Khan is the face of Dubai Tourism's Be My Guest campaign, and calls Dubai his second home.

He joins an elite list of global achievers, that also includes celebrated Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi and noted fashion designer Elie Saab.

Messi gets his very own 'Dubai Star' and remember, you heard it here first. Tag someone who needs to know this and nominate your favourite star to get the chance to meet them in person, at the home of the Burj Khalifa.
