Shah Rukh Khan


The shining star of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan will soon be on the moon. Seriously a crater on the moon has been named after him.

The hard-core fans of the actor named a crater on the moon, ‘Sea of Tranquility’ after King Khan. The crazy fans persuaded a New York-based organization, International Lunar Geographic Society, to name the crater after their beloved Bollywood super star Shah Rukh Khan.

The International Astronomical Union approved the request of SRK’s fans to name the crater after Shah Rukh Khan. According to a source the crater on the moon, “has been given the honorary designation as the Crater S R Khan on the occasion of Mr Khan`s 44th birthday on November 2, 2009.”

According to the International Lunar Geographic Society, they decided to do so due to the numerous requests from Shah Rukh’s admirers from India and around the world. Not only the crater but one of Shah Rukh’s die-hard fan, has already bought piece of the moon for him.

Now Shah Rukh Khan has joined the league of great people like Nobel laureate C V Raman, father of the Indian space programme Vikram Sarabhai, father of the Indian nuclear
programme Homi Bhabha and Indian astrophysicist Meghnad Saha after whom craters have been named.
