Every now and then we’ve had this moment when we’ve been complimented by our mom: “Arrey mera beta to aaj ekdum Shah Rukh lag rha hai.” Honestly, it’s never just about looks. SRK has given us characters so iconic, so relatable, that we’ve somehow internalized them in our work, hustle and love life as well. Whether it’s the tough life coach Kabir Khan or Raj, ultimate love guru, SRK never fails to give us some OG inspiration. (Image: Instagram) There are movie stars, and then there’s Shah Rukh Khan, the man who turned every character into an aspiration. So, as SRK turns 60 tomorrow, we asked ourselves: what if his most iconic characters had LinkedIn profiles? Because let’s face it: if Raj can win hearts across continents, he’d probably crush it at any given 9-to-5 as well! Shivangi Sharma, Chief Entertainment Officer at Excitel, curates iconic SRK characters as top LinkedIn profiles. (Image: Instagram) Raj Malhotra (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge) (Image: IMDb) Headline: Cross-continent Lover | Cultural Bridge Builder | Certified Charmer About: “’Raj naam toh suna hi hoga.’ Born in London, rooted in tradition. I’ve mastered the art of stealing hearts with sincerity. I believe success isn’t about being an NRI; it’s about taking that extra train, meeting a stranger, and winning her over (and her babuji) with honesty. Let’s just say, I believe in the fact that “Bade bade deshon mein aisi chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain, Senorita.” (Image: Pinterest) Kabir Khan (Chak De! India) (Image: IMDb) Headline: Hunky Hockey Coach | Comeback Specialist About: “’Team ka sabse bada gunda main hun.’ Not just that, I turn underdogs into champions by reminding them that 70 minutes is everything you got…so, just show the world your worth. My leadership philosophy? It’s not about shouting louder, it’s about whispering, ‘Chak De India’, till the world hears it.” (Image: Instagram) Aman (Kal Ho Naa Ho) (Image: Pinterest) Headline: Life Coach | The OG Lover| Mr. Sunshine About: “Life’s too short for regrets and too beautiful for complaints. I believe in laughter therapy, spontaneous dancing, and living life to its fullest. Yet, I’m too afraid to say, ‘I Love You’. My purpose? To remind people of the funda, ‘Jiyo! Khush raho! Muskurao! Kya pata, kal ho naa ho.’” (Image: IMDb) Harry (Jab Harry Met Sejal) (Image: IMDb) Headline: Travel Consultant | Storyteller | Wanderer I The Brooding Lover About: “I’m not always searching for new adventures; I seek love too. I’ve seen the world but lost myself somewhere within the crowd and I hum ‘Shehar-shehar fursaton ko bechta hoon Khaali haath jaata, khaali laut’ta hoon.’ Now helping others find what they’re truly searching for: a destination or sometimes themselves. Apart from spotting me at a travel agency, you’ll find me singing my heart out, ‘Safar ka hi tha mein, safar ka raha. Idhar ka hi hoon, na udhar ka raha.”” (Image: IMDb) Jehangir Khan (Dear Zindagi) (Image: IMDb) Headline: Therapist | Listener-in-Chief About: “’Albert Einstein ne kaha tha, pagal woh hota hai joh roz roz same kaam karta hai, magar chahta hai ki nateeja alag ho.’ I do the same, helping people untangle their lives in one conversation at a time. I never get tired; I just love to listen. Apart from free listening therapies, I’m open to mentorship gigs, workshops, cycle repair services and long drives by the beach.” (Image: IMDb)
