SRK

The second name of success 'Shah Rukh Khan' . It is very easy to rule the established empire , but it is really a tough job to establish your own empire . 'Asoka' on film screen is a real Asoka in his life too. As we have heard of the proverb 'If you are born poor , its not your mistake , but if you die poor then certainly its your mistake.' SRK is the best fit motivation who proves 'Nothing is impossible in life .' That's why we are presenting SRK on CreatingHopes.in

SRK was born in 1965 to Muslim parents in New Delhi, India. Taj Mohammed khan , his father , was an Indian independence activist from Peshawar . According to SRK , his paternal grandfather was originally from Afghanistan.

       

Yet the family was middle - class , but dreams were not small . From childhood , SRK always believe in 'Where there is a will , there is a way.' He was a brilliant student and an all rounder.

   

     

 At St. Columba's School he won the prestigious 'Sword of Honour'. He was also the captain of his football, hockey and cricket teams all at the same time.

He started off his acting career from the Television shows . Both of these , Fauji and Circus , were the biggest hits of television at that time . In his starting years of acting , he always accepted what anybody else rejected .

“I signed films for the fear of poverty more than creative desire. Most of my initial films were discards of other actors. Deewana [1992] was discarded by an actor called Armaan Kohli, Baazigar [1993] by Salman Khan and Darr [1993] by Aamir Khan. I did them all to avoid unemployment. The time was right — I became a star,” he said in an interview published in The Express Tribune, September 30^th, 2013.

He even did anchoring at several events , hosted several award functions , danced in several parties of rich persons , did endorsements , did motivational speaking in India as well in several other countries , that made him 'What he is today .'

 In 2008, Newsweek named him one of the 50 most powerful people in the world.
 In 2011, the Los Angeles Times called SRK "the world's biggest movie star."

Wealth-X's Hollywood and Bollywood Rich List released  in year 2014 puts comedian Jerry Seinfeld right on top of the rich list. With an estimated net worth of $820 million, the 60-year-old comedian emerged as the wealthiest actor.



However, it was Shah Rukh Khan, who was the only Indian actor in the top 10 combined rich list of Bollywood and Hollywood stars. Khan was found to be richer than Hollywood giants like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood or Adam Sandler.
