Shahrukh Khan's elder sister's name is SHEHNAZ LALA RUKH ,
and
Lalla Rookh is an Oriental romance by Thomas Moore, published in 1817. The title is taken from the name of the heroine of the frame tale, the daughter of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (wikipedia)
Generations of readers are familiar with the famous Poem 'Lalla Rookh' by Thomas Moore.
It describes the marriage of one of Aurangzeb's daughters, Lalla Rookh, to a Prince of Samarkand.
Lalla Rookh was said to be exceptionally beautiful. The Samarkand Prince apparently sent his emissary to bring his bride home after a marriage by proxy. The emissary was a Poet who entertained the Princess on the long way back and by the time they reached Samarkand, the two were madly in love.
But the biggest surprise was when the Princess learnt that the Poet was none other than the Prince himself, who had come in disguise not only to win her hand but also her heart.
History does not record this marriage, though the chances of it being true cannot be ruled out.

Many years ago Yash Chopra announced a film on same name starring Rishi Kapoor ( I think this was just before or just after ' Chandni ') but it was called off as no distributer was interested in it . Very nice Q Akhil Bhai
