Shah Rukh Khan

SRK took up the responsibility of his elder sister — Shehnaz Lala Rukh, when she slipped into depression after their parents’ deaths. She is his world and he makes certain that his usually shy sister is around him always.

“She is my only connection to my parents. I see my father and mother in her. I keep telling Shehnaz – ‘You're just like mummy’. Even she has fits of anger, like my mother. She was extremely affected by our father's death. I was younger, so I think I got over dad's death sooner. By the time she accepted our dad's absence, our mother died. She went through a bad phase. She clammed up. Earlier, she was an outgoing girl, but now she has become silent. I still look up to her,” said Shah Rukh in an interview.

An affectionate husband, an adorable father and a doting brother – give this man any role and he plays it to perfection.
