The young boy who came to Mumbai from Delhi with nothing but a bag full of dreams is said to have declared to his friend that, "One day, I am going to rule this city". It so happened, that the dreams came true. He got it all - fame, fortune, adoration, fans, love, and a most loving family. Today, even after decades of stardom, Shahrukh Khan is still very much the badshaah of Bollywood.
However, at the end of the day, even the most dazzling star is a human being with all capabilities of experiencing the sorrows and joys that life has to offer. As far as we can see, SRK had a trying year in 2012 working on his dream project Jab Tak Hain Jaan which was supposedly his father-figure Yash Chopra's last directorial and which ironically became so in the true sense of the word. Did this shatter SRK more than we fathomed?
What is it that has apparently brought this otherwise full-of-life badshaah down in the dumps? Is it the smoking that is taking a toll on him? Or is he overworked? Well, with the stardom also comes the horrific invasion of privacy. Are the rumors around him and a certain actress affecting him?
While we ponder over the numerous reasons, only friends and family would know the actual story behind the haggard looking SRK. For all you know, it may be a simple case of flu!
