Facts you never knew about SRK
We will tell you facts about Shahrukh that everyone might not know. Here is a sneak peak into Shahrukh’s life
hudihudi(.)
com
- 2nd November 1965. In New Delhi's Talwar Nursing
Home, to parents Mir Taj Muhammad and Lateef Fatima, was
born a young boy. For the family, that lived in Rajinder
Nagar, a middle class locality in the national capital,
it was time to rejoice and celebrate the newly born.
|
- When he was just four years of age, Shah Rukh
happened to throw a rock at a neighborhood boy because
of which the latter's teeth broke. Late at night that
day, the child's father came to the house in an
inebriated state while wielding a knife. Shah Rukh's
father coolly opened the door and when this man
threatened to kill his son for what he had done, he
crosschecked with Shah Rukh as to whether or not he had
committed the act of mischief. When the child confessed,
the dad asked him to go out and explain himself to the
man who was not only drunk but also armed. Shah Rukh had
to go outside and apologize for his deed.
|
- Shah Rukh had won the Raman Subramanyam Award in
Class X (1982-83) for character, all round performance
in studies, sports and extra curricular activities and
the Sword of Honour in Class XII (1984-85) for the Best
all round performance, loyalty, obedience, integrity and
sportsmanship.
|
- The college where he studied was Delhi University's
Hans Raj College, and Shah Rukh did his Economics
Honours from the institution between 1985-88. When Hans
Raj celebrated its Golden Jubilee, the college gave away
17 shields to its alumni who had excelled in their lives
and professions and Shah Rukh was one of them.
|
- After graduating from Hans Raj, he went on to join
Jamia Milia Islamia's Mass Communications Research
Centre to do his masters in filmmaking and journalism.
|
- Shah Rukh had a solid theatre background and had
worked with an institution like Barry John in New Delhi.
|
- Shah Rukh was, in fact uncomfortably possessive
about his lady love (Gauri), whom he lovingly calls
Gaurima. So much so that he would pick up a quarrel with
her even if she let her hair down…literally. Finally,
Gauri lost her cool and without informing Shah Rukh,
came down to Bombay. Shah Rukh followed her to the huge
city and kept looking for her around the beaches because
of his awareness that she was attracted to them in a big
way. Later, a cab guy advised him to go to Aksa Beach
and Gorai Beach. After searching frantically, he managed
to track her down when she was standing in the water!
Isn’t that filmi?
- One of the reasons why Shah Rukh bought Mannat, his
palatial bungalow, was since he wanted to have an
exclusive prayer room. Shah Rukh says that if he were
broke, he will sell everything except Mannat
- Both the children, Aryan (13th November 1997) and
Suhana (23rd May 2000) have been taught to revere the
co-existence of Ganpati and Allah in the Khan household.
How wonderfully they are being brought up manifests
itself in the story that when Shah Rukh was having a
critical neck surgery, Aryan went to the temple and said
an Islamic prayer so that his father could get well
soon.
- Shahrukh Khan is a Muslim but celebrates Diwali and
Christmas along with Eid every year. He keeps a Lakshmi
Pooja every year in his office and at home. He even has
a Christmas tree at home. From all the festivals
Shahrukh’s kids love Christmas the most.
- Shahrukh Khan has the holy Quran Bismillah kept
along with the idols of Indian Gods at his place. His
kids pray to both the God’s simultaneously.
- Shahrukh Khan can be managed best only by his wife
as she understands him the most. She is the only person
who can command Shahrukh to do things. Infact
Shahrukhs’s daughter Suhana imitates Gauri Khan very
well by saying in a strict voice, “Shahrukh, eat your
food.”
- Shahrukh never asks anything for himself from God.
It is always his family and his close people he asks
for. But whenever he wants to ask for himself, he never
goes to a temple but goes to his parent’s grave. He
believes that whatever he will ask there will be
fulfilled and yes most of them have come true which
makes Shahrukh’s belief all the more strong.
- Shahrukh requires a lot of his own space for himself
and his near and dear ones understand that. Whenever
Shahrukh is angry, he needs to be left alone or you will
only make him angrier.
- Shahrukh loves watching movies in the darkness of
his car. He loves watching movies alone and peacefully.
- Shahrukh is a complete game freak. In fact he turns
everyone around him into a gaming freak. The latest game
that Shahrukh is playing is Smackdown versus Raw which
is a wrestling game. Shahrukh can’t wait to get his
hands on the new Play Station 3 as he is not an XBOX
fan.
- Shahrukh studied at St. Columbus School and he
believes that it is the best school in the whole world
not because he studied in it, but because he feels they
are very disciplined.
- Shahrukh still remembers his first fan who is a
lady. She was his fan even before he became a film star
or a famous televison star. She remembers him since his
theater days. She shouted Shahrukh’s name on the middle
of the road when she spotted him. Shahrukh still cannot
forget that moment.
- For Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Shah Rukh had taken
a signing amount of Rs 5,000 and did the entire film for
Rs. 25,000.
- Shah Rukh had signed a movie called Jadoo
co-starring Raveena Tandon, Anupam Kher & Navneet Nishan
to be directed by Pavan Kaul. But Shah Rukh refused to
kiss Navneet who was playing a vampish role. Shah Rukh
had promised himself that he would never kiss any
actress on-screen. And, he has stuck to this till today.
- Calcutta has a unique Shah Rukh Khan club that was
founded by a Khan admirer Arnab Roy on 13th December
1995 after the release of DDLJ. The club established its
own SRK museum in January 2002 and its members were
thrilled when Shah Rukh himself visited them on 7th
August 20.

SRK says...
On Marriage
It’s nice to be married. You know you come back
home from twenty thousand people who are
screaming and shouting for you and than you come
back to your wife… I think is a great leveler.
On Gauri
I was eighteen and she was fourteen when we met.
What I liked about her was that I didn’t find it
as difficult as I thought talking to a girl.
On Parents
My Father was very sweet, soft spoken man.
He was the youngest freedom fighter for India
actually. My mother was the opposite. She was
outgoing and had a very attractive personality.
She said I was like Dilip Kumar.
At Home
There are some unsaid rules. I will not make a
phone call once I'm in the house. So you'll
always see me making a phone call from the
bathroom….. I close the door and then talk
On Mumbai
I think it's the greatest city in the world.
It’s very important to my life and to me. I'll
always be thankful that Mumbai has given me a
family, and actually Mumbai has given me a life.
On Acting
For me, acting is very spiritual. It combines as
sorts of soulful, religious and spiritual things
that people do.
On time off
I don’t get excited going out but all my friends
make fun that I keep saying that but I shop the
most. I keep buying gadgets and stuff and I call
them my “utterly useless shopping”.
On fans photographing
The only time I find people invasive is when I
am eating. When I’m eating I don’t like people
looking at me.
On time
I think time passes by very, very fast. I don’t
ever have time to grow old. It’s so fast. I have
this feeling that I am running a few days late
in life.
Public persona
There has to be now a public face very clearly.
And that public face is always smiling. And I’m
tired. And I’m sometimes in a bad mood. But I
cannot pass that onto people. |
