So how did this happen? Well, Shahrukh was nominated by the non-profit charity organization, 'Routes to Roots,' whose goal is to bring people and cultures together across of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation.

Shahrukh is quite honored by this and released a statement saying, "I am delighted that Routes to Roots nominated me for the honorary doctorate in arts and culture from the Bedfordshire University UK and it will be my pleasure to receive it personally on 10th July in London."
