King Of Bollywood is a book written by Anupama Chopra.

This novel is about the life of the Bollywood superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, who is popularly called the King of Bollywood. He is so popular that everyone all over the world knows of him, his house in Mumbai is a regular tourist attraction, and he is mobbed everywhere by his loving fans. He is different from the other superstars because he breaks all stereotypes: he is not fair, he does not have the best acting skills, he doesnâ€™t have muscles, and yet he is so well known.

This book was written with over three years of research, where the author interviewed over 90 people to find the answers as to why he is such a legend. He is different in one way because while all his contemporaries were sons and daughters of legends in the industry, his father was just a poor poetry lover. The book talks about his fatherâ€™s struggles and his last days at the hospital. It talks about his marriage with wife.

It even talks about his sexuality. In a country where being gay is a stigma, he has taken up courageous roles and his first character role was that of a gay college student. He wishes to play a role as a gay character to win an Oscar, he is best friends with a filmmaker who is openly gay, and he is the only male model in India. Despite all that, he is still loved by friends, family, and everyone around the world.

King Of Bollywood was published by Great Central Publishing in 2007, and is available in hardcover.
