Shah Rukh Khan Recalls Fakir's Prediction at Ajmer Sharif About His Wealth
Before Shah Rukh Khan's rise to fame, he visited Ajmer Sharif with his ailing mother, carrying a chadar and Rs 5,000 for safekeeping. After losing the money, a fakir at the shrine predicted he would earn Rs 500 crore. Shah Rukh recalled this incident during 2014 promotions, emphasizing it was about his mother's prayers and blessings rather than wealth. Though sometimes skeptical, he believes the prediction and blessings have stayed with him throughout his career.
