In this special birthday episode of The Watchlist with Jyotika, we’re celebrating Shah Rukh Khan, the superstar who’s redefined charm, emotion, and energy for over three decades. 

And what better way to do that than by revisiting one of his early, often-forgotten gems — King Uncle.
Directed by Rakesh Roshan, the film stars Jackie Shroff as the cold, no-nonsense industrialist Ashok Bansal, whose life changes when a mischievous orphan, Munna, enters his mansion and his heart.

Along the way, we see a young Shah Rukh Khan in one of his sweetest supporting roles full of warmth, innocence, and that spark that hinted at the megastar he was about to become.

It’s a story about family, forgiveness, and how love can melt even the toughest exterior.
Tune in as Jyotika looks back at King Uncle, a film that reminds us that before the “King Khan” we know today, there was a young dreamer already winning hearts in his own quiet way.
