Shahrukh Khan
Will Sharukh Khan make films and play the main roll of the historical persons of his won nation(Pakhtoon) like Sheersha Suri, Ibrahim Lodi, Khoshal Khan Khatak, Mirwais Khan Hotaki, Ahmad Shah Abdali ? I hope he will do.

A few Questions
hi Shahrukh I have 2 questions: 1. Why not take this oppurtunity to clear the fuzz and problems that the media gives about you and Amitabh, Akhshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan. Because people believe what they hera from the media. This is your chance to make everything clear to your fans. 2. When are you planning to make a state of the art movie, like hollywood actors, for example movies without the weird boks/ gun voices and werid jumps from planes. To make movies look real. Thanks,

When God showers His blessings !
I have watched a few films which were supposedly an absolute flop,if SRK was not the lead actor & that what distanced him from the list of another budding stars to become KING KHAN.Having earned the name & fame plus massive amount of wealth by Indian standards,Are you contented & what would you contribute to the deprived / needy people in return of their love for you?

religion
salaam shahrukh, is religion in your agenda? do you sometimes ask yourself the question of " is what i'm doing pleasing ALLAH, will what i'm doing get me closer to Him and earn me the reward of entering his JANNAH"? may Allah choose you to inspire other to practice islam. inshallah.

Question for Shahrukh Khan
Riz, My name is Jawad and I live in northern Virginia. I am a well-wisher of Shahrukh Khan. First, let me tell you that your name is one of my favorite Persian names. Second, what do you think about the idea of South Asians youth working to build grassroots cultural bridge between South Asian peoples in an effort to love each other, celebrate our diversity, and to defend our interests around the world as a united voice. Thank you so much. Take special care. Jawad

Best wishes with Karans next.
Needless to say, you are a terrific actor. We would love to see you in more drama / serious roles like Chak de India, that bring out brilliant performances. As much as I love Karan Johar's movies, I feel that the ease of your relationship with him might be determintal to pushing you to the edge of your performance power, like what happened in KANK. I think the character Karan created for you there was just a little too contrived and was not believable as YOU. Best of luck on the next one!

SRK commercial influences.
SRK claims to be a 'non political entertainer'.With millions of fans worldwide, does he not acknowledge that some of his commercial adverts( skin lightening cream, alcohol may negatively influence the youth? SRK's gender sensitivity is a political statement and it does have some influence on the gender issues I also believe there are not enough Bollywood movies embracing all the religious groupings in India,( like the old hindi classics). Would SRK not consider r art house 'realism'films?

Shahrukh rule
Hello MR.Khan, We want to see you with Real KING OF BOLLYWOOD AMIR KHAN or AJAY DEVGAN. In my near media fully support you for current status while fully neglect to AJAY DEVGAN. He deserve much more than you.If you are real king, than just make one film with AJAY DEVGAN but your boths role must be equal.And timing also. Don't always go to some people those always praise you. YOU CAN'T BEAT TO AJAY DEVGAN YOU CAN'T BEAT TO AMIR KHAN. Allah Hafiz

Film with SRK and Amir Khan
Dear Shahrukh, can't you get the film rights for "Sacred Games" by Vikram Chandra? There are two leading roles in it, a cop, the deeper character, and a gangster, the more glamorous character. You and Amir could play either one. Best wishes, Ursula PS: I hope none of your family or friends got hurt in the awful terror attacks.

Shahrukh and Media
My contribution is just a piece of advice to SRK. I observed that media contributes so much to the problems he has with his colleagues in bollywood. I agreed that media contributes to his success in bollywood due to publicity given to him. At the same time, he needs to be careful in his statement during the interview especially on an issue that affects his proffession. I strongly believe that Shahrukh's success is from God. Almighty God crown his efforts, but not everybody sees it in that way

JODA AKBAR
shah rukh i loved you in veer zara and i believe it is such movies that set the pace in bollywood. however i was a tad dissappointed when you did not star in joda akbar, i havent watched it partly coz the lead role was taken by Roshan, but i feel you would have done greater justice to the role with your acting prowess and commanding on screen presence. and please give us more movies like Asoka, that can give Brad Pitt (read Troy) serious competition.

A few inquiries
Hi Mr Sharu! How u doing?. I hope you are as fit as a fiddle. After greeting I wanna 2 ask you a query. 1. Are u really a Muslim? If your answer is 'yes' why do you've to wear necklaces & ear rings when you're acting. Furthermore, even u wear T-shirts appearing the christain sign which is 'the plus' & if I remind you, you had worn it when you were in Dubai for the Temptation show together with other Bollywood stars including Preity, Rani, Priyanka, Saif & lastly Arjun Rampal.

Shahrukhs fan
Hi Riz, I am a 24 year old disabled girl. I just want you tell Shahrukh that I am his biggest fan and meeting or talking to him is my biggest wish in life. Riz, plz tell Shahrukh that meeting him is my only wish but I can't fulfill it cause I am on wheel chair and cannot go to his shows or stand in a crowd for him. But I still wish him all the love and success in life. Shahrukh is the only person I have ever prayed for other than my family. I think he is the perfect human being.

Questions for Shahrukh Khan
1. I have talked to some young Indians and they have said they are uncaring or uninterested in their culture, I'm not sure if this is true across the board, but I wonder how you would encourage young people to be actively interested in their culture? It's not all about religion but about tolerance, understading and learning to take a role in government to make changes they want to see in India's future. The same for young people all over the world. 2. When are you coming to Canada?

Sharukh Khan as Film Director?
Hi Sharukh Khan and Riz, My view of Hindish movies had changed since I had seen your performance in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and others. You do great work. You still have huge success among moroccan young population. My question, as you have more than 20 year career doing as actor and producer, why didn't you expect to direct a film? I wish you good look.
