Shahrukh Khan was born in 1965. A rankholder both at College and University levels in his B.A. exams, Shahrukh dabbled in theatre in his hometown Delhi, before moving on to Television serials like 'Circus' and 'Fauji', which were highly popular.

He got his break in Hindi movies with Hema Malini's directorial venture 'Dil Aashna Hai' and then with 'Deewana', released in 1992, he achieved stardom. With the films 'Baazigar' and 'Darr', Shahrukh merged the defining line between a hero and an anti-hero, and marked the transformation of a murderer into a popular hero, undefining the motive and morality behind violence.

In Aditya Chopra's 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge', which was a superhit, his performance as the sensitive and loving protagonist won him a credibility as an actor to reckon with. His later films, 'Dil To Pagal Hai', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and 'Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham', established his credentials as the reigning superstar of his generation.

Shahrukh Khan, the 'Bollywood Badshah' is a brand today. Mostly when he is signed on films, the directors would know that it would do well. This is the magic of the 'King Khan.' Shahrukh first came into the limelight as a soldier, Abhimanyu in a tele-serial 'Fauji.' This took the Indian television by storm. He got instant recognition and soon was cast in 'Circus,' a mega serial in the days when satellite television was still new and untapped. Little did he know then that he would soon be the most sought after name in Bollywood. Deewana, his debut film, opened the doors of Bollywood for him. Though he starred as a second hero to Rishi Kapoor, he made his mark. Soon offers flowed and what followed is history. Born on 2nd November 1965, Shahrukh grew up in Delhi. His father was a lawyer and freedom fighter and mother a magistrate and a social worker. He completed schooling from 'St. Columba's school' and went on to do Mass Communication in 'Jamia Millia Islamia.' He has always been an achiever.

• Sword of Honour to the most outstanding student
• The Ravi Subramani award
• The Sujit Memorial award
• He captained all teams in football, hockey, and cricket
• He was also in dramatics
• Very good in Hindi, Electronics, Biology
• He was a king in Electronics
• He still remembers the books he studied from.

Aditya Chopra, (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge) Karan Johar (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) and Farah Khan (Main Hoon Na) made their debut movies with Shahrukh and to say that all were hits would be an understatement.

 

Shahrukh Khan the most saleable actor in the business today. Crazy fans or canny distributor. His name is the guarantee. He hedges his bets by working only with best banners and top heroines. But the flip side is that he's also willing to take risk for friends. Aditya Chopra And Karan Johar were untested entities when he signed on for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Farah Khan directing his upcoming home production film Main Hoon Na is a first timer too. Shahrukh Khan was born on 2nd november 1965. He was brought up in Delhi. He had done his schooling from 'St. Columba's school' and from 'Jamia Millia Islamia' he had done Mass Communication.

Shahrukh started his career on a TV serial called "Fauji" which has given him instant recognition. He also acted in another TV soap called "Circus". His debut film was Deewana which open the doors of film industry for him. He was playing a second hero in it but his work was appreciated. After that there was no looking back. Shah Rukh Khan has won several awards for his outstanding performance in Darr (1994), Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Baadshah (1999) ...etc. He also formed a popular screen couple with Kajol. He's now a successful producer too with Chalte Chalte. His production company "Dreamz Unlimited" is shared with other two people... one is actress, friend, co-star Juhi Chawla and another is director and friend Aziz Mirza.

He is being called 'King Khan' and 'Badshah of Bollywood'. his films are like ISI mark. He has reached to the position of choice where his films flops or hits their release is an awaited affair. Things which makes him apart from other actors are his average looks, fast speech, soulful eyes, dimples on checks, thick lips and most imp is his saying 'I'm the best'. He feels acting is making unbelievable believable. He feels he become a better actor after acting in his two films which are also close to his heart... Dil Se and Kal Ho Naa Ho.

While studying he fell in love with Gauri Chibba who was then studying in Loreto Delhi. He later married her before coming into films. The most talented and hard working actor known to have an inflated ego, for which he works hard to keep it floating. He is having two children a son "Aryaan" and a daughter. He loves his children very much.These day he had started reading books on science as he dont want to be sound like a stupid dad, when they'll ask him which is bigger, Uranus or Saturn. He teaches them one new thing everyday. it could be names of Fidel Castro, Michael Schumacher, Osama Bin Laden or a place a name. He is planning to read maths in another two/three years.

He feels for the younger generation that should follow his zest for life and love of doing the best they can. They should believes that there is a purpose in life that you supposed to fulfill follows it wholeheartedly. And never give up when you stumble and not taken seriously.Sharukh Khan, the NO 1 hero and actor in the Bollywood today, was born on 2 Nov 1965 in New Delhi. He did his schooling in "ST. Columbia High School" - New Delhi, graduated from "Hansraj College" and then did his Post Graduation in "Mass Communications" from "Jamiya Miliya Islamiya" - Delhi.

The debut of the Khan in to the Bollywood was a phenomena. He had no godfather, no love story for him to begin with but quite amazingly a negative characterisation which he had to check himself with. Might be - who knows he opted for that but what an exhibition of a skill! It's not just one skill he actually posessed - but an ocean of skills. An all round capacity and versatility of skills.

Sharukh Khan, flying hi fi with his anti-hero appearence in "Baazigar" and "Deewana", has triggered alarming waves in the Bolywood of the birth of a new actor who's obviously going to challenge the very existence of the stars who are already there vying for the top place . And in "Darr", it happend. With these three films being swashbuckling hits at the box office, there was no doubt that Sharukh Khan was going to take over because these films brought the best acting capabilities out of him as well as his other extraordinary skills like - speech, looks of fierce and noble actor and an amount of immeasurable energetic strength coupled with the height of self estimation which put all the producers and directors on their feet to get after him. And he could do all a favor by giving all just more than what he's paid for.

And then, Sharukh is a non stop. No movie that he has acted in could drown him but could bring out and unearth a new dimension in him doing a favor to everyone involved with the movie. Even Sharukh could learn a lot from his films. He's got the maturity movie after movie and that is the great thing about him that could do the magic for him inspiring the likes of "Kamal Hasan" inviting Sharukh Khan to act in their films.

Sharukh Khan is total family man with his love-wife Gauri Chibber who graduated from New Delhi and the two children. Though he's very much fond of a baby girl, he was first blest with a son Aryan on 13 Nov 1997 and as he wished, a daughter just recently. Sharukh and Gauri are known as the best couple in the Bollywood because he's got an undying obsession for her and when it comes to his films, he always sticks to his moral values - ie - no kisses on the screen or no poses for the photographs with his lady actresses for the covers of magazines and so on but he's having a very good rapport with all the filmi personalities in the Bollywood and is highly respected for his manners and life-style off the screen.

And the awards he got for his films are - "Best Actor Award" in '93 for "Baazigar", "Best Villain Award" in '94 for "Anjaam", FILMFARE's "Best Actor Award" in '96 for "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge", "Best Actor" from FILMFARE in '97 for "Dil To Pagal Hi", "Best Actor Award" in '97 for "Dil To Pagal Hi" from LUX ZEE and "Critics Award" for "Kabhi Ha Kabhi Na".
