Memoir of a Shah Rukh Khan fan

The arduous journey of Tamzid Islam Zarir, an ardent Shah Rukh Khan fan, reached its culmination this year during the SRK Day event on November 2. His story, as the current organising secretary of the devoted SRK fan club SRK Bangladesh CFC, gained significant attention earlier this month when he met the Bollywood icon alongside 400 to 450 other fans on the occasion of King Khan’s birthday.

Shah Rukh Khan likely to reprise iconic role in ‘Baazigar 2’

The Shah Rukh Khan starrer “Baazigar” which achieved cult status with its popularity, still resonates today. His portrayal of an anti-hero in the 1993 romantic thriller captivated audiences tremendously. Now, in an exciting turn, SRK is reportedly in discussions for “Baazigar 2”. Producer Ratan Jain recently confirmed that a sequel is definitely in the works.

20 years on, 'Veer-Zaara' still resonates across borders

Two decades ago, when Bollywood was still discovering cinema's transformative power, a film that forever redefined love for a generation came along. The legendary Yash Chopra’s "Veer-Zaara", released in 2004, is not just a love story set against the backdrop of political and cultural divides; it is a timeless saga and a poetic rendering of yearning, sacrifice, and boundless commitment. Back in the day, this classic story of a love between an Indian man and a Pakistani woman defied the limitations of mere romance and became an emotion in itself. After all these years, "Veer-Zaara" remains iconic, a film cherished for its artistry, music, and the undying love that it portrays.

‘Veer Zaara’ celebrates 20 years with global re-release, featuring iconic deleted song

Directed by the legendary Yash Chopra, the film follows the story of an Indian Air Force pilot, Veer Pratap Singh (Shah Rukh Khan), and a Pakistani woman, Zaara Hayaat Khan (Preity Zinta).

Birthday Special / How Shah Rukh Khan’s flawed characters make for authentic roles

In Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan is primarily synonymous with the romance genre. For decades, the star has brought unforgettable love stories to the silver screen. But while he is most celebrated for his iconic, idealistic roles, SRK’s most compelling performances actually come from his portrayals of flawed lovers—characters who reflect the messier, more nuanced realities of love. These are not heroes with all the answers; they are sometimes selfish, reckless, insecure, and even destructive. It is this raw imperfection that makes SRK’s on-screen romances feel so achingly real.

Birthday Special / ‘I call him the great magician’

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.
