Bollywood’s Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan has found place for himself among the 50 Most Powerful People of the World. “It’s not just that his (Khan’s) romantic flicks that make gazillions – it’s where those gazillions come from. Khan is huge in the Muslim world, even in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the mullahs ban his films. Their main appeal is certainly the song-and-dance numbers, but Khan makes devoutly secular films where love trounces bigotry.”
