He will be called DATUK Shah Rukh Khan, the actor from "Bollywood". His 2001 movie, "One 2 Ka 4" was filmed at a popular resort in Malacca.

He is among 78 people to get the award alongside the country's navy chief, academics, artists and journalists.

The wife of deputy prime minister Najib Razak, Rosmah Mansor is a huge fan of the Shah Rukh, dubbed the "King of Bollywood" here.

But Fatimah Tahir, a fan of the star, was stunned at the news."I wonder whether Shah Rukh Khan even knows where Malacca is," she told the newspaper.


(Note: Locations for ‘Chak De! India’ in which Shah Rukh Khan is the main star, are Melbourne and Sydney, Australia.

Shah Rukh Khan is set to open a new office in London, which will be an extension of his production house Red Chillies Entertainment. He wants to make films with English technicians. Read here for more)

BORN: 2 November 1965, New Delhi, India.

Khan was born to Muslim parents of Pathan ethnicity in New Delhi, India.

His father, Taj Mohammed Khan was a freedom fighter from Peshawar, Pakistan. His mother Lateef Fatima was the adopted daughter of Major General Shah Nawaz Khan of the Janjua Rajput clan, who served as a General in the Indian National Army of Subash Chandra Bose .

He attended St. Columba's School where he was accomplished in sports, drama and academics.

He later attended the Hansraj College (1985-1988) to earn an Honors degree in Economics. Though he studied for a Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia, he later opted out to make his career in Bollywood.

After the death of his parents, Khan moved to Mumbai in 1991.

In that same year, before any of his film releases, he married Gauri Khan (who is a Hindu) in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony on 25 October 1991.

They have two children, son Aryan Khan (b. 1997) and daughter Suhana (b. 2000).
