Why King Khan is KING KHAN! SRK loves to have them all


SRK’s popularity seems to be scaling new heights not just in Bollywood but in every arena where he makes his presence. SRK has always taken calculated risks and he is raring for more. Energy is his middle name and he is simply unstoppable. Unlike other stars who say that they are not bothered about number, SRK has stated that it feels good to be on top. He believes in being the best and not necessarily the first. He may not necessarily start a trend but he will do things his way. Shahrukh Khan likes to get back to people in his own inimitable style.

Politicians SRK was spurned by a section of politicians who stated that SRK should stop coming to watch cricket matches for advertising his movie. SRK felt hurt, but made the necessary changes. He bid and won the Kolkata team for the IPL cricket matches. Shahrukh made cricket his personal concern now and no one could stop him.

TZP trio: Darsheel Safary, Aamir Khan and Taare Zameen Par are the words frequently used this season. Aamir Khan suddenly loomed over SRK. Though both the Khans are friendly with each other, SRK wanted to make his presence felt among kids too. Hrithik is popular with kids (Kaho na pyaar Hai and Koi..Mil Gaya) and so is Aamir Khan (Taare Zameen Par)..C Shahrukh be left behind? No way, he wants to be there..up there! No prizes for guessing, SRK has come up with a quiz show for kids- Kya Aap Panchvi Pass se Tez Hain? and the most expensive movie for kids


Amitabh Bachchan-There were a lot of debates about who was the box office ruler Amitabh Bachchan or Shahrukh Khan. Both being diplomatic and politically correct acted with dignity. SRK has tremendous respect for the Big B and said both of them cannot be compared. But the titans clashed everytime and wherever they clashed, there was an explosion. SRK performed brilliantly with the Big B, especially in the confrontation scenes of Mohabbatein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gam. Shahrukh Khan then did 3 things that Big B was known for-Don, Kaun Banega Crorepati and endorsements. SRK’s Don-The Chase Begins was technically slick and was a hit with the youngsters, which was exactly what he wanted.

Though most people said that SRK was no match for the chivalry and class which Big B had for Kaun Banega Crorepati, SRK fashioned KBC-3 in his own initimtable style. KBC-3 was more of a fun-show and had an air of informality that was trademark SRK. The result even KBC-3 was a success and the last episode featuring Katrina and Salman Khan had one of the maximum TRP ratings ever. SRK is now the highest earning ad-endorser. He has even taken over some of the ads which the Big B used to endorse.

Dilip Kumar: Early in his career, SRK was accused of copying Dilip Kumar. To clarify things, he did a movie that Dilip Kumar excelled in, Devdas . Critics and naysayrers said that SRK would never be a Dilip Kumar. SRK did not want be so anyway, he wanted to do the movie his way. The result Devdas was a huge hit and SRK won a lot of awards for his brilliant performance.
