Growing up in the era of Shah Rukh Khan has its own perks, plus growing up as a passionate romantic is one of them. SRK as Raj and Rahul made us believe in love. His natural, dimpled smile did melt millions of hearts but it was the twinkle in his eyes that gave strength to every dreamer. Undeniably, growing up as a fan of Shah Rukh Khan has its own aura.

Unquestionably, SRK has raised the bar by doing films like ‘Darr’, ‘Anjaam’, ‘Dil Se’, ‘Swades’, ‘Chak De! India’ and ‘My Name Is Khan’. In fact, he is indeed the best man who taught every dreamer about how to love and live life unknowingly.

Millions of fans have found inspiration in his struggle, his words and actions, more than his movies. The thing that makes him poles apart from the rest of the Bollywood fraternity is his ambition and his willingness to accept that. He struggled hard to achieve this position, stardom and fame and thus, never shied away from accepting it. He was one dreamer who fulfilled everything he ever wanted becoming the ‘hero’ of all the fellow dreamers.

As Shah Rukh Khan turns a year older, we bring to you some reasons, why he is the perfect role model for youth –

Self-made Superstar – During his early days of struggle, SRK used to borrow money from his friends to travel to film city and now he is now world’s second richest actor without any godfather or a starry name in his family.

A complete family man – We all know about Shah Rukh and Gauri’s love story. SRK married the love of his life and he still remains one of the few in industry. Infact, he takes break from his busy schedule to spend some quality time with his family. That’s the quality, which makes him a complete family man.

Philanthropist – Shah Rukh Khan does several charity works without any show off or hammering in what he does for others. In fact, SRK has won UNESCO’s prestigious ‘Pyramide con Marni Award’ for his work and contributions. He is the only Indian to get this accolade.

Feminist – SRK has never held back when it comes to discussing the parity in treatment of male and female actors in the industry. Infact, the actor doesn’t brush it under a rug, and unlike many of his contemporaries – doesn’t deny the fact that gender biases exist. SRK is among the pitifully little in Bollywood who’ve made a declaration and stuck to it. In 2013, King Khan made an exceptional and gasp worthy move in a pretty sexist industry when he said that in every one of his movies, the female lead’s name would come out before his own in the credit roll. Infact, Shah Rukh even appeared in an advertisement (for Tata tea) where the actor made this announcement – a beautiful and thoughtful campaign if ever there was one – and followed it up with Chennai Express, where Deepika Padukone’s name appeared before his own. Since, every Shah Rukh Khan movie has struck true and firm to his word.

Acting – Shah Rukh Khan has revolutionized the definition of mainstream actor or “hero” by being literally opposite, the anti-hero or the antagonist and yet shining in the role. Despite the fact that he has been into the whole starry trappy things, whenever he has acted actually, he has been nothing less than spectacular. In fact, SRK has raised the standards with his magnificent performance in Darr, Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Swades, My Name Is Khan, Chak De India.
