In some northern provinces of India, the word ‘baazigar’ carries a unique meaning—derived from Persian roots, the word means ‘magician.’ The baazigar community has traditionally embraced magic as their profession. We usually think of magicians as illusionists—capturing audiences’ attention for only a fleeting moment. But in Bollywood, the king of all baazigars, Shah Rukh Khan, has been enchanting viewers for over three decades.
Shah Rukh Khan was one of the inaugural guests on Karan Johar's talk show “Koffee with Karan” in 2004 for the release of its first season. He then went on to make three appearances during that season. Nevertheless, the King of Bollywood has opted to skip the past three seasons including the latest eighth season.
