22 Unknown And Secret Facts About King Of Bollywood : SRK

Shah Rukh Khan’s debut flick, Deewana, hit the ­theatres 22 years ago. In fact, June 25 was the date when the film had released. A ­nostalgic SRK tweeted, saying, “All notions, creations and experiences of decades will end on the day of truth. I ­tirelessly work to ignore the inevitable. Thx for 22 yrs of O2 {sic}.”
The 48-year-old ­also ­confessed that he never ­really watched his debut film. "I have, till date, not seen Deewana. I have a notion that I don’t want to see my first or last creation. They are ­bookends, the story is between {sic}," he posted.
We take a look at more such spellbinding facts about the Padma Shri awardee, who has been ruling the roost for two decades.

9 Home, sweet home: One of the reasons why Shah Rukh bought Mannat — his palatial ­bungalow in Juhu, Mumbai, was that he wanted to have an ­exclusive prayer room. He’s been quoted as saying that if he was broke, he would sell everything but Mannat.
