Shahrukh Khan

King Khan has come a long way from his television debut days. SRK first entered the limelight with his role as 'Abhimanyu' in the tele-serial Fauji, followed by Circus which portrayed the life of circus performers. He made his movie debut in 1992 with Deewana.However in 1993 he shot to stardom with his two successive negative roles as a paranoid lover in Baazigar and Darr. 1995 proved to be a defining year in his career with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, his biggest hit firmly positioned him as the most successful actor. He followed DDLJ with a string of successful love stories, including Pardes and Dil To Pagal Hai, becoming the quintessential romantic hero.Though he is known to share great on screen chemisty with all his heroines, the way he and Kajol light up the screen together has no present day parallel in Indian cinema.

Though some of his movies like Chahat, Duplicate and Dil Se didn’t do too well at the box office; it proved to be no dent on his career. Dil Se did not do commercially too well, but the song Chaiya Chaiya proved to be successful for Shahrukh, as the track became a rage.

Then came Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Not only was the movie a colossal hit, it set the course for a long and successful association between Shahrukh Khan and the director of the movie, Karan Johar. Together, the two went on to give bigger hits with Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and Kal Ho Naa Ho. Today Shahrukh has worked with every big director in the country. From period eponymous roles like that in Asoka to that of a doomed hero with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas, Shahrukh has constantly reinvented himself over the years.

In 2004 Shahrukh was seen romancing Sushmita Sen as Major Ram Prasad Sharma in Main Hoon Na. Towards the end of the year came Ashutosh Gowariker’s Swades, where Shahrukh’s understated performance as Mohan Bhargava won him a Filmfare in 2005. Taking National repute to another level, Amol Palekar’s Paheli, where Shahrukh plays the friendly ‘ghost’ has been picked as the official entry from India for the Oscar’s this year. Constantly on his way up, Shahrukh’s forthcoming releases include Karan Johar’s Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Farhan Akhtar’s Don and Happy New Year in 2006.
Married to Gauri Khan, they stay in Mumbai with their two children, Aryan and Suhana.
