Shah Rukh Khan (Legend*Icon*Star)
‘I SAY IT WITH ALL HUMILITY, I AM THE LAST OF THE STARS’
AS A SUPERSTAR WHO LIVES HIS LIFE in the glare of cameras and headlines, much has been written about Shah Rukh Khan—his passion, his craft, his humility and the love he spreads around. But beyond the films, the news and the star persona is a man who has come to mean many different things to his ever-growing legion of fans.
Whether as Rahul Raichand or Raj Malhotra, Mohan Bhargava or Rizwan Khan, Aman Mathur or Kabir Khan, the many roles that ‘King Khan’ has embraced for his films have become forever etched in the minds of countless moviegoers. This book presents portraits of the star’s inspirational life and unearths what he means to people in every corner of the world—be it a taxi driver in Paris, an Irishwoman in London, three generations of women in a family in Pakistan or screaming fans across Europe, Asia, the US, the Middle East and, of course, India.
As much a paean to Shah Rukh’s career as a tribute to the actor himself, this book is a dream compendium of intimate stories, fan accounts and never-before-seen photographs of the man who rules the hearts of more than half the world’s people—the star, the icon, the legend, SHAH RUKH KHAN.
Charles: The Heart of a King
The former Prince of Wales has lived his whole life in the public eye, yet he remains an enigma. He was born to be king, but he aims much higher. A landmark publication, Charles: The Heart of a King reveals Prince Charles in all his complexity: the passionate views that mean he will never be as remote and impartial as his mother; the compulsion to make a difference and the many and startling ways in which the Prince and now King of the United Kingdom and fifteen other realms has already made his mark.
The book offers fresh and fascinating insights into the first marriage that did so much to define him and an assessment of his relationship with the woman he calls, with unintended accuracy, his ‘dearest wife’: Camilla, now Queen Consort. We see Charles as a father and a friend, a serious figure and a joker. Life at court turns out to be full of hidden dangers and unexpected comedy.
