have said. I think there's a bit of agenda and politics in all this," Shah Rukh had told reporters after returning from London.
