Well well well, Shahrukh Khan is my favourite actor/entertainer. So it is difficult to leave him out of the list of inspiring people. This guy with unconventional looks has entered bollywood with no family connections and became the Baadshah of Bollywood.
He made even negative roles look cool in 'Baazigar' and 'Darr'. Even today, more than 18 years after 'Darr' released, people say 'K....K....K...Kiran' to imitate SRK. He revolutionized bollywood romance through his portrayal of Raj in 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge'. He did not shy away from doing experimental films like 'Asoka', 'Swadesh','Chak de India' etc. He also set the trend of stars endorsing products. He doesn't shy away from trying to fill Big B's shoes either in the film 'Don' or the TV show 'KBC'.
He knows he is popular and doesn't show false humility. He is arrogant, but it justifiable since he is a self made star. He captures the middle class peoples imagination of making it big through hard work. His unblemished public image (I am talking about his family life) adds to that.
