Mohar Basu's book on Shah Rukh Khan is a celebration of the actor's larger-than-life impact on his viewers and fans
SHAH RUKH KHAN Legend, Icon, Star
By Mohar Basu HARPERCOLLINS
₹599; 308 pages
An unnamed male model, insecure about his body, bought a gold shimmery shirt similar to the one Shah Rukh Khan wore in the song "Tumse Milke Dil Ka' in Main Hoon Na. On days when he's feeling "out of sorts" with his body and the world at large, he wears the shirt and watches the film. Pinky Dube, a 40-something house-help from Patna, keeps hoping to discover traces of Raj from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in her carpenter husband. She tells her daughter, "Aadmi aisa khojna jo tumhari izzat karey [find a man who respects you."
