MUMBAI: Shah Rukh Khan, also known as SRK, is the most popular actor in the Hindi Film Industry. Often referred as “King Khan” and "Baadshah of Bollywood", he has appeared in over 80 Bollywood films. He married Gauri Khan in 1991 and has three children, son Aryan Khan, son AbRam, and daughter Suhana.

Before making it big in the entertainment industry, he had his fair share of struggles. SRK revealed crying for hours due to the failure of Ra.One and when his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders lost matches.

SRK kickstarted his career with the TV series Dil Dariya. The actor became a household name with Fauji. Later, he worked in shows like Wagle Ki Duniya, Circus, and more. He made his big-screen debut with Deewana, followed by a number of blockbuster films.

Back in 2012, Shah Rukh Khan in an interview spoke about crying for hours due to negative comments about his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders, and Ra.One’s failure. He said, "I did go a little wrong with Ra.One. It made 172 crores at the box office but still, people call it the wrong film. It went wrong because it was different. I was depressed for three months after the release of the film."

Shah Rukh Khan added, “My family told me to sell Kolkata Knight Riders. They said it was only bringing in negativity. But I needed to win that trophy. That’s why I didn’t quit. I’m glad I didn’t. I have finally won. The world at large lynched me year after year for four consecutive years.”

When asked how negativity affected him, he said that he cried himself to bed. The negativity around him made him sit in the bathroom and cry for hours. He didn’t cry because his team was losing matches. He cried because of the comments about him the next morning.

Recently, Suhana Khan and AbRam Khan turned cheerleaders for Kolkata Knight Riders. The star kids were snapped sitting in the stands, dressed in KKR's jersey. 

Last month, Shah Rukh Khan took the internet by storm after unveiling his look for his upcoming film Pathaan. In the picture, King Khan can be seen showing off his six-pack abs, giving his fans major fitness goals. Apart from SRK and Deepika, the film also stars John Abraham.
