Turning back to the time, during his initial days of career, when Shah Rukh used to get ignored by the industry people at parties and other events because of their ego that an outsider was making big in the world of Bollywood. They used to not like how SRK was being cast in one successful movie after the other but they forgot the fact that his talent and madness over becoming a superstar has what made him big. 

And there when the game started! From Deewana, Baazigar, Darr, Karan Arjun, DDLJ, Dil Se, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Baadshah, K3G, Devdas, Kal Ho Na Ho, Veer-Zaara, Swades, Chak De! India, My Name Is Khan, Don, Don 2, Ra. One, To Chennai Express, there were no films he gave his best of best and people were introduced to a different world of Entertainment where Shah Rukh Khan is the King and built a kingdom that can never be ruled by anyone else. (ALSO READ: From Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone To Rohit Saraf: These Bollywood Smiles Have The Power To Light Up The World)

However, like everyone else, even King had his bad time too. Several media portals, industry tribes and many netizens were harshly criticizing him for locking with various unsuccessful films. They said the king should leave his throne and let others get a chance, it is the end of his career, he should retire, he’s getting old as he is in his 50s, and whatnot. Numerous vicious comments were pouring in but no, yet, he chose silence over retort, letting his work speak volumes.

After a brief hiatus! He made a resounding comeback with 'Pathaan’, a film that shattered box office records and marked his triumphant return. Following this triumph, 'Jawan' became another feather in his cap, making him “The only Indian actor to have two 1000 crore films in a single year”. Socho? Abhi toh ‘Dunki’ bhi aani baaki hai, which is all set to release on 22 December 2023. Who knows? Maybe it might be a hat trick!

From getting ignored by the people, facing several trolls, criticism and ego from the ones who were getting jealous of his success… Cut to now! Almost everyone from inside and outside Bollywood started hailing for what he has given to the Indian film industry. There was no one in the industry who didn’t appreciate or congratulate him after the blockbuster hits of ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’ saying that King is king.
