Who is Shah Rukh Khan?
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest names in the Indian film industry.
Starting his journey from a humble background, his meteoric rise in the film industry remains an inspiration for budding actors. A Padmashree awardee, Khan started his journey with a series of appearances in television series in the 1980s.
His debut television series was Lekh Tandon’s ‘Dil Dariya’, which began shooting in 1988, but due to production delays, Raj Kumar Kapoor-directed 1989 series ‘Fauji’ became his television debut.
After his mother’s death, he decided to move to Mumbai from Delhi to pursue a full-time career in Bollywood.
He made his Bollywood debut with ‘Deewana’, and there was no looking back since. The negative roles in ‘Baazigar’ made him a star overnight and the massive success of ‘Darr’ made him a household name.
Today, he is one of the highest-paid Indian actors and making his way to the top richest actors in the world. He was reportedly paid INR 100 crore for his lead role in the upcoming movie ‘Pathaan’.
