Baazigar...oh Baazigar...These lines immediately take you back in time when your King of Hearts, the Badshah khan was a true blue baazigar. Even with those killer looks, the scheming eyes & the innocent face, SRK made you fall in love with his deadly combo. On the 21st Anniversary of filmmaker Abbas-Mustan's iconic thriller we give you a few fun facts that you probably didn't know:
