Bollywood's superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who was named as the second richest actor in the world, has now secured a place in the richest Indian list.

In May, Wealth-X also named him the second richest actor in the Hollywood and Bollywood Rich List. Khan managed to beat Hollywood actors Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp to gain the second spot.
