July 7, 2013 Location: Mumbai, India — and across the world, in every home with a music channel and a heart that beat for Bollywood. SRK-Shahrukh Khan- Hit Songs - July 7- 2013

Number 1: Tum Hi Ho — no, wait. That was number two. At the very top, in bold golden letters:

Number 3: Saans — again from Jab Tak Hai Jaan . The soulful melody with Katrina’s ethereal presence and his weary, romantic eyes. He remembered shooting that song in the freezing cold of Ladakh, how his breath had fogged up the air, but the director had yelled “cut” only when Shah Rukh’s eyes had welled up naturally. His finger trembled slightly as he scrolled up

At number 10: Tum Hi Ho (Aashiqui 2). He nodded respectfully. A beautiful song. Then at 8: Balam Pichkari (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani). He smiled — Ranbir was like family. But then, at number 5, he saw it: Challa from Jab Tak Hai Jaan — his own voice, his own pain, his own longing for a woman who was no longer there in the film, but always in his heart on screen.

Shah Rukh sat on his terrace swing, AbRam asleep on his chest, while Aryan and Suhana argued over which song was better — Challa or Balam Pichkari . Gauri brought him chai and said, “You’re not competing with anyone, you know.” That was number two
