Bollywood’s iconic actor Shah Rukh Khan turned a year older and is celebrating his 61st birthday today. On this special occasion, let us check out a few lesser-known facts of our dear King Khan…

Well, SRK’s first earning was just Rs 50 and that too he earned that amount for working as an usher at a Pankaj Udhas concert. He spent that amount for visiting Taj Mahal, Agra.

Well, it is all known that Deewana is the debut movie of SRK, but Hema Malini's directorial debut, Dil Aashna Hai was his first film on the sets. But it released later in December 1992.

And one more interesting fact about SRK is, initially he hesitated to accept classic blockbuster DDLJ as he was interested to go with an action-backdrop movie instead of this love tale.

Some of the speculations also state that he was offered Rancho’s role in 3 Idiots but he rejected the offer as he was busy with ‘My Name is Khan’ movie.

Shahrukh Khan has 226 nominations across popular Bollywood awards, and has won 207 of them.

Well, SRK and his son Aryan are hard core WWE Wrestling fans.

Happy Birthday King Khan… Do continue to entertain us with your amazing screen presence!
