London, (ANI): The University of Bedfordshire will honour Bollywood star shahrukh khan with an honorary doctorate in the field of arts and culture on July 10.

The actor was nominated by NGO Routes to Roots which has people like Anuradha Mahindra, Juhi Chawla and Mahesh Bhatt among its patrons.

"I am delighted that Routes to Roots nominated me for the honorary doctorate in arts and culture from the Bedfordshire University UK and it will be my pleasure to receive it personally on 10th July in London," shahrukh khan said in a statement.
