Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan had a love marriage. In an interview, Gauri disclosed that their families presented numerous challenges due to their religious disparities. She also mentioned that her mother strongly opposed her marriage to Shah Rukh, causing further difficulties. Gauri said,

We were so young and then to take a decision to get married and to a person who is going to join films, and being from a different religion.”

According to Gauri, Shah Rukh had once adopted the name “Abhinav” to convince her parents that he was a Hindu. She said,

We changed his name to Abhinav so they (her parents) feel he is a Hindu boy but that was really silly and very childish.”

According to Mustaq Sheikh’s book “Shah Rukh Can,” Shah Rukh altered his name to “Jeetendra Kumar Tulli” to marry Gauri according to Hindu wedding rituals; this name was a tribute to the legendary stars Jeetendra and Rajendra Kumar, whose full name is Rajendra Kumar Tulli. Another reason behind this choice was Shah Rukh’s grandmother’s belief that he bore a striking resemblance to Jeetendra. Similarly, for their Muslim wedding ceremony, Gauri also had to change her name from Gauri to Ayesha. [4] Zee News

Recent News

Shah Rukh Khan (born November 2, 1965, Delhi , India) is an Indian actor known for his powerful screen presence. He is one of the most sought-after Bollywood actors. To his millions of fans worldwide , he is “King Khan.”

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in economics from Hans Raj College, University of Delhi , and beginning a master’s degree in mass communications, Khan dropped out of academic studies to pursue a career in acting . He entered the film industry through work in theater and television. His first acting jobs were in television serials such as Fauji (1988; in the role of a commando) and Circus (1989), which won him instant recognition. Khan lost his father, Meer Taj Mohammad Khan, in 1981, when he was just 15, and his mother, Lateef Fatima Khan, in 1991. He married Gauri Chibber (now Gauri Khan) in 1991 and moved to Mumbai that same year, venturing into Bollywood. His breakthrough movie was Deewana (1992; “Crazy”), and it marked the turning point in his acting career.

Initially, Khan’s success was based on his antihero portrayals in Baazigar (1993; “Gambler”) and Darr (1993; “Fear”). He rejected the image of the conventional hero in both films and created his own version of the villain. This is something that can also be witnessed in his later films. In many films, however, he assumed the role of hero and helped create such blockbusters as Dilwale dulhania le jayenge (1995; “The Big-Hearted Will Take Away the Bride”), Karan Arjun (1995), Dil to pagal hai (1997; “The Heart Is Crazy”), Kuch kuch hota hai (1998; Something Is Happening ), Devdas (2002), Kal ho naa ho (2003; “Tomorrow May Never Come”), Veer-Zaara (2004), Chak de! India (2007; “Go, India!”), My Name Is Khan (2010), and Jab tak hai jaan (2012; “As Long as I Live”), the last film directed by Yash Chopra . In many of those films, Khan played the role of a sensitive lover or son. He also met success in comedic roles in films such as Chamatkar (1992; “Miracle”), Yes Boss (1997), Duplicate (1998), and Chennai Express (2013). Also noteworthy is his role as the emperor Ashoka in Ashoka the Great (2001). Khan’s other movies include Happy New Year (2014), an action comedy centering on a dance competition, and the crime drama Raees (2017), in which he played a bootlegger. After a hiatus of about four years from playing lead roles in movies, Khan made a comeback with two larger-than-life thrillers in 2023: Pathaan (“ Pashtun ”) and Jawan (“Soldier”). In Pathaan Khan played an undercover Indian agent who is on a mission to defend his country against a group of terrorists, and in Jawan , a thriller with multiple twists, Khan, in a double role, took on corrupt government officials to rid society of its evils. With these two movies, Khan delivered back-to-back box office hits, breaking many domestic records. Some of the films in which Khan has starred, including Devdas , Chennai Express , and Jawan , have been produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, which Khan cofounded with Gauri Khan, his wife, in 2002.

In 2005 Khan was presented the Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian awards. By 2023 he had won eight Filmfare Awards in the Best Actor category, in addition to awards in various other categories. Time magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people of 2023.

From the streets of Delhi to becoming the King of Bollywood, take a look at Shah Rukh Khan’s inspiring journey.

Published On Feb 09, 2024 | Updated On Jul 05, 2024

The mere mention of Shah Rukh Khan's name brings an image of charisma, charm, and a heart-melting smile. He is arguably the most loved and popular Bollywood star who has received immense love from his fans over the years. Going by the nicknames of King Khan, Badshah, King of Bollywood, King of Romance, Khan Saab, and SRK, Shah Rukh Khan is an actor of calibre and a man of integrity. However, this celebrated actor of today didn't always have a smooth life. His success is a result of consistency, commitment, grit, determination, and an unwavering belief in his dreams. If you're interested in knowing about the biography of Shah Rukh Khan, here's a nuanced look into his early life, Bollywood debut, and everything else that makes him who he is.  Take a look at Shah Rukh Khan's inspiring biography

Early life of SRK

Son of the independence activist Meer Taj Mohammad Khan and Lateef Fatima, Shah Rukh Khan was born on 2nd November 1965. Shah Rukh Khan's biography tells us that he is half-Hyderabadi and half-Pathan. He spent his childhood in Delhi and completed his schooling at Columba’s School, where he was awarded the Sword of Honour award in recognition of his excellent performance in academics, sports, and co-curricular activities. Shah Rukh Khan's journey then took him to Hansraj College, Delhi, to pursue a degree in Economics. However, owing to his inclination towards acting since childhood (with Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan as his favourites), Shah Rukh spent most of his time at acting gigs with the Delhi Theatre Action group. Eventually, he went to the National School of Drama.

Struggles in his life 

Shah Rukh Khan's stardom and glittery life that we all admire hasn't always been with him. Shah Rukh Khan's journey is full of hardships, and the most significant of these is perhaps losing his mother at a young age. Being born in a middle-class family in Delhi, Shah Rukh saw a lot of hardships on a financial level as well.  However, he was never one to succumb to adversities. Shah Rukh Khan's biography is so inspiring because it constantly shows us his efforts at creating a better life. After his mother's demise, Shah Rukh found solace in storytelling and theatre. He was a natural, and his talent gradually paved the path to his massive success. Soon, he moved to Mumbai with eyes full of drama and a small bag of belongings. Many rejections and underestimating roles later, a star was born that now has an international fandom. 

SRK's acting debut and trajectory 

Shah Rukh Khan’s age was 23 years old when he got his first acting gig for the TV series Dil Dariya in 1988. This was followed by his roles in other soap operas like Fauji (1989) and Circus (1989). The journey of Shah Rukh Khan to become a successful hero then saw him take up roles in mini-series, telefilms, and soap operas like Wagle ki Duniya and Umeed . His phenomenal acting skills soon caught the eye of industry seniors who saw his resemblance with Dilip Kumar.

In 1992, Shah Rukh Khan landed his Bollywood debut with Deewana and then Dilip Ashna Hai . His exceptional performance in these also got him the Best Debut award. Gradually, Shah Rukh was featured in commercial movies like Chamatkar and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman .  In 1993, Shah Rukh Khan opted for two negative roles - Baazigar and Darr . Though people were sceptical initially, once again, with his great calibre even in a negative role, Shah Rukh won hearts and gave two box office hits. 

SRK's blockbuster era 

Having created a mark for himself over the years of struggle and then his marvellous debut, Shah Rukh Khan then had his blockbuster era. The journey of Shah Rukh Khan is well marked in history with his acclaimed performance in movies like Anjaam and K abhi Haan Kabhi Naa , which also fetched him the Best Actor Awards.  The years after this saw him hitting us after hits with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge , Yes Boss, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai , Pardes , Dil Toh Pagal Hai , etc. During this time, Shah Rukh Khan and Yash Chopra were regarded as a powerful duo who created commercially successful hits. 

Rough patches in SRK's career 

With the glorious success, Shah Rukh Khan also had to endure a few rough patches. During the 2000s, he delivered some beautiful performances which were unfortunately unable to perform as expected at the box office.  During this phase, King Khan was dealing with major health issues, and he also had a lot of workload on him. Some of the movies he did during this phase include Duplicate , Asoka , Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani , Badshah , etc. The biography of Shah Rukh Khan should also list his production house Dreamz Unlimited, which was started with high hopes but could yield no significant results. 

Creating a legacy 

Shah Rukh Khan is a celebrated Indian hero whose home entrance gets crowded by hundreds of people on his birthday every year. People wait in anticipation to get just one glance at the superstar and the humble person that he is, Shah Rukh comes to the balcony and waves at his beloved fans. Despite the rough patches in his career, King Khan managed to work on big banner projects with ensemble casts. These include titles like Devdas , Kal Ho Na Ho , Mohabbatein , Chalte Chalte , and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham . Eventually, he stepped into the world of production again, this time with his wife, Gauri Khan, and together they recreated Dreamz Unlimited into Red Chillies Entertainment Limited. Under this banner, Shah Rukh delivered popular movies like Main Hoon Naa and Veer Zara . His movie Swades is often called the best movie of his career. Swades was a widely loved film that also happens to be the first Indian movie to be shot on the NASA campus. Then came hits like Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna , Paheli , Chak De India , Don , Om Shanti Om , and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi .   His box office hits during recent years include Don 2 , Happy New Year , Chennai Express , My Name is Khan , Dilwale, Jab Tak Hai Jaan , etc. Last year, Shahr Rukh made a comeback after four years and gave us sensational like Pathaan and Jawan which were major box office hits. At the age of 58, Shah Rukh Khan is one of the fittest and best-looking people in the entertainment industry. He has beautifully maintained his image of a respectful, consistent, and humble actor who has never been a part of random scams or controversies. A man of true character and integrity, Shah Rukh Khan's journey is noteworthy and deserves to be applauded!

Moving away at age 16 was the best decision of my life. Living in a different environment and meeting so many new people helped me gain a lot of confidence. It’s about being able to do the little things, like walk on the street or take the train-stuff that was so hard to do in Mumbai. But living away also made me appreciate home so much more.”

• In an interview, Shah Rukh Khan discussed his children’s acting aspirations, stating that neither his son nor daughter had been groomed to be actors. However, he revealed that Suhana has a strong inclination towards becoming an actor. She plans to finish school in the next six months, following which she intends to pursue acting training at an educational institute for three to four years. On the other hand, Aryan aspires to make films and become a director, for which he is currently undergoing training in the United States.

Suhana Khan featured on the cover of the Vogue magazine

• In an interview with Vogue, Suhana Khan openly shared her feelings about growing up as a star kid, expressing her dislike for the attention that came with it. She mentioned that she realized early on that her life was different from others, but she never really dwelled on her father’s fame. However, when she was around five years old, her father used to drop her off at school, and she noticed people pointing and staring. She found it confusing that her father wasn’t simply addressed by his name and instead associated with being “Suhana’s dad.” This attention made her self-conscious, leading her to push her father away when he tried to hug her in public. The constant scrutiny and limelight made her develop a dislike for the attention she received as a star kid.

Suhana emphasized that this issue was not just about her but about every young girl and boy who has felt inferior and belittled for no valid reason. She shared some of the hurtful comments made about her appearance and expressed her sadness that even fellow Indians would resort to such behaviour. Unwavering in her confidence, she celebrated her brown skin tone, pointing out that no matter how much one might try to distance themselves from their melanin, it’s an integral part of who they are as Indian. She called out the insecurities behind hating one’s own people and urged everyone to embrace their unique beauty. Suhana’s inspiring message spread positivity and encouraged people to challenge the societal norms and stereotypes associated with beauty. She embraced her 5’3″ stature and brown skin with pride, hoping to empower others to do the same and put an end to colourism once and for all.
• Suhana Khan’s paternal grandfather, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan, hailed from Peshawar and played an essential role as an Indian independence activist. He passionately followed the principles of Abdul Ghaffar Khan and actively campaigned for the Khudai Khidmatgar, a nonviolent resistance movement led by Abdul Ghaffar Khan, with the shared vision of achieving an independent India.
