“Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho to puri kaynaat usse tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai… Sachi mohabbat zindagi main sirf ek baar hoti hai, aur jab hoti hai, toh koi bhagwan ya khuda usse nakamayab nahi hone deta.”
As I type these words, I want to believe it so bad and give all my might to manifest. And just like me, you and the rest of the world are bound to go by it because Shah Rukh Khan said so.
They call him the last of the Superstars, but Shah Rukh Khan is the greatest of all and will remain so till the end of times.
As he spreads his arms, countless souls imagine themselves rushing into his embrace, letting all go. Can one possibly enlist how his presence bewitches the cosmos? I suppose not, but one can only try.
His Love For Gauri Khan
While many people in the industry have unfortunate and tumultuous relationships, Shah Rukh Khan has been head over heels for Gauri Khan right from the onset. Gauri also drew Shah Rukh Khan to Mumbai. They had to fight many odds to be together and have braved several decades. He is seen treating Gauri no less than a Queen in all events and appearances so far. This makes us believe in his slogan of ‘One True Love’ and stick to it till the end.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Respect For Women
No man can possibly win a woman by degrading her, and Shah Rukh Khan is one of those who is an example for men at large as he has nothing but respect for women. Though billions are going gaga over him and willing to do anything for just a glimpse, he has always held women high. Be it in his films or real life, Shah Rukh Khan has always done it right.
His Humility
Shah Rukh Khan, despite his stardom, has remained down to earth and has never seen him disrespecting his fellows or even a fan. He still behaves like a fanboy of Dilip Sahab and Amitabh Bachchan. He is quite amicable and goes the extra mile even today to attend a fan. No wonder the entire Bandstand is crowded, only to get a single sight of him at Mannat.
Did you miss these stories?
His Good Looks
I could also mention this in the beginning, but one need not even say it. That thick bunch of hair, world-winning smile, supple skin, and epic build across four decades in the industry never fail to charm. And the dimple, God knows how many must have lost their way in it. Those eyes, how can one not fall in love by looking into them?
His Acting
The entire theatre does not shriek with whistles for just the above reasons, but Shah Rukh Khan is indeed one of the finest actors in the world. Though he is known for YRF films and his romance, he has also moved us with Swades, My Name Is Khan, Dear Zindagi, and many more gems.
His Wit
Though the world knows him for the star he is, Shah Rukh Khan is the wittiest of all stars out there. His responses in ‘Koffee With Karan’ are legendary. He is never bothered about those who troll or abuse him and has claimed to be worried when he is not attacked.
His Appeal Across Religions & Borders
Shah Rukh Khan is the face of Bollywood and India. The first thing anyone knows or utters about the both would be his name. He cannot be constricted to one faith or country. Everyone loves Him.
I know the list is endless, and I, at least, do not need a reason to love Shah Rukh Khan. Tell us, why do you fall for his Magic?
