SRK was earliest Indian celebrity to be given golden visa
After the latest, we dial back to one of the oldest recipients. The Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, was one of the earliest Indian celebrities to be given the special visa. This is hardly surprising as Khan was named Dubai Tourism's brand ambassador in 2016 and even owns a lavish private island house in Palm Jumeirah, the largest artificial archipelago in the world.
