Entertainment Desk Published
August 29, 2015
Who doesn't want to know their favourite actor's deepest, darkest desires?
And who wouldn't want to voyeur into the mind of the likes of Shah Rukh Khan?
The Bollywood actor shared his bucket list of things to do on Twitter, and while the list isn't dark, its length and variety make it quite deep!
He begins with the basics, some life skills and wardrobe must-haves:

Then, he moves on to bigger goals. Did you know he was writing a book?

And then he disclosed his 'Nobel' ambitions:

The actor, who's currently working on three highly awaited films – Raees (opposite Mahira Khan), Fan and Dilwale – may not have lots of time on his hands, but that doesn't curb his enthusiasm for living life to the fullest!

To be even a candidate for Nobel Prize one must have sone something noble and so far SRK have zero score.
Abdul Satar Edhi is a prime candidate for Nobel Prize.

Now a days Religion and politics instead of uniting people it actually divides. We are happy, at least Art and films are uniting people across regions. Yes,Therefore,Shrukhan should be offered Nobel prize for promoting peace and unity.

As per my understanding everyone's bucket list includes things he/she think is near to impossible in their ordinary lives. for an over achieving celebrity things like Nobel prize are such things. There is nothing wrong if he has included this in his bucket list.
P.S. I am not fan of either his acting or personality, but millions like him.

There is a significant difference between wanting to "win a Nobel prize" and wanting to "Invent/do a Noble prize worth thing". First is a desire for the highest prize (i.e. fame/glory), second is a desire to do something of such importance that it would be worth the highest prize (i.e. fame/glory is secondary).

"Invent/do a Noble prize worth thingy??! " - Quit song & dance routine, selling celluloid dreams to man in the street, leave glittering world of Bollywood, take up seriously a social cause uplifting downtrodden Indians - you might get a shot at Nobel prize otherwise learn how to make 5 cocktails & become life of the party.

India is now the best friend of Israel and they own the world's propaganda apparatus. If Modi can be a fashion icon , why can't a Bollywooder win a Nobel? I don't give a hoot for Nobel prize in non-scientific , not even pseudo-scientific field like economics.

Man has got karizma and a lot of class. What i like most about him is that he is at the same time, philosophical and energetic, polite and brash. He is also an educated guy, unlike most of his contemporaries.
SRK's story is what dreams are made up of. "Fasal-e-gul thi, gulposhiyon ka mausam tha...hum per kabhi sargoshiyon ka mausam tha.. lamha lamha... armaano ki farmaaish thi... lamha lamha... jurrrat ki aajmaaish thi"

No harm in wishing/dreaming of Noble Prize. But, odds of him even getting nominated for any such award is NIL. He is a good actor and should use his resources to improve well beings of poor people in India first followed by neighbouring countries. There are many examples of such people in India and have not been nominated yet.

With his wealth, he would probably have enough money to buy the Nobel Foundation outright and start dishing out the Nobel prizes to himself and his Kolkata Knight Riders players. Like everything else these days, silly money is making most priceless awards affordable.

There is no Nobel Prize for acting in the films but really doing extraordinary thing to bring peace in this world. Get involved, do something through your talent of mass communication via films, writings, speeches, organizing conflict resolution entities etc. and bring peace between India and Pakistan. May your dream come true.

@M.A. Dar Do you have any idea, that in some English speaking countries, it is spelt as noble while in the others, it is spelt as nobel. Check it with Maulana Google. The difference in the spelling and accent is the most pronounced in USA and UK.
