The year is 1991. First-time director Hema Malini
looks anxious on the sets of her directorial debut,
'Dil Aashna Hai'. The cause of her anxiety triggers
laughter as it is discovered that the lady, despite
employing all haircut methods on her boyish-looking
hero Shahrukh Khan, remains unsuccessful with his
unruly mop. Hema finally lets go of the boy and his
effervescent hair without a crop.
The film bungled at the box office. Was it due to
Khan's boisterous hair?
Today, in retrospect, it looks like it was his
disheveled hair, big nose, average height and
average looks that broke conventions to give birth
to a new-age star.
SRK's USP were his energy, fizz and 'dreamz
unlimited'. The boy just refuses to sit idle. Says
Juhi co-star and friend: ''Shahrukh went on even
when others stopped due to exhaustion. He breathes
films. He is down-to-earth, without an attitude. He
is very friendly and has a funny sense of humor''.
When Colonel Kapoor signed SRK for his serial on faujis,
he knew the potential of the bubbly youth but the
amazing career he would charter wasn't probably
envisaged.
After Fauji, a couple of more television
serials and Shahrukh joined the big league and gave
a smashing hit Deewana with the late Divya
Bharati. As compared to the superstars of
yesteryears, Shahrukh's ride up the ladder was
tougher. He had to face the rage of explosion of
information and technology while working towards
super-stardom. He was required to possess charisma
compelling enough to make people rise above the
zillion modes of entertainment and be his audience.
Shahrukh managed to captivate and the feat, by no
means, was easy.
From a boy-next-door to a saleable hero, from a hero
to a star, a superstar and finally a phenomenon,
though there is nothing concrete to show where his
prowess lay. He was plain and ordinary. It is very
difficult to place fingers on a reason that enabled
SRK reach where he is today. Probably his plainness
was his virtue. He was never an enigma. He was
guileless, without a benefactor to lead him around
by his fingers. His only weapon was his willingness
to work hard and professionalism.
An upfront attitude earned SRK some very valuable
friends in an industry otherwise dominated by
detractors and chamchas. Juhi, his co-star, close
pal and now his business partner for 'Dreamz
Unlimited' forms an integral part of the core group,
that has Aziz Mirza, whom SRK is very close to, Yash
Johar, Yash Chopra and their sons Karan and Aditya.
In a profession where commitment towards wives and
girlfriends take the backburner, SRK's devotion
towards wife Gauri has been lauded. He is probably
one of the rare actors who in their entire careers
did not have any romantic liaisons. One who remained
a buddy to men and women alike.
From a fauji to being SRK, the rise was epic. But a
downward slide is inevitable. Even SRK knows that.
Hence we see a production company already working
full swing. But the loss of stardom hurts. The cola
war bears ample evidence of that. Contrary to
popular belief, SRK is not jealous. He has achieved
far too much to envy the rise of new kids. He is
apprehensive of a besiege |
