On Thursday, Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho retweeted a video of Shah Rukh and called him a legend. He also recommended to his friends from western countries that if they don't know who he is, they must watch “My name is Khan- and I am not a terrorist."
“King. Legend . Friend. But above all GREAT ACTOR ( for those who don’t know him in the West, I strongly suggest “My name is Khan- and I am not a terrorist")," Paulo Coelho tweeted.
