Shah Rukh Khan
Being King is about taking responsibility
He is ‘King Khan’ to his fans and the industry and his next film quite coincidentally is called King too. Shah Rukh Khan, however, brushes off the power the title bestows on him, saying it’s less an identity and more “a reminder to live with heart, humility, and purpose”. “The word ‘king’ has never meant power to me. It has always been about responsibility — to the people who believe in you and the stories you choose to tell,” Shah Rukh told PTI. The superstar, first seen in the TV show Fauji (1989), has worn the ‘Bollywood king’ crown with ease over three decades, and continues to be called the Baadshah of Bollywood.
