A Very 'Sweet Book' According to Superstar Khan
By Sumita Sheth

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan recently revealed that he has been working on an autobiography since the making of Duplicate in 1998.

Who is Shah Rukh Khan you may ask. He is only the actor who despite his 39 years was picked as MTV India's youth icon for 2005. He is the biggest star of Bollywood's current generation. Whether it be "Veer Zaara" that just won the most awards at the IIFA (International Indian Film Academy) in Amsterdam, the longest-playing movie "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" which is now in the Guinness Book of World Records or "Devdas" the most expensive Indian movie ever to be made when it was released in 2002, this Khan reigns over Bollywood and his fans' hearts.

Shah Rukh Khan is said to have completed 7 chapters for his book and is very sincere about wanting to have it published. Khan tells his fans to expect a "sweet book", written from his heart which will tell of his arrival in Mumbai to work in Bollywood, his efforts to succeed in the industry and ending with the completion of his family with one son and one daughter. He warns his fans not to necessarily expect great writing. Knowing his fans worldwide however, good writing or not, there will be much clamoring after anything he offers that may provide a closer link to him and his thoughts.

Incidentally, it seems there is also a biography by Anupama Chopra in the works.
