Shah Rukh Khan has captured the hearts of Bollywood moviegoers since his first screen appearance in Mad Love. King Khan, King of Bollywood, Badshah are just a few titles that have been awarded to his loyal fans. After his dizzying debut, Shah Rukh Khan continued his successful career in Bollywood, still being the largest figure in the Indian film industry and one of the most famous Indian in the world.
Biography, career and achievements
Shah Rukh Khan (the actor himself prefers to write his name as "Shah Rukh Khan") was born on November 2, 1965 in Delhi. His parents died before their son took over the film industry. In interviews, the actor often says that he regrets that his parents could not see who their son has become.
He was trained as an economist at the University of Delhi and then went on to study for a master's degree in Mass Communication at the University of New Delhi. However, after a year of study, Shah Rukh decided to leave his studies and devote himself to an acting career.
Shuhrukh Khan successfully debuted as an actor on television in the series Fauji (1988) and Circus (1989). His big-screen debut was supposed to be Cabaret Dancer, but filming was delayed. As a result, the first on the screens in 1992 was another film with his participation, "Mad Love", in which he played along with the Bollywood stars Divya Bharti and Rishi Kapoor. The film earned him national fame, his first Filmafare Award for Best Debut, and kicked off his many years of successful film career.
In 1993, Shah Rukh Khan decided to take a risky step for the young actor - he agreed to play negative roles in the films "Life in Fear" and "Playing with Death". Life in Fear was the first collaboration with Yash Raj Films, which later presented the actor with his major hits. The film "Play with Death", where Shah Rukh Khan played the role of the avenger who killed a girl in love with him, shocked the Indian audience with an unusual cruelty by the standards of the time. For this role, Shah Rukh Khan received another Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
However, Shah Rukh Khan's main film, which earned him the title of King of Bollywood, was the 1995 romantic comedy The Untrained Bride. He is still considered a cult among fans of Indian cinema. In 2002, Shah Rukh Khan starred in the adaptation of the famous Indian novel Devdas, sharing the screen with Aishwarya Rai. This film not only became financially successful, but also brought him international fame.
Subsequently, Shah Rukh Khan consolidated his title of king of the box office with the hits "Everything in Life Happens" (1998); Om Shanti Om (2007), Go India! (2007); “This couple was created by God” (2010) and “My name is Khan” (2010), as well as many others.
Personal life
Shah Rukh Khan has been a loyal and loving husband for several decades. The main love of his life and future wife, Gauri Chibber, went to the same school as the future favorite of India. In 1991, after 6 years of relationship, the lovers played a traditional Indian wedding.
Their family is still a model of love and harmony for everyone who is interested in the actor's personal life.
Shah Rukh Khan is Muslim, while his wife is a Hindu. According to the actor, while staying true to his religion, he also respects the religious views of his wife.
The couple are raising their children to be tolerant of both religions. The Khan couple have three children. Their firstborn son Aryan was born in 1997. The next was Suhana's daughter, who was born in 2000. In 2013, the couple became parents for the third time - their family was replenished with another son named Abram, who was carried by a surrogate mother for the spouses.
Other projects
In 1999, Shah Rukh Khan, together with actress Juhi Chawla, founded his own production company Dreamz Unlimited. Their first two projects "Quivering Hearts" (2000) and "Emperor" (2001) failed at the box office. The third film under the label of this production house was Roads of Love (2003), which was a moderate success at the box office.
In 2003, Shah Rukh Khan founded a new company, Red Chillies Entertainment, with his wife Gauri. The first film under their banner, "I'm by your side" (2003) was a huge success at the box office.
Shah Rukh Khan's two most recent acting jobs are the crime drama Get Rich, in which he plays an underground smuggler, and the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sejal (both films released in 2017). While "Get Rich" brought the actor financial success and earned laudable reviews, the second film flopped at the box office and received negative reviews from critics who reacted negatively to the fact that the actor's romantic partner in the film, Anushka Sharma, was 22 years younger than him. They also considered that Khan "has been repeating the same romantic image for decades."
At this time, Shah Rukh Khan has finished filming the new film "Zero", which will be released in December 2018. According to the Mumbai Mirror website, the actor's next project will be a biopic about Indian astronaut Rakesh Sharma, called Salute. The release of the film is scheduled for 2019.
