#HappyBirthdayKingKhan: 5 things to learn from b'day boy SRK

The Khan of all seasons, Shah Rukh, turns 50 today. From acing negative roles to setting the bar high for romantic heroes, SRK has done it all. It’s no wonder that he is fabulous at fifty. On his birthday, we take a look at the five things that we can learn from him…read on:

Effortless charm:

We know that charm is a trait that can’t be learnt, but we hope to be as effortlessly charming as SRK too. Whether it’s the way he wooes his heroines on the big screen or his livewire persona on award shows, talk shoes and TV, the actor is indeed blessed. We wish to learn this from him. What about you guys?

Life above rumors:

He is a strong personality who doesn’t let rumors rule him. When he was bombarded with link-up tales with Priyanka Chopra, he took the high road of not discussing it. He has never openly talked about his equation with rival Salman Khan either. Perhaps knowing where to draw the line is what makes this actor a superstar.

Self-deprecating:

Many of his contemporaries might accuse him of being head-strong and immodest, but in reality, he is self-deprecation who brushes off his success as fate. He constantly makes fun of his non-dancing her non-performing ways, His rise to fame from almost nothing makes us dream big too. Thank you for the inspiration, SRK.

Hardworking and sincere:

He puts in insane amount of hours and energy into his work. He could very well throw his feet up and relax, but he doesn’t. He still treats his every new venture as his first. Isn’t that a great quality to emulate? You bet it is.

Respects women:

He loves and respects women like no other actor. He not only stands up for women rights, but also puts it into action. If you’ve seen his latest films, you’d notice that the actress’ name precedes his. Which other mainstream biggie has done that? Well, more power to you, Shah Rukh.

Happy birthday, SRK! Long live. Prosper. Be cool always.
