His audience also recognise in the actor an astute businessman (6%) who is fearless as he dabbles in film production (first Dreams Unlimited, now Red Chillies), runs one of the most successful VFX studios in India, owns a cricket team (Kolkata Knight Riders) in the IPL and has a stake in Kidzania, an indoor theme park.

As much as he's in the spotlight for his various ventures, the actor has also seen biggest failures (Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Asoka) and the biggest hits (Om Shanti Om and Chennai Express) in film-making as well as cricket, where his team was derided for poor on-field performance for three seasons till it picked up in the fourth.

Shah Rukh Khan, who's often touted to be the world's biggest movie star (said to be 'more popular than Tom Cruise') revels in being an entertainer.
