Bollywood Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan’s father, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan was a freedom fighter during the time of colonial India. However, do you know that Meer Tah had contested elections from Gurgaon back in 1957 and did not receive a single vote? This was because people at that time had only voted for Abul Kalam Azad from Congress who was Aamir Khan’s great grand uncle.
When Shah Rukh Khan’s dad fought against Aamir Khan’s great- grand uncle
After the first Lok Sabha elections were held in Gurgaon back in 1952. It was in 1957 when the second Lok Sabha elections were held where Abul Kalam Azad, Aamir Khan’s uncle from Congress, received 1,91,221 votes. The most interesting part of the election was that Taj Mohammad Khan didn’t even receive a single vote which was a record in itself. SRK and Aamir had a generational rivalry. There was a post by a pop culture and film-related account named, Pop Base on X that read, “Name your favourite celebrity fact.” A user commented by saying that Shah Rukh Khan’s father contested the Lok Sabha Elections in 1957 from Gurgaon against Abul Kalam Azad, the great grand uncle of Aamir Khan.
