As Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan turns 60 years old, the entertainment world is abuzz with celebrations and tributes to the global superstar.

In a recent interview, Hema Malini recalled her initial impressions of Shah Rukh, saying that from the moment she saw him in the TV series 'Fauji', she knew he was different. She felt he was perfect for the rich, aristocratic role she was casting for in her directorial debut 'Dil Aashna Hai'. Hema's husband, actor Dharmendra, was equally impressed by Shah Rukh's unique charm when they first met him.
