The actor who is quite aware of his popularity and market value used it to good effect more than a decade back. It is believed that during the release of his film Dil To Pagal Hai, Shah Rukh used to allegedly charge Rs 5000 per interview whenever a media channel interviewed him. But before you think he exploited his fame to his benefit, it is also reported by different media houses that SRK used the money strictly for charity purposes only.

SRK is also the first Indian to be recognised by the international organization, UNESCO, for his charitable act. Very few know that providing medical aid to the needy is a cause close to the actor's heart. When animator Charu Khandal from Red Chillies, who worked on King Khan's Ra.One, was critically injured in a car accident, she got help from the baadshah himself. In an interview to Hindustan Times, the victim's sister, Ritu, was quoted as saying that when SRK spoke to the hospital authorities, her sister Charu was given VIP treatment and Red Chillies paid around Rs 8-10 lakh for the cost incurred on medical treatment. SRK himself was quoted telling media personnel at the airport, "Yeah, it's very unfortunate. I have been in touch with the office. I will go and take a look at her. I will pray that Allah makes her alright soon."

Some years ago, a reporter from a popular media channel met with an accident just after he had interviewed Shah Rukh Khan. His condition was quite critical and the hospital authorities demanded a huge sum of money for his treatment since the injuries were severe. There was little time and money was needed on an immediate basis for his admission. When SRK got a whiff of this, he immediately arranged for the money which reportedly amounted to one lakh per day for the treatment. Unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries in a few days.
