You can love him or hate him. You came praise him or criticize him. You can love his movies or hate them. You came praise his movies or criticize them. You can love his acting or hate his acting. You can praise his acting or criticize his acting. But it all comes down to whatever you chose to do, you simply can't ignore him.
This man needs to introduction. He is none other than Shahrukh Khan, known as the King Khan to many of his fans and well wishers. That is a title no one can take away from him and he truly is a King in all respects (in my opinion at least).
He will soon turn 48 years old.. Many people are taking digs at his age and how he looks his age. Those people are forgetting all the medical problems that Shahru has gone through in his early stage of life. For all that this man has gone through, he is certainly fit and fine for his age. We all know his bad habit of smoking which he has said he is trying to give up. Just in a recent birthday interview he mentioned his daughter Suhana is telling him the same thing to give up smoking. Those who smoke know its not an easy task to do that. But we wish Shahrukh the best in trying to get rid of his habit. Who cares if he looks his age while his contemporaries don't. This isn't anything about how old someone is. This is only about the talent, passion, dedication, and commitment a person has for his career. And Shahrukh indeed has all of that.
Now coming to his movies we all know that not all of them have been great hits. And neither do we expect each and every movie of his to be hits. Many people liked seeing Shahrukh in a negative role in which he started of his career (not his first initial films, but quite early in his career) with such films as Baazigar and Darr.
While some liked his 'negative' avatar, many more loved his 'lover' boy character that came with his movies Dilwalhe Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
With just these 4 films one thing was sure. That Shahrukh was in the industry for good. With just his initial films, he proved himself in the industry. He was loved by millions.
Then there were those movies near the beginning of his career that either didn't do so well, got mixed reviews from the audience, or were claimed super hit films like Karan Arjun, Dil Toh Pagal Hai, and Pardes. Others that got mixed reviews from the audience include: Koyla, Yes Boss, Duplicate, Dil Se, & Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.
But with films like Mohabbatein & Khabhi Khushi Khabhi Gaum Shahrukh once again stole the hearts of millions.
Devdas, Hum Tumhare Hai Sanam, Chalte Chalte, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Main Hoon Naa, and Veer Zaara were another set of films that had rather mixed reviews by the audience. Some loved it, others not so much. But each movie proved that Shahrukh was here to stay and rule hearts of millions.
Then came Shahrukh in a new avatar with Swades.
Paheli and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna didn't do as well with the audience either.
For those who were tired of the 'lover' boy Shahrukh were in for a treat with the release of Don.
Chak De India, Om Shanti Om, and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi didn't do as well as expected, but that didn't stop Shahrukh fans from watching these movies.
My Name is Khan saw Shahrukh in a different, unique role. Some loved it, others hated it. But it created an impact overall. Many were just excited to see the pairing of Kajol and Shahrukh after a long time.
And now we come down to the most recent release of King Khan that stirred up some quite mixed reviews. Ra One is a unique film meant more for the younger generation. Some loved it, some thought it was average, and some hated it. But this movie is one movie that could not be ignored by anyone.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan, got a lot of mixed reviews. The film was very close to the actor's heart as it was Mr. Yash Chopra's last directional film. Little did anyone know that the famous director whom Shahrukh owes most of his stardom to, would pass away. Shahrukh is where he is because of Mr. Yash Chopra ji. The film also co starred Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
Finally in this tribute of King Khan, we end with his most recent film to date, Chennai Express co starring Deepika Padukone. This film did exceptionally well at the box office. And of course our king rocked in it as usual.
Shahrukh continues to steal the hearts of millions of admires, fans, and well wishers. We all understand that not everyone will be a fan or a well wisher. But the bottom line is that no one can ignore this Khan by any means. He has made a place in Bollywood and even if you may not like him, you can't deny that his hard work has paid off in the industry. Here's wishing the King of Bollywood a very successful life. May he continue to entertain us with lots of more films. May he continue surprising us with new adventures. He has this charm to him. 😳
You can love him or hate him, praise him or criticize him, but you can't ignore him. He is who he is. And I hope he never changes ever! Praying every day for his success. God bless him and his family.
