Shah Rukh Khan is a king. It may be from fate, or his hard work or through blessings of his late parents, but he is here to rule. He was destined to rule and rightly so. The actor rules millions of hearts, has been one of the highest paid actors of the world, has a global recognition, his name is a brand and he manifested all when he sang ‘Bus Itna Sa Khwaab Hai’ in Yes Boss. However, do you know that the actor was heartbroken when he was told that he would never become an actor?

During one of his interviews, SRK once revealed that he was told by actor Mehmood’s son Macky Ali that his looks are so bad that despite him being a great actor and dancer, he will never be able to make it to films. Shah Rukh was a theatre artist then, and he was heartbroken listening to this.

In an interaction with Priety Zinta in one of her shows, Shah Rukh Khan recalled, “Mehmood sahab, wo hamare bahit close the, Bangalore mein rehte the wo to hum unke neighbours the. To unke ladke the Macky. Unlog ke paas pehli baar video camera tha to unhone mujhe shoot kiya aur mera dil tod diya. Main theatre karta tha. To meri photo unhone li aur phir meri mummy ko kaha ki bahut accha acting karta hai ye aur naachta bhi accha hai. Sab kuch theek hai iska lekin dikhta bahut kharab hai to ye Hindi filmo mein kabhi hero nahi banega.”
