Shahrukh Khan as a global icon, has spread his magic everywhere, be it the theaters of India or abroad. He acknowledged and savored the surreal space he was in but he also remained detached and keenly aware of his popularity. His intense passions, frenzied screams, and the manic dance of flashbulbs were silent. Shah Rukh understood well that his praise came with an expiration date. He knew that when viewers tired of his charm, they would subscribe to a new myth. But his sensationalism and charm would never die; he created an era in Bollywood that is eternal.
