Mini Biography
Shahrukh Khan is an international superstar born on 2nd November 1965 to Mir Taj Muhammad Khan and Lateef Fatima in New Delhi, India. His mother believed her son was destined to be a great actor often citing resemblance between Khan and Dilip Kumar , Bollywood legend. His name literally translated into ‘Face of the King’. Born and brought up in Delhi, he was brilliant student and an all rounder. At St. Columba’s School he won the prestigious ‘Sword of Honour’. After sustaining a football injury in school, he decided started to consider acting as a career. He graduated with honors in Economics from Hansraj College and did his masters in mass communications from Jamiya Miliya Islamia. Khan then went on to study theatre under the reputed Mr. Barry John whom he credits for carving out the actor inside him but his mentor considers his pupil as being solely responsible for his greatness and glory citing Shahrukh to have the perfect combination of ‘talent, perseverance, belief in yourself, a never-give-up-attitude and of course, a bit of luck’; factors needed for success. He began his journey by landing the lead role of a commando in 1988 drama series ‘Fauji’ which was followed by Circus and Dil Dariya.

After a few more films which did badly at the box office, Khan made the unique choice to opt for negative roles and played obsessive, somewhat psychotic characters in ‘Darr’, ‘Baazigar’ and Anjaam. To everyone’s surprise the films were massive hits and Shahrukh earned his first Best Actor awardand was also nominated in the villainous role category. The same year he bagged the Critics Award for best performance in ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’, a film he often recalls as amongst his favorites.
