From playing a young soldier in Fauji to becoming one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Shah Rukh Khan's story is one that never fails to make people smile. The actor was just a Delhi boy with restless energy and lofty aspirations before the world dubbed him "King Khan." Born and raised in the capital, he first appeared on television with Fauji in 1989, where he played Abhimanyu Rai, a role that instantly connected with viewers.
After Fauji, he appeared in Circus and a few other shows before stepping into films. In 1992, Khan made his Bollywood debut with Deewana, which not only introduced him to Hindi cinema but also earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.
Then came the turning point: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in 1995. As Raj, the charming NRI who falls in love on a trip to Europe, Shah Rukh really showed what romance looked like on screen and became the ultimate "King of Romance" for an entire generation. Since then, the actor has continued to deliver countless memorable performances in films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Swades, Devdas, and My Name Is Khan.
