Who says birthdays are just a reminder of your growing age? Well, for King Khan it is a reminder of all his glorious years in the film industry. As SRK celebrates his 50th today, not just Bollywood but people from across the country including his friends and fans have bombarded his social networking accounts and all his fan club pages with heart-melting, warm and emotional birthday wishes.
On his birthday, let us take a take a look on what makes him the Badshah of Bollywood and the King of hearts:
King of Romance: His signature open arms inviting for a love laced hug can make any girl or women in the world go crazy for him. From Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge to Happy New Year he is the quintessential lover boy on the silver screen and makes him the top choice for every director when they think of making a romantic film.

The staunch supporter of feminism: Apart from his chocolaty charm and romance filled deep brown eyes, a lot of women also fall for his unabashed support for feminism. Shah Rukh had vowed in 2013 that in each of his film the name of his female co-star will appear before his and he took his pledge a step further by featuring in an ad for Tata Tea advocating the same. You never forget to make women feel special.
Prince charming for his leading ladies: Do you know the secret behind his ‘much in love’ chemistry with his leading ladies on screen? Well, not just on screen, the man is a wonderful co-star to his heroines on the film sets. Kajol, Kareena, Juhi, Deepika Padukone…the list is too long to be mentioned here but all of them are all in praise for his encouragement and support as a co-star.
World’s second richest entertainer: If there are people who can write the story of his success by giving credit to their hard work and not to any Godfather or Godmother, SRK is definitely one amongst those. He started his career with several appearances in television series in the late 1980s and made his Bollywood debut with Deewana in 1992. From just one release like Badshah in 1999 to his resurgence over 2004-2009 which had put him in the league of top entertainers, Shah Rukh’s journey to success has not been very hunky-dory but rather a bumpy one. According to the Wealth-X’s Hollywood and Bollywood Rich List published in May 2014, Shah Rukh was named the second richest actor in the world after comedian Jerry Seinfield. There you are Shah Rukh, you have emerged victorious!
Shah Rukh the poser: Being the matinee idol, SRK has posed for the camera on multiple occasions, but King Khan gave a wonderful surprise to all his fans by featuring on the latest issue of Vogue Magazine. His super-hot poster with Victoria Secret’s model Shanina Shaik is definitely a visual treat for his fans and the magazine aptly captioned the photograph as ‘Happy birthday Mr. Khan, Sexy, witty and unstoppable at 50’.
Shah Rukh and his frank opinions: Apart from a superb actor, Shah Rukh is also known as much for his wits, humour and frank opinions. In yet another occasion, SRK said that there is indeed widespread intolerance in the country and he would not hesitate in giving up his awards, if asked to.
With all these and much more Shah Rukh truly deserves the King Khan title and we wish you loads of happiness, luck, good health and many more years of stardom on your birthday!
