Shahrukh Khan Birthday: Today, Shah Rukh Khan, known as the King of Bollywood, is celebrating his 60th birthday. His journey from the streets of Delhi to becoming the world’s biggest superstar is nothing short of a film story. But few people know the hard work and struggle Shah Rukh endured to reach this milestone. In his early days, he moved to Mumbai with just one dream, a dream he worked day and night to turn into reality.

First Film and a Friend Lie

Shah Rukh Khan friend and producer Vivek Vaswani recently revealed an old story. He said that when Shah Rukh arrived in Mumbai, he had no money or any contacts. He lived with Vivek. One day, he suddenly received a call from Hema Malini, who was looking for a new face for her directorial venture, “Dil Aashna Hai.” The two immediately rushed to her house and found Dharmendra sitting behind a newspaper. Shortly after, Hema Malini looked at Shah Rukh and remarked that he didn’t look like a lead actor.

The Lie That Changed His Destiny

Shah Rukh Khan could have been disappointed by Hema Malini’s response, but at that very moment, Vivek Vaswani stepped forward and said, “Rakesh Roshan and Ramesh Sippy have also signed him.” This was a complete lie, but Vivek’s single statement changed Shah Rukh’s fortune. Hema Malini believed him, and he got his first break in “Dil Aashna Hai.” This single lie launched the actor who would later become the heartthrob of millions.

You’ll be surprised to hear his first fee

Today, Shah Rukh Khan earns crores of rupees through films, but you’ll be shocked to hear his fee for his first film. Vivek Vaswani revealed that Shah Rukh Khan received only a few thousand rupees for his first film. At that time, this amount was nothing short of a treasure. This money became the beginning of his dreams. He never imagined that this small step would make him the King Khan of Bollywood.

From the streets of Mumbai to Mannat

Shah Rukh Khan’s journey to Mumbai was not easy. When he left Delhi for the city of dreams, he didn’t even have a home to live in. He slept at friends’ houses and went from studio to studio in search of work. But he never gave up. It was his confidence and hard work that took him from TV to films. Today, his home, ‘Mannat,’ is not just a house, but an embodiment of dreams.

Those old days are still remembered

Shahrukh often says in interviews that he never imagined he would become such a big star. He relied only on honesty and hard work. Perhaps this is why he hasn’t forgotten the struggles of his early days. Whether it was the heights of his films or the ups and downs of life, Shah Rukh always learned to smile and inspire others.

King Khan magic continues

Today, when Shah Rukh Khan comes to meet his fans on the balcony of Mannat on his 60th birthday, millions of people flock to see him. His smile is still the same as it was on the face of a new actor years ago, full of hope, hard work, and passion. His journey shows that dreams do come true if you truly believe in them.
