We have different perspectives which is fine. The subcontinent is the target audience of Indian cinema, so people from there living somewhere else is still the diaspora. Shah Rukh Khan has the same reach and has not worked at all in the west and I am sure some white people who've never seen a single film of his and couldn't pick him out of a lineup would recognize his name; those same people will never pay for a ticket to his film or appearances. If that is internationally successful to you then he's internationally successful. In my opinion if the name recognition doesn't lead to a truly international (white, black, brown, etc) audience, its not truly international success.
