Shah Rukh Khan, Paulo Coelho's Twitter exchange is the best thing you'll see today

Shah Rukh Khan is truly a global star as the actor has fans across the world. Bollywood's King Khan has often been hailed as an inspiration to many others, whether they are Pakistani or Indian stars. However, Khan, 57, has also found a star in celebrated author, Paulo Coelho. 

On Thursday, the Alchemist author shared a video posted by Khan, where the Bollywood star greeted his fans outside his Mumbai residence Mannat. The author, while lauding India's arguably biggest star, penned, "King. Legend. Friend. But above all great actor. (for those who don't know him in the West, I strongly suggest My Name is Khan - and I am not a terrorist")." 

King. Legend . Friend. But above all
GREAT ACTOR
( for those who don’t know him in the West, I strongly suggest “My name is Khan- and I am not a terrorist”) https://t.co/fka54F1ycc

Coelho has often sung praises of the Dilwale star. A self-confessed fan of Khan's performance in My Name Is Khan, the author had tweeted a few years back as well. "My Name Is Khan (2009) is the best movie I watched this year," Coelho tweeted. "Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan, Congrats on My Name is Khan. I wish we could see more of your movies in Europe. I had to wait for six years to watch this," he wrote in another tweet.
