Shah Rukh Khan Turns 59: When Superstar Called Veteran Producer Anand Pandit His 'Spiritual Guru', Here's Why

Shah Rukh Khan Turns 59: Legions of fans call Shahrukh Khan, the Baadshah of Hindi cinema and take inspiration from his astoundingly successful life story. The superstar who celebrates his birthday today, is however quite vocal about those he takes inspiration from.

One of the luminaries he often talks about is producer and real estate magnet Anand Pandit. Last year the Pathan star was at Anand Pandit's 60th birthday celebrations and while reflecting upon his successful year at the box office, mentioned that he often sought advice from Pandit during challenging times.

When Shah Rukh Khan Called Veteran Producer Anand Pandit His 'Spiritual Guru'

He said, "He is also my spiritual guru. He understands Vastu, so when one of my films doesn't do well, I call him over to change things up in my house. I say, 'Sir, meri pichli waali picture chali nahi, kuch kar do.' And he suggests moving a mirror around. But fortunately, my films have been working."

The actor jovially shed light on their bond and added that he often wakes up at midnight and drives around Juhu with Pandit. He also joked that Pandit owns so much of real estate in the neighbourhood that it's easier for him to point out the buildings he doesn't own as opposed to the ones that he does.

Today, as legions of fans gather outside Mannat to wish Khan, Pandit will be among the few close friends who will greet the superstar personally.

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his upcoming movie, King, where he will share screen space with his daughter, Suhana.
