Well it seems one of Bollywood's most popular actors has something else to add to his massive repertoire of accolades as he's been chosen to receive an honorary doctorate degree! That's right, Shahrukh Khan will receive an honorary doctorate degree in arts and culture from Britain's University of Bedfordshire.
So how did this happen? Well, Shahrukh was nominated by the non-profit charity organization, 'Routes to Roots,' whose goal is to bring people and cultures together across of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.
Shahrukh is quite honored by this and released a statement saying, "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."
Routes to Roots chose Shahrukh because of his work for the underprivileged and his work in charities in conjunction with natural disasters. Shahrukh earned a bachelor's degree in Economics from Hansraj College and pursed a Master's degree in Mass Communication from Jamia Millia Islamia before choosing to leave the college in order to purse his career in Bollywood.
So what we want to know is what you think about Shahrukh's honor. Is it well deserved? What do you think about 'Routes to Root' nominating the star? Drop us your thoughts on the matter by leaving your comments below.
