Quick biography

Shah Rukh Khan was born on November 2, 1965, in New Delhi, India. He began acting on television, debuting in the series Fauji in 1989, before moving to films with Deewana in 1992.

Known as the “King of Bollywood” and “King Khan”, he has appeared in more than 80 films. His 1995 romance Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge became one of Indian cinema’s most beloved films, and his 2023 comebacks Pathaan and Jawan were among the biggest Hindi blockbusters ever. He is also co-owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders cricket team.

Khan lost both parents relatively young and has spoken about how that shaped his drive. After television success he took risky early film roles as anti-heroes in Baazigar and Darr (both 1993), which proved his range before he became the romantic lead of a generation. He later founded the production company Red Chillies Entertainment, and his sea-facing Mumbai home Mannat is a landmark fans visit daily.
