Shah Rukh Khan - Release Date December 22, 2025

Shah Rukh Khan: The Star, The Icon, The Legend is a heartfelt tribute to one of the most beloved and influential figures in global cinema. Written by Mohar Basu, the book goes beyond the glitz of Shah Rukh Khan’s superstar persona to explore the deeper emotional connection he shares with fans across continents. From iconic roles like Rahul Raichand, Raj Malhotra, and Rizwan Khan to his off-screen humility and charisma, Khan has become a symbol of hope, love, and resilience for millions—from a taxi driver in Paris to families in Pakistan and fans across Europe, Asia, the US, and the Middle East. This compendium of intimate stories, fan accounts, and rare photographs captures the essence of a man who has ruled hearts for decades. Mohar Basu, Chief Entertainment Correspondent at Mid-Day, brings her journalistic depth to this portrait. Known for her incisive coverage of Bollywood’s inner workings—from censorship and cross-border bans to the culture of harassment—Basu has helped shape industry reforms and was honored in 2024 by the Indian Achiever’s Club in their ‘40 under 40’ list. Her writing reflects both admiration and critical insight, making this book a must-read for every Shah Rukh Khan admirer.
