Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul – Naam Toh Suna Hi Hoga: 34 Years Of SRK
On this day, 34 years back, the world was introduced to Raja Sahai – not Rahul. That would come a year later with Yash Chopra’s Darr. But what the 1992 Raj Kanwar film Deewana did was introduce Bollywood – and India – to Shah Rukh Khan on the big screen. And for 34 years, the man has managed to rule hearts, break records, reinvent himself and shape the very idea of romance in Hindi cinema. But have you ever stopped and wondered, interestingly, among the countless characters SRK has played, why do we keep on going back to Rahul? Arre, “Rahul, naam toh suna hi hoga.” Why is Shah Rukh Khan, always Rahul, never Raj?
