In a show in 2014, Anupam Kher asked Shahrukh Khan do you ever bother thinking that who will have such fame and name after you?
Shahrukh smiled and replied, I am the last star of Bollywood.
Shahrukh meant to say that there will be no such big star after him. To some extent that is also true. In a film career spanning 30 years, Shahrukh gave many hits. Shahrukh, who is celebrating his 57th birthday today, is considered the third richest film star in the world. His net worth is more than 5100 crores.
Till now we have read about Shahrukh's life from where his struggle started in the TV serial Fauji. Today we will read about the life of Shahrukh, which starts in Delhi, not Mumbai. Not many people know that Shahrukh's mother Latif Fatima was a magistrate. She was one of the most successful Muslim women of her time. She was very much ahead in social work and had a close relationship with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. As high society as mother was, father Mir Taj was as much a grassroots person. He had come from Peshawar and used to sell tea in Delhi. An accident brought both of them together. been married. And then the story started of becoming a star named Shahrukh Khan.
So, aside from all the movie anecdotes, controversies, gossips, and hit-flops read the untold part of Shah Rukh Khan's life that few people know-
Father Mir Taj used to know many languages
Shahrukh Khan is called the King of Romance of the industry. However, he got this trick from his father Mir Taj Mohammad. Mir Taj, 6'2 in height, was a Pathan from Peshawar, one of the young freedom fighters of the freedom struggle. Mir Taj's sense of humor was excellent. He did M.A., and LL.B. had studied. He knew many languages including Persian, Sanskrit, Pashto, Punjabi, Hindi, and English. He was a lawyer, but after failing in his advocacy, he did the business of furniture business, transportation, and kerosene dealing. After the partition of India and Pakistan, Mir settled with the Taj family in Delhi, where he had a tea stall behind Willingen Hospital.
The film is the love story of Shahrukh's parents
One day Mir Taj went on a walk with his friends at India Gate, Delhi. He saw that a car accident had happened there. The car was lying upside down, containing Latif Fatima, his sisters, and his father. The driver had fled leaving the vehicle and all were lying in injured condition. Mir Taj straightened that car with the help of his friend. When there was a need for blood, Mir Taj himself gave blood when there was a blood group match. He became friends with his family and started traveling home.
One day Mir Taj reached Latif Fatima's house. His father asked- Will you marry our younger daughter? Mir Taj said - No, I will marry the elder sister, to whom I have given blood. Latif Fatima was engaged to cricketer Abbas Ali Baig at that time, breaking which she married Mir Taj. Mir Taj married 11 years younger Latif Fatima in 1959. A year later, a daughter was born in their house, and then in 1965, Shahrukh Khan.

Shahrukh's dream was to make a career in sports. However, doctors advised him to stay away from sports.
When the focus shifted from sports, Shahrukh started giving more importance to play than studies while studying Economics at Hansraj College. Shahrukh learned acting from Barry John in the Delhi Theater Group. Further, Shahrukh enrolled in Jamia Millia Islamia to take a master's degree in mass communication, but to pursue an acting career, he left his studies and took admitted to the National School of Drama.
Last memory with dad: A vanilla ice cream
Shahrukh's father used to run a small tea shop behind Willingen Hospital in Delhi. Father Mir Taj Mohammad died of cancer in the year 1981, but Shahrukh did not even see his face for the last time. He had a long treatment in the hospital. When his health improved, he was sent home.
One night Shahrukh's father asked him for vanilla ice cream. Shahrukh also ate ice cream while sitting with his father. After this, on the night of 18 October, the mother woke up Shahrukh and said that the father was in the hospital. Shahrukh went, but he was so sad that his father's face could not be seen from him. He saw his father's feet which had become cold. Shahrukh's last memory with his father was the vanilla ice cream they ate together.
While troubling the dying mother, said - I will become an alcoholic

He was praying for his mother while sitting in the parking lot of the hospital. When the doctor, who had prayed more than 100 times, reached Shahrukh, he said that now Shahrukh should meet his mother for the last time. Shahrukh told in Anupam Kher's show Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai that they did not want to go because they felt that if they kept praying, my mother would be saved. When the sisters said a lot, I had to go to meet them.
Shahrukh used to believe that a person leaves the world only when he is completely satisfied. In this situation, Shahrukh started harassing his mother. They thought that if they talk against their mother, they will remain alive. He told the mother, if you go away then I will not take care of my sister.
I will not study and will not work. I will start drinking and will drink so much that I become an alcoholic. Shahrukh was apprehensive that the mother would be alive after hearing all this, but it did not happen. Perhaps she knew that Shah Rukh would fulfill his responsibilities as well as he did.
