The HRD Ministry has turned down a request by Jamia Millia Islamia In New Delhi to confer an honorary doctorate degree on Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
The Ministry said Shah Rukh has already been conferred the degree by Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANNU) in 2016. The information was given by the university in response to a RTI query by a daily.
