Why over think it, you know? I’m not coming up with a theme or anything like that, I’m just saying out of all the candid photos I can find, these are the ones I like best. Feel free to disagree and post your own suggestions in the comments. Or to skip this post entirely if you can’t stand his face.
I like this one, it’s from the AIB interview, and it feels so relaxed and free.
This is like you are sitting right next to him and he just turned to say something to you
This is his classic “you said something stupid and I am irritated but I will widen my eyes to hide it” face.
So young! Such a little insecure baby!
So young! So young and secure in this moment!
And years later, still just as happy together
And with the other woman in his life
A recent one, very cute with little mini-SRK next to him.
An old one, very cute, mugging for the camera while Rakesh ignores it.
Had to include this one, he looks good, and of course it was also the photo that broke the internet.
I love this photo. Smoking is so cool.
I love this photo. Glasses and coffee is also cool.
Awwww! Goofing around in an early make-up room.
And finally, how does Shahrukh feel about this whole post? Well, he is a little amused and a little confused
Is that Zayn Malik in the breaking the internet photo? I can only imagine what Twitter was like that day.

Yep! They were both at some award banquet for British Indians, it was the most viewed tweet that year or something like that. I just assume Suhana sent him off with instructions to get a photo with Zayn Malik for her and it turned into this.

Found it! A nice message from Shahrukh, and then it became the most retweeted tweet on Indian twitter ever, that’s the record it set. It was also, coincidentally, Zayn’s first public appearance after announcing he was leaving the band.

This last photo is so so good. I can’t stop looking at it. And it’s so unfair that men look better when they are older and women not!

I don’t think it is “men” that look better, I think it is Shahrukh! Looking at the 3 Khans 20 years ago to today just stuns me in terms of who has aged well and who hasn’t.

True, especially Salman aged badly but there are plenty of others who aged very well like Anil, Sunil Shetty, or Madhavan who looks like 1000x better then 20 years ago.

I will not accept Maddy as 10000x better, because that seems overly insulting to young Maddy. But maybe 100x

Don’t forget Akshay, clean living and Twinkle have been really good for him.

But would we say Old Akshay is actually better than Young Akshay? Or are they tied? Or is Old Akshay just much closer to Young Akshay than you would expect considering the years in between?
Never mind, this is clearly a TGIF topic in waiting.

Most men don’t. They lose their hair and go bald and unless they have very striking features, the bald look won’t work for most. SRK hit the genetic lottery with that hair of his. Then when you cover up the wrinkles with some facial hair, you can look handsome forever. That’s why Anil Kapoor never shaves!

I don’t want Anil Kapoor to shave! He is so disturbingly unlike himself when he loses the mustache.

I have so many but I think we cannot post pictures. Wait, there are people who don’t like his face???????

I just assume there are! I don’t like Randeep Hooda’s (stupid) face and there is no logical reason for that, surely there are people with the same illogical dislike for Shahrukh.
You can post a photo if you find it online and post it as a link. To do that:
Right click on the photo and select the option “open in new tab”
Copy the url of that new tab
In your comment, go down two lines (hit “Enter” twice), post the url, then go down another line (hit “Enter” again)
It still won’t work sometimes, mostly if the website put something in place to prevent it from being posted, but most of the time this process will work. For instance:

That happens sometimes, they are copied links not hosted here, and depending on where you are in the world and what device you are using, you may not be able to see them all.

I agree all of these are lovely. My favorite candids of him are on my phone. Wish I could directly upload here from there. Maybe I’ll upload some of them to my WordPress blog and then copy the links here. Would that work? Of course, then I’ll be alerting all 6 of the readers of my radical feminist blog that I’m a huge SRK fangirl. 🙂

That would work! And you can always spin it in a radical feminist direction, you are reappropriating the gaze or something.
