JAB TAK HAI JAAN , BADSHAH , MERI JAAN MEIN TUMHAARI THODISI JAAN BHI RAHEGI .... ( I WILL NEVER STOP BEING GRATEFUL TO SHAH RUKH ).... By Ali Peter John

I had first seen him in serials like "Fauji" and "Circus " and had taken bets with some friends that he would be a big name as an actor in films , but he has not only made it big , but has changed the meaning of the word big - Ali Peter John

He was looking lost at the domestic airport and was looking for the address of Aziz Mirza who together with his brother Saeed Mirza had directed him in ""Circus"" .

He had come from Delhi and knew nothing about Bombay , but within no time he was confident and daring enough to challenge Bombay and tell Bombay that he would conquer it one day . And within no time , he had not only won over Bombay , but the whole of Hindustan and even almost the entire world

I kept meeting him off and on ( I have never believed in spending more time than is necessary with stars and even upcoming stars ).

He had noticed my being a private person even though I was dealing with celebrities and stars and once when some of my seniors met him to ask him to perform at the Screen Awards show , he told them , " this Ali Sahab is a strange man , he meets me once and then vanishes for several months and then comes back to life like a miracle"

The bets I had taken with my friends gradually came true and Shah Rukh Khan , the unknown boy from Delhi stood tall as a genius of a giant among actors .

His rise was phenomenal and unbelievable . He was known as the Badshah , the king , the king of romance and the life of love . He was the king in public and in private.

He had built his "Mannat" and Mannat led to his having his "palace" in Dubai and a palatial house in London and he was the man behind the KKR IPL team , he was the man behind Red Chillies Entertainment and the man behind a number of charitable trusts and organisations .

He had offices with thousands of people working with him and under his directions . He was the man who kings , queens , presidents , prime ministers , holy man , philosophers , scholars , scientists , saints and even sinners wanted to be seen with . He had reached the pinnacle of success and not even the failure of some of his films could make a dent to his image as the Badshah .

But on October 8 2021 a kind of scary lightning fell on him with his son Aryan being accused with possessing and even consuming drugs.

Any other father would have made a hue and cry about the incident , but the Badshah maintained a quiet dignity which was admired even by his worst rivals and critics.

He seemed to know that he and his son were on the right track and they finally emerged triumphant .

SRK could have celebrated his success , especially his success in maintaining his image as the Badshah who couldn't be on the wrong side of the law .

He has still not said a word about the controversy and will soon get back to work on "Pathan" , a prestigious film for him and will start work on Atlee's film , he is also looking at other scripts and he seems to know very well that the same people who have adored him are also looking forward to see him slip or fall .

I have just seen what and astrologer has said about his future and what he has said is not very bright or flattering for a "king" .

But with the flood of prayers and blessings for him coming from different parts of the world , there is no chance of any more dark clouds hovering over him or his family ....

There are people who have a feeling that I go out of my way to praise Shah Rukh . But how can I explain what my heart and my entire existence feels about Shah Rukh ? Life would not have been life for me after November 19 , 2016 if Shah Rukh had not come in to make that big difference between life and death for me .

I don't have to repeat the story about how Shah Rukh saved me and my dignity when he paid for all the expenses when I was at the Nanavati Hospital after that gruesome accident .

I firmly believe that my life as it is today is largely because of the large heart that a king like Shah Rukh Khan has and will always have .

I am told that Shah Rukh feels embarrassed when I express my gratitude to him , but what can I do ? I am a grateful man , a feeling that was instilled in me by my mother seventy one years ago .

I smile whenever I see ShahRukh spreading the joy of life , sometimes even when he is in pain . But I know that as long as he keeps smiling in the face of darkness , the light will always shine on him and the clouds of darkness will keep as far way from him as possible .

JEEYO , JEEYO BADSHAH , TUMKO KOI TAAQAT ROKH NAHI SAKTI KYONKI TUM WOH TAAQAT HO JO KHUDAH KISI KISI KO HI DETA HAI
