Mumbai: An old video showing Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan is circulating online. The video features SRK portraying a gay character.
Shah Rukh Khan, the reigning king of Hindi cinema, had a modest start. The actor began his journey with small roles, notably in ‘In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones’, a film penned by the author and activist Arundhati Roy.
The film follows the story of an idealistic student, Anand Grover/Annie (Arjun Raina), who would rather dream up utopian solutions to India’s problems than study. Even Arundhati, the bohemian Radha, was featured as Anand’s girlfriend. It also stars Roshan Seth, Rituraj Singh, and the four-time National Award winner Manoj Bajpayee, who play supporting characters, big and small.
‘In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones’, directed by Arundhati’s ex-husband Pradip Kishen, went on to win two National Awards, one for its screenplay, which went to Roy, and the other for the ‘Best Feature Film in English’ clinched by Pradip.
The film, released in 1989, showed the students’ lives in Delhi in the late 1970s.
SRK debuted with the popular TV serial ‘Fauji’ a year before this film. He then appeared in minor roles in TV serials, ‘Umeed’ and ‘Wagle Ki Duniya’ and later starred as a lead in Aziz Mirza’s ‘Circus’.

Today, SRK is one of the biggest movie stars in the world and also one of the richest, courtesy of his various businesses, such as his production house, Red Chillies Entertainment, and his IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders, which recently won the IPL title.
Meanwhile, on the work front, SRK will be next seen in the upcoming movie King, featuring his daughter Suhana Khan in her second role after the streaming disaster The Archies.
