Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan reveals he's never even been offered a role in Hollywood
HE MAY not be a household name here in the UK, but the Bollywood hero Shah Rukh Khan is in fact second highest paid actor in the world - although, he won't be making the move to Hollywood anytime soon.

Shah's been dubbed the 'Tom Cruise' of Bollywood, yet he has no interest in following the Mission Impossible star's footsteps by becoming the biggest name in the West.
Appearing on today's This Morning, the legendary star told hosts Holly Willoughby and Eamonn Holmes, that bizarrely, Hollywood is yet to call.
When asked if he's got his eyes on a major US role, Shah revealed: "I've never actually been offered one but many actors are working abroad and have been very successful."
He added that he's a complete "workaholic" and can't keep away from a film set, making sure he's starring in at least one film at a time.

Shah is currently promoting his latest romance, Dilwale, directed by acclaimed Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty, alongside Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.
After correcting a red-faced Eamonn and Holly over their pronunciation of the famed Hindu festival, Shah explained the film's title simply translates as "big-hearted" here in Britain.
Before celebrating his 50th birthday last month, Shah was named the second richest actor in the world - out-earning the likes of Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks and Clint Eastwood.

So it's no wonder Twitter went into a meltdown over the megatsar's appearance on the This Morning sofa.
One ecstatic fan squealed: "I actually screamed when turned to on and SRK was on #thismorning (sic.)"
Another wrote: "Shah Rukh Khan on This Morning. So excited!"
Dilwali arrives in UK cinemas on December 18.
