SRK *IS* the nephew of Dilip Kumar!!!
ANWAR SADAT
Guys, sorry to bring this up once again. This is the last time I'm
gonna say this (cross my heart): Shah Rukh *is* the nephew of Dilip
Kumar. For some reason, people have a tough time understanding this, and
everyone keeps on saying, "No, Ayub Khan is the nephew of Dilip Kumar!"
Are you only allowed to have one nephew? :) Of course not. Yes, Ayub
Khan is the nephew of Dilip, but so is SRK. So why is this not a
well-known fact? Why did SRK still have to struggle HIMSELF to get to
the top? Well, the second question is answered by the first. He did not
become popular because he is related to Dilip because it is not a
well-known fact that he is a nephew of Dilip. So even the Aamir fans
cannot in good conscience deny that SRK struggled to success. After
being the top in t.v. dramas, he is now the top in cinema also. In fact,
he is one of the extremely few who has been successful in the transition
from the small screen to the big screen. And as someone else pointed
out, Shah Rukh did not have a "godfather" helping him out. Shah Rukh
literally went around begging for roles (just like Anil Kapoor once
did). So if today he is sometimes considered to be arrogant, so what..?
He is in a position to be arrogant. The poor guy lost his father when he
was
only about 7 yrs. old. Then his mother died when he was around 25 (which
is still a relatively young age). She didn't even live to see him become
a film star. Raja Ban Gaya Gentleman came after Shah Rukh's mom's death.
So after all that struggling, it's bound to take a toll on a person. If
he is proud of his acting and his accomplishments, all the more power to
him. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Moreover, Shah Rukh really is not a bad person as his critics may try
to make him look. I have met him in real life, so I know this. I'm not
gonna say that he was the friendliest of actors, but he wasn't arrogant
either. In fact, he's the most casual guy I've met. As much as his
critics may try to put him down, he really doesn't care. He doesn't care
much about his looks, nor does he try to act like a "star." If I didn't
know that I was going to be meeting Shah Rukh Khan, I may have just
walked by him. He is extremely casual, and he doesn't care to have a
fuss made about him. When his security guards became a little too
aggressive with some surrounding fans, Shah Rukh told the guards to not
be tough with the fans.
Anyways, I've gotten off topic.... 'Nuff for now!

Well, you're not out of line to ask me to quote something to verify
that Shah Rukh is Dilip's nephew, but I don't have any source to quote
from. If I ever do come across something, though, I'll post it for you.

Ok, Anwar, you said it. But can you quote the source? I also read those
interviews given by SRK and have no such knowledge. This has nothing to do
with Aamir or SRK being better (for me! ... for this particular topic). So
let's have the source of your info, that SRK is DilipK's nephew aur phir
baat kareNge, ok! Just saying that he *is* doesn't really count.
Later,
Ikram.

I dont know about the nephew part but can comment on his attitude. He
is a very arrogant guy. He thinks the world of himself. Ask ayone who
has ever promoted his show in america. Ask them about SKR's phone
bills. After putting him up in a *****hotel, and providing a limo for
him, promoters have to pay a few hundred $$ in phone bills also. Since
SKR calls India like he is calling down the street. He does not want
to meet his fans in America, he just wants to perform get paid and be
left alone. He forgets its his fans that maid him.

"Eye on Asia" shown on saturday and sunday here in Toronto, reported the
same fact. So it is true. Hosts are Darshan Sahota and Arvinder Sahota. If
you want to confirm, I can get you the phone number of Eye on Asia.

Unless, of course, our friendly neighborhood Anwar Sadaat was present at
either SRK's conception, or birth. But, for some odd reason, I seriously
doubt that. :)

Well, I don't have any 'SOURCE' as such, but I heard something similar
back around 91-92, when his movies first started coming out. Apparently,
Ayub Khan is Dilip's 'Bhateeja' i.e. Dilip's brother Nasir Khan. That
is probably why its a more well-known fact.. SRK, on the other hand,
is Dilip's 'Bhaanjaa' as in, Dilip's sister's son. Anyway, like I said,
I have no source to substantiate the claim, but this is what I heard from
more than a few people back then.

Sorry Rizwan....
I think that Ayub is the son of Begum Para, the famous yester-year vamp.
Who also happens to be DilipK's sister.
I seem to remember that in a Filmfare article.....
