Ace Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan on Saturday become the first actor to be conferred a Malaysian title, ‘Datuk,’ which is often equated with the British knighthood.

Resplendent in a black baju Melayu, samping and songkok, King Khan received the title of ‘Datuk’ from Mohamad Khalil Yaacob, the Governor of Malaysia’s southern Malacca State, during a special ceremony in Malaysia.

Baju Melayu is just like ‘kurta-pajama’, while ‘samping’ is a piece of cloth men folded around the wearer’s waist, falling to the length of the long shirt. Stay kool khan.
