From Shah rukh Khan to King Khan




Shah rukh Khan lived in a rented apartment in India with his parents and older sister. His father had several business ventures including a restaurant. He was excellent in studies and amazing in sports like hockey and football. When he was asked about his career goals, he replied saying that he wanted to be a Bollywood actor. His classmates laughed at him and his teacher tried to explain to him that his dream is unrealistic and hardly possible and that it's better to give up. He began studying for a master's degree in mass communication, but left to pursue his acting career. Unfortunately, his parents died. And his older sister fell into a deep depression, so Khan took on the responsibility of taking care of her.


One of the toughest periods of his life began and it was when he moved to Mumbai to achieve his dream of becoming an actor. He was struggling with poverty and failures and was even homeless.


He slept on the roads, were thrown out of his house as he couldn't pay the rent.

As a way to survive in the big city and overcome poverty, he started taking movie roles that were rejected by other stars. In the early days of his career, one director told him that he was extremely ugly and not a hero type. But nothing could discourage him. He was just nobody and had nothing to loose and had everything to win so he gave the industry everything he had.


In 1992 he got the role of the second male lead in the movie "Deewana". He was cast as a replacement and agreed to do the role for a small amount of money. He even took the job of selling tickets for the movie at the movie theater. And that year, his patience, hardships and struggles finally paid off when he won his first Filmfare for the best male debut.


His hard work and dedication made him one of the best, biggest and most successful superstars in Bollywood. He started to build his success from zero and today shah rukh Khan is the richest Bollywood actor and one of the richest actors in the world. He is also a humanitarian with amazing heart and was honored by UNESCO for his charity. He has one of the best motivational success stories out there.


The inspiring story of the boy who struggled with poverty, was homeless and slept on the streets became of the wealthiest and most successful people in the world who will motivate us to never give up.
