Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has achieved a remarkable milestone, being named among the top 10 most handsome men in the world, as per a list curated by renowned facial cosmetic surgeon Dr. Julian De Silva.
Khan, the only Indian actor to feature on this prestigious list, solidifies his status as a global icon. The news was reported by Express, highlighting his continued influence in the entertainment industry.
Dr. De Silva’s rankings were based on the ancient Golden Ratio, a mathematical formula historically linked to beauty and aesthetics. By analyzing various celebrities’ facial features, De Silva evaluated their alignment with this ratio.
Shah Rukh Khan secured the 10th spot with a notable score of 86.76%. Dr. De Silva praised Khan’s near-perfect nose, which scored 98.8%, and his high chin score of 95%. However, his scores were slightly lower for features like eye spacing (89%), the distance between his nose and upper lip (89.6%), and lip proportions (86%).
The Golden Ratio, approximately 1.618 (Phi), is revered in art and design, famously applied by Leonardo da Vinci in his depiction of the Vitruvian Man, which illustrates ideal human proportions.
Shah Rukh Khan’s inclusion in this list adds to his legacy of accolades, including being named the Sexiest Asian Man by Eastern Eye in 2007 and listed among TIME magazine’s most influential people in the world last year.
Despite being in his 50s, Khan’s charm continues to captivate fans of all ages. Meanwhile, British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson claimed the top spot on the list with a score of 93.04%, followed by Lucien Laviscount and Paul Mescal in second and third place, respectively.
Shah Rukh Khan is also preparing for his upcoming film King, a unique project featuring his daughter, Suhana Khan. The film adds another chapter to his illustrious career.
Khan has expressed interest in shifting towards comedy in his next projects. In a recent Locarno Meets podcast, he discussed his desire to move away from action films and return to lighter, comedic roles. Having showcased his comedic talent in films like Baadshah, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year, fans eagerly await his return to the genre.
After a four-year hiatus following the underperformance of his 2018 film Zero, Khan made a triumphant comeback in 2023 with action blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan, both of which were box office hits.
As Khan continues to explore new genres and roles, fans eagerly anticipate his next cinematic chapter. His versatility as an actor and ability to transition across genres remains one of his greatest strengths, leaving audiences excited for what’s next.
