Personal Life
Shah Rukh Khan was born to Muslim parents, Taj Mohammed Khan and Lateef Fatima, of Pathan (Pashtun) origin,[1] in the Talwar Nursing Home in New Delhi[2]. His family came from Kissa Kahani Bazaar in Peshawar, before the partition of India.[3] He grew up in the Rajinder Nagar district in New Delhi. Khan attended first St. Columba's School and later the Hansraj College[4], Delhi (1985-1988) and earned earned Economics Honours[5] there. Later, he joined a Masters Degree in Mass Communications from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi[6]. He is married to Gauri Khan[7] and they have two children, son Aryan Khan and daughter Suhana Khan[8].
[edit] 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.[9] He then played a minor role in the serial Circus (1989)[10] which depicted the life of circus performers. The acting stint in Fauji caught the attention of Hema Malini who reportedly recruited him to act in the film Dil Aashna Hai which was to be directed by Malini.[citation needed] However this film's release was delayed and his debut film was Deewana (1992), where he starred opposite the late actress Divya Bharti.
He shot to superstar status in 1993 for his performances in Baazigar and Darr, in which he played anti-hero and obsessive-lover roles respectively.
As Raj in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)In 1995 he starred in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge which was a critical and commercial success,[11] 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 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, Dil Se and Swades which were less successful than his earlier hits. Swades and Paheli (both 2005) afforded two examples where Khan attempted to try a different roles, which turned out to be badly received. As a result, Khan has been criticized for sticking to safe romantic roles.
Khan co-owns a production company called Dreamz Unlimited with actress Juhi Chawla and film director Aziz Mirza, who have produced three of his films, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Asoka and Chalte Chalte. With the exception of Chalte Chalte, the others flopped at the box office. In 2004 another of his production houses, Red Chilies Entertainment, produced Main Hoon Na which was his second hit from his own production houses. He then produced and starred in Paheli, which was India's selection for the Academy Awards (foreign films category).
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 [1]. He then played the title role in Don, a remake of the 1978 hit film Don which has also been successful in India and Overseas.
[edit] Awards
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 with rural India. He has received thirteen Filmfare awards in all; in 2004 he had received Filmfare nominations for all his roles of that year.
