SHAH RUKH KHAN: Legend, Icon, Star
Par šo e-grāmatu
AS A SUPERSTAR WHO LIVES HIS LIFE in the glare of cameras and headlines, much has been written about Shah Rukh Khan-his passion, his craft, his humility and the love he spreads around. But beyond the films, the news and the star persona is a man who has come to mean many different things to his ever-growing legion of fans.
Whether as Rahul Raichand or Raj Malhotra, Mohan Bhargava or Rizwan Khan, Aman Mathur or Kabir Khan, the many roles that 'King Khan' has embraced for his films have become forever etched in the minds of countless moviegoers. This book presents portraits of the star's inspirational life and unearths what he means to people in every corner of the world-be it a taxi driver in Paris, an Irishwoman in London, three generations of women in a family in Pakistan or screaming fans across Europe, Asia, the US, the Middle East and, of course, India.
As much a paean to Shah Rukh's career as a tribute to the actor himself, this book is a dream compendium of intimate stories, fan accounts and never-before-seen photographs of the man who rules the hearts of more than half the world's people-the star, the icon, the legend, SHAH RUKH KHAN.
