Shah Rukh Khan also collected his college degree from Delhi University in February, 28 years after he graduated from Hansraj College. SRK, who was in Delhi promoting his film Fan, joked: "Since I had not collected my degree since 1988, they thought, chalo dete hain." His Fan director Maneesh Sharma is also a Hansraj alumnus. "They didn't find Maneesh's degree. So, we are not sure if he even passed college," quipped SRK.
Shah Rukh Khan was seen in this year's Fan and Dear Zindagi. He also had a cameo in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The actor will be next seen in Rahul Dholakia's Raees, co-starring Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film releases with Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil on January 25. SRK is currently filming an Imtiaz Ali project and will also begin work on Aanand L Rai's film, in which he reportedly plays a dwarf.
