Story:
Shah Rukh Khan, often called the “King of Bollywood,” began his journey in a middle-class Delhi household. After losing his father to cancer at 15 and his mother later on, he moved to Mumbai with just a suitcase and a dream to act.
Starting with TV serials like Fauji and Circus, he faced rejection due to his unconventional looks and lack of connections. But his raw talent and relentless drive soon brought him into the limelight with the film Deewana (1992).
Rather than playing safe, he dared to play villains in Darr and Baazigar—a bold move that paid off. His career skyrocketed with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, which became the longest-running film in Indian cinema.
Despite facing personal tragedies, injuries, controversies, and professional lows, SRK reinvented himself time and again—from romantic hero to action star to a global entrepreneur with Red Chillies Entertainment and Kolkata Knight Riders.
