The letter K is probably SRK's favourite. Let's face it SRK is generally the coolest superstar around. Unlike the other Khans - who are either clinically cautious or roguishly unpredictable - Shah Rukh carries off his attitude as effortlessly as he rocks a branded suit.Ĭracking irreverent jokes with a straight face, taking on pompous political parties and boorish sports officials, sticking by his dream project even when it is universally panned, repeatedly announcing his embarrassing levels of affection for his children, slapping petty small-timers into their senses, doing cartwheels when his team wins the IPL - it's all in a day's work for him. Yet here we are, on the actor's 50th birthday on November 2, celebrating the superstar who defied incredible odds to become one of the most loved actors on the planet.įew mortals can put on a killer attitude and make it look as good as Shah Rukh Khan does. Khan was, and is, not particularly tall or strikingly handsome or impressively beefy. The statement, though blunt, is not entirely inaccurate.

In candid interviews over the years, an amused Shah Rukh Khan has often recalled this observation, made by a security guard during the actor's early years in Bollywood.

' Tu toh bilkul hero nahi lagta (you don't look like a hero at all).'
