For them, Khan symbolised a radically different man from the real-life men surrounding them. Fangirls would complain about the stalker-sexist roles Khan portrayed in the early part of his filmography but adored him for the love he expressed for women in iconic dialogues and public lectures. One fan, who kept an SRK journal, said her favourite was a 2015 quote where Khan said, ‘I would like to tell the ladies: Don’t give up your day job for a night husband!’ She read quotes like these each time she felt rejected by the job market or marriage market.

In fact, with the proliferation of satellite TV and the internet, female fans had memorised media interactions where the actor offered life lessons and advocated progressive views on gender struggles.
Instead, they saw him as the ideal man - wise, witty, successful, and wildly sexy. Fans refused to reduce him to his religious identity. What does Shah Rukh mean to them? None of these women articulated Khan as a symbol of India’s syncretic secular spirit his religion was scarcely mentioned. In seeking livelihoods of their own, these women are part of a meagre minority in a country with one of the lowest female employment rates in the world. Nearly all these women were the first in their conservative families to take up jobs outside the home. Since Khan is usually represented as a hero for NRIs and elite urbane Indians, in my book, I spent 15 years mapping the journeys of fangirls from India’s low-income precariat and the new middle class - tribal domestic workers to in-flight attendants.
This is the power of Khan he tells our stories. Through nearly three decades of scenes, songs and media interactions, he has become shorthand for an idea of India many of us are trying to rescue or hold on to.
If you read these posts and pieces closely, you will realise the writer is not really writing about Khan. Between hot-takes, nostalgic tweets and high-minded op-eds, every Indian seems to have a story to tell about the actor. AbRam had spent a considerable amount of period in the hospital after his birth.BY INVITATION Shrayana Bhattacharya Recent events have unleashed endless commentary on the remarkable icon of Shah Rukh Khan. AbRam Khan started to hit the headlines right after he was born in 2013, as he came into the world “prematurely” at 34 weeks rather than the common 40-week mark. Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan had agreed to have their third child, AbRam Khan through surrogacy. Shah Rukh said: “Even now when you just say hello to him, he instantly replies with ‘but I didn’t even have a European driving license’.”įraming and his son isn't a new happening. Khan had also shared that his family members were very disturbed and that his oldest son Aryan khan was quite shaken up by the rumours at the age of 19.
It was claimed online that he was the love child of our first child who was 15-years-old at the time.” Shah Rukh further added that whoever let that rumour out, attempted to aid their claim with a “fake video” of Aryan Khan driving around Europe. He explained, in the talk: “Four years ago, my wife Gauri and I decided to have a third child. However, in a TedEx talk in 2017, Shah Rukh Khan responded to the rumours of Aryan Khan’s ‘being AbRam Khan’s father’.
