Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh KhanThe best actor in India. Noone can beat his acting in romance. He will try hard as much as possible.He have taken many risks also.I am a big fan of him.He was admitted in hospital now he is feeling better. Shahrukh Khan's father Taj Mohammed Khan was a freedom activist of Hindkowan background, and Lateef Fatima, who was the adopted daughter of Major General Shah Nawaz Khan of the Janjua Rajput clan, who served as a General in the Indian National Army of Subash Chandra Bose.

Khan's father came to Delhi from the Kissa Kahani Bazaar in Peshawar now in Pakistan, before the Partition of India, while his mother's family came from Rawalpindi, also in Pakistan. Khan has a sister named Lalarukh. Khan attended St. Columba's School where he was accomplished in sports, drama and academics. He won the Sword of Honour, an annual award bequeathed to the student who embodies most the spirit of the school. He later attended the Hansraj College (1985-1988) to earn an Honors degree in Economics. After this, he studied for a Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia University.

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. Recently another book Still Reading Khan (2006) was released on SRK which talks about his family and his life.

Khan's life-size wax statue is available in Madame Tussauds wax museum, London, installed in April 2007. Khan has been chosen for the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of the Arts and Literature) award of the French government for his "exceptional career"

Career

He started his acting career in 1988 by appearing in the television series Fauji playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai. He then played a role in the serial Circus in 1989, which depicted the life of circus performers. That same year he also had a minor role in the television film In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones, written by Arundhati Roy and based on the life in Delhi University. After the death of his parents Khan moved from New Delhi to Mumbai for a fresh start in 1991. He made his Bollywood film debut in Deewana (1992) which was a box office hit and launched his career in Bollywood. His debut performance won him a Filmfare Best Debut Award.

In 1993 he won acclaim for his performances as a murderer and obsessive lover respectively in the box office hits Baazigar and Darr. He won his first Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance in Baazigar. He was also appreciated for his role as a young loser in Kundan Shah's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa which earned him the Filmfare Best Actor Award (critics) that same year. In 1994 Khan once again played an obsessive lover/psycho role in Anjaam. However, even though the movie wasn't a box office success Khan's performance in a negative role earned him the Filmfare Best Villain Award.

In 1995 he starred in the romantic film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which was a critical and commercial success and has entered its twelfth year in Mumbai theaters, grossing over 12 billion rupees in all, making it as one of the biggest film blockbusters.

Khan went on to collaborate with directors Yash Chopra and Karan Johar and starred in many of their films in the romantic and drama genre, several of which were box office hits, 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). He also had some success working with directors like Aziz Mirza with whom he had success with Yes Boss (1997) and Mansoor Khan with whom he had a hit with Josh (2000).

Khan also won critical praise for his performances in films such as Anjaam (1994), Dil Se(1998), Swades (2004) and Paheli (2005) which were not as successful at the box office. He is also well-known for playing the title role as the tragic lover Devdas in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's award-winning period romance Devdas (2002) which was an adaptation of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's famous novel of the same name.
