From empty pockets to Bollywood King: Shah Rukh at 59 remains evergreen

“Agar kisi chiz ko dil se chaho toh puri kayenat use tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.”

The meaning of this popular line in Hindi is that if your desire for something is intense, the whole universe will try to connect you with it.

It doesn’t take long to realize whose voice this popular line belongs to.

Yes, we are talking about the person who has maintained his dominance in Bollywood for the last three decades, whose glimpse sends millions of fans into a frenzy, whose performances from the 90s still resonate in everyone’s eyes, and whose open arms have won over the entire film world; he is none other than Bollywood's King, the global superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

From film releases to live performances, from birthday celebrations to everything else, there’s a royal essence about him.

After Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, and Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan’s name shines brightly in Bollywood.

After losing his mother, he came to Mumbai in the 90s with empty hands. At that time, he had no money for food or rent. His friends would pay for those expenses.

He once told his friend: “One day, I will rule Mumbai.” And today, he is the “King Khan” of the entire film world.

Saturday marks Shah Rukh Khan's 59th birthday. Known as the King of Romance, the Bollywood King has crossed 58 springs of life.

Even after spending so much time in Bollywood, he remains evergreen.

From “Baazigar to Baadshah, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, Veer-Zaara, Dilwale, Don, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Happy New Year, and My Name Is Khan,” he has delivered timeless blockbuster films.

The entire Bollywood bows before his performances.

After three decades, he continues to dominate Bollywood. His most recent films “Jawan,” “Pathaan,” and “Dunki” have once again proven that he is the best.

These films have broken all previous records in Bollywood and reached unprecedented heights.

The Shah Rukh who still causes a storm in the hearts of women of all ages whenever he smiles or opens his arms, has now stepped into 59.

A royal celebration has been arranged for the “Bollywood King” on his 59th birthday. On Saturday, for Shah Rukh's birthday, his residence “Mannat” will be lit up with sparkling lights. His wife Gauri Khan is in charge of the event.

This event will also formally announce Shah Rukh's upcoming film “King Khan.”
