International Desk: ============== If any Question, who is the badshah of Bollywood. ------------------------------------------------------------------ One world, one answer – Shahrukh Khan. He’s the badshah of Bollywood and a name to imagine with in Bollywood. He’s ruled and conquered a million hearts and there can be none like SRK! Famously dubbed as the ‘King of Romance’, SRK is known for his movies but his charm and charisma extends beyond that. SRK is also hugely popular on social networking sites and he has been trending on twitter as his followers have reached the 9 million mark. Apart from his acting, for the following reasons why people love King Khan and Badshah of Bollywood. Popularity: Shahrukh Khan’s reach crosses borders and countries. His films have markets in countries like USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Malaysia and Bangladesh. NRIs love Shahrukh and he is perhaps the most popular Bollywood star internationally. Charm: --------- He’s the image of charm when it comes to a leading man in Hindi cinema. From his wit, intelligence, humor to his rhetoric skills, SRK’s more than just a cinematic figure. An icon for the nation, he is a people’s person and has an effect on everyone he comes in contact with. Long before he became King Khan, he started his career with theatre and moved on to television. He was loved in the series Fauji and Circus. SRK made his debut with the film Deewana which and he won the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award for it. Shahrukh has had many hits to his credit and the actor made it on his own in Bollywood without any god father. What’s also interesting is that SRK did a lot of anti hero roles in films like Baazigar, Darr and Anjaan to name a few. This was a courageous step considering many of his contemporaries refrained from doing so, especially when there were specific roles for ‘villains’ in Bollywood. SRK was perhaps one of the first few actors to create the trend of playing anti hero roles. In fact it can also be said that SRK was one of the first few from his generation or rather the first to blur the line between a hero and villain. Today, he’s the badshah of the industry and is an actor most in demand. His last outing Chennai Express was a runaway success and created new records at the box office. He is now all set to rock the screens once again with Happy New Year. At present he is not only an actor but also a producer, television personality and philanthropist. Hard Working: ------------------ SRK is known to be a hardworking actor who pretty much works round the clock and is said to ever hardly sleep! Even his fellow actors from Bollywood are in praise for him. Gentleman: -------------- SRK’s known to be a thorough gentleman and is always known to take a stand when necessary. In fact, in his bid to empower women through a campaign, he had the name of his leading lady mentioned first in the film Chennai Express and he has decided to do this with all his films. He’s also a true friend to many people in the industry. His female co stars have been all praises for him be it Kareena Kapoor, Kajol or Juhi Chawla. Business mind: -------------------- Credit SRK for being not just an actor and producer but also a businessman. A report in Wealth-X has estimated SRK to be worth $600 million, beating Hollywood big wigs like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood and Adam Sandler. Seems like he has the Midas touch as everything he touches seems to turn to gold. -----------------------------------------------------Adv. Rouf Khan/USA
