Shah Rukh Khan (Hindi: शाहरुख़ ख़ान, Urdu: شاه رخ خان), pronunciation: /ʃɑːhrux xɑːn/ (also known as King Khan), is an Indian actor in Bollywood. He is one of the most prominent actors in Bollywood movies.
Background
Shah Rukh Khan was born to Muslim parents, Taj Mohammed Khan and Lateef Fatima, of Pathan origin, on November 2, 1965, and grew up in the Rajinder Nagar district of New Delhi. His family came from Qissa Khawani Bazaar in Peshawar, before the partition of India. Khan attended St. Columba's School and later the Hansraj College, Delhi (1985-1988) to earn an Honours degree in Economics. Later, he joined a Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi. He is married to Gauri Khan and they have two children, son Aryan Khan and daughter Suhana Khan.
Career
Shah Rukh Khan started his career in 1988 by appearing on various television series such as the war drama series Fauji playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai. He then played a minor role in the serial Circus (1989) which depicted the life of circus performers. He made his film debut in Deewana (1992), where he starred opposite the late actress Divya Bharti.
He got critical acclaim for his performances in Baazigar and Darr (1993), in which he played anti-hero and obsessive-lover roles respectively. In 1995 he starred in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which was a critical and commercial success and remains one of the highest grossing Bollywood films.
After this, Khan frequently collaborated with directors Yash Chopra and Karan Johar and starred in several of their successful films mostly in the romantic genre including Dil to Pagal Hai (1997), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Mohabbatein (2000), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) and Veer-Zaara (2004). Khan also won critical praise for his performances in Anjaam (1994), Dil Se (1998), Hey Ram (2000), Swades (2004), and Paheli (2005). Not all of these films were commercially successful, however.
Khan is also a producer and co-owns a production company called Dreamz Unlimited with actress Juhi Chawla and film director Aziz Mirza as his partners. The first two of the films he produced and starred in which were Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000) and Asoka (2001) were box office failures. . His third film Chalte Chalte (2003) was his first hit as a producer. In 2004 another of his production houses, Red Chilies Entertainment, produced Main Hoon Na which was his second hit from his production houses. He then produced and starred in Paheli (2005), which was India's selection for the Academy Awards (foreign films category) despite doing moderately at the box office.
Nasreen Munni Kabir, the noted British filmmaker, produced a two-part documentary on Shah Rukh, "The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan" (2005). Featuring his 2004 Temptations concert tour, the film contrasted Khan's inner world of family and daily life with the outer world of his work.
In 2006 he again teamed up with Karan Johar for the multi-starrer Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna which has been very successful in India and overseas. He also played the titular role in the hit movie Don, a remake of the 1978 film Don.
In 2007 Khan will take over from Amitabh Bachchan as the host of the game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian version of Who wants to be a millionaire?.
His next film release will be Chuk De India
Awards and nominations
Khan has won six Filmfare awards for Best Actor, the most recent being in 2005 for Swades where he played the role of an Indian-American NASA engineer whose life is transformed by his encounters in rural India. He has received thirteen Filmfare awards in all; in 2004 he had received Filmfare nominations for all his roles of that year.
