Shah Rukh Khan – How Well Do You Know Your Hero?

To have someone to look up to, a hero, according to me is one of the best fortunes of this life. We look up to that person, follow him, try to imitate him and most importantly try to emulate his life. Of course it is so much more easier to do it, when your hero himself, has led a life worth following.

Shah Rukh Khan, what do I say about him that I have not said already. The best moments of my life have been because of the love and respect that I have for him. And that is not just limited to his work in the entertainment field. Shah Rukh Khan has led an extremely fulfilling life till now. I tried listing down his achievements and awards, that he has received over the years, and I realised that it is impossible to fit all of that in one article.

However, I have tried. This is the reason why I respect the man so much. This is what needs to be followed. This is the reason why he inspires so many millions of people every single day.
