King Khan-The best example of growth, progress and success. From ground till sky, this is how his life has changed. From a normal guy of a poor family to the “King Of Bollywood”. He is the living example of struggle. We may love him, admire him, but only he knows how much it took to reach the happy place he is at right now. He is the perfect example for the saying “Where there is will, there is a way”.
Here are some unheard things about our Badshaah which people should know.
