He is the Badshah of Bollywood, King of Romance, King Khan and now Bollywood’s quintessential lover boy is completing 26 successful years in the Hindi cinema industry. We are talking about Shah Rukh Khan, the man who has taught generations the meaning of love. He has made us fall in love with him, again and again. Yes, we are madly in love with Rahul, Raj, even Bablu and Guddu, the characters played by King Khan in his long filmy career. In fact, more than his on-screen avatars, it is Shah Rukh Khan’s real-life personality that has swept his fans of their feet.

Shah Rukh Khan is well-read, imparts knowledge (no, does not harp on but just shares his words of wisdom), highly respectful, witty, charming, and I can go on and on. But today we are not going to talk about his generous nature because we have something more important to focus on – why is Shah Rukh Khan so sexy, desirable, sexually attractive, despite not having the cliché bad boy image! We are going to look at 26 hot pictures of Shah Rukh Khan in black (yes, the goddamn sexy colour) that will make your ovaries explode! Yes, I am all for nain-sukh as we all celebrate #26YearsofSRK!

Before you proceed with drooling over these photos of King Khan, let us warn you in advance that 26 photos might prove to be a minimal number in admiring the ‘God of Hot Bod’. And, especially when Shah Rukh Khan dons the colour black, be it a suit, tux, pathani, or casual tee, the actor has the fans imagining ‘Happily Ever Afters’ with him. Without wasting another minute, go ahead and see for your favourite SRK picture wearing black.

That was a hot ride, was it not? If you guys still with us and not dreaming about Shah Rukh Khan already, the actor has posted a message for you all on completing 26 years in Bollywood. The man of the moment wrote a heartfelt note for his fans, which stated, “exactly half a lifetime of being ‘others’. Expressing love,happiness, sadness,dancing,falling & flying. Hope I hav touched small bits of ur hearts & hope I can do so for the whole lifetime... ’रोशनी मेरी बहुत दूर तक जायेगी, पर शर्त यह है, की सलीखे से जलाओ मुझको ‘” Shah Rukh had made his Bollywood debut with Deewana, which released on June 25 in 1992. Yes, it’s been that long journey, and we wish for it to continue forever, Mr Khan, from the epiglottis!
