Born and brought up in Bangalore, Khan passed away at his farmhouse there on Sunday, April 26. He was 69, and had been fighting a long duel with cancer. He's survived by wife Sundari, son Fardeen and daughter Laila.
And by an audience who never saw a man's man quite like him.
At a time when heroes were playing good, morally upright fellers of immense virtue, Khan decided to unbutton his shirt and bring on the coolth. Women, fast cars, glamour -- he had the personality to juggle them all. Initially fashioning himself clearly after Steve McQueen, he went on to become his own unique character.
