The 39-year-old has made 49 movies since he began acting in Hindi films at the age of 26. Top stars like Shahrukh khan earn over a million dollars film. His Mansion, overlooking the sea in a posh part of Mumbai, has its own theater, but he's watched only one movie in it. "I don't watch Hindi Films," he says taking a drag on a cigarette." Too long. They go on and on". I remark that he's done well for himself in Bollywood and ask's if he's ever faced any prejudice because he's a Muslim. " The Hindu-Muslim partition has never happened in the Indian Film Industry" he says." It is completely secular—it welcomes everyone with open arms." Though Muslims make up only 12 percent of India's population, three of the five biggest male stars have the same Muslim last name, Khan---Shahrukh, Aamir, and Salman."Its so strange that in a Hindu nation like India they think of me as God", Shahrukh says. "Muslims just rock in the film Industry."
