Biography
Born into a Muslim family of Pathan origin in Delhi, Shahrukh Khan has a Masters Degree in Mass Communication from Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi. His wife is Gauri Khan (formerly Gauri Chibber), a Punjabi from Delhi. He has a son named Aryan Khan (born November 13, 1997), who made his movie debut in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). He also has a daughter named Suhana Khan (born May 22, 2000).
Career
Shahrukh, as he is commonly known, first came to the fore while appearing on various television series, particularly when playing the role of 'Abhimanyu' in Fauji (Soldier) in 1988; he also had a minor role in Circus in 1989, which depicted the life of circus performers. He made his movie debut in 1992 with Deewana. In 1993 he shot to stardom with two successive villain roles as a paranoid lover in Baazigar and Darr. 1995 proved to be a defining year in his career, with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge firmly positioning him as the most successful actor in hindi romantic movies. He followed DDLJ with a string of successes, love stories which included Pardes, Dil to Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Mohabbatein.
His association with director/producer Yash Chopra has resulted in successes such as Darr, Dil To Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein and Veer-Zaara. He also found success working with Karan Johar and Yash Johar on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
Shahrukh is known as a convincing screen lover, and seems to spark equally good performances from his female co-stars - he has good screen chemistry with his heroines.
Each of the five movies in which he co-starred with actress Kajol were box office successes.
His association with Madhuri Dixit in several movies has also been commercially successful, most notably in Dil to Pagal Hai and Devdas.
He played opposite Rani Mukerji in the hits Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Chalte Chalte.
Despite his success, some have criticized Shahrukh for sticking to "safe" romantic roles (such as his roles in Karan Johar's films). With Swades, Khan took a different type of role.
Shahrukh co-owns a production company called Dreamz Unlimited with actress Juhi Chawla (a friend ever since they co-starred in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman) and film director Aziz Mirza. In 2004 another of his production houses, Red Chillies Entertainment, produced the hit film Main Hoon Na and co-produced Kaal in 2005 with Karan Johar,he also produced Paheli, which was India's selection for the Academy awards consideration in the foreign films category.
In addition to acting, Shahrukh regularly appears on stage as a performer or host throughout India and abroad, sometimes showcasing his former movies. His popular world-tour, "Temptations 2004", included celebrities such as Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta, model Arjun Rampal and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra and was a commercial success internationally.
Nasreen Munni, the noted British filmmaker, recently produced a two-part documentary on Shahrukh, "The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan". Featuring his 2004 Temptations concert tour, the film contrasts Khan's "inner world" of family and daily life, with the "outer world" of his work.
Awards
Shahrukh has won six Filmfare awards for Best Actor, the most recent being in 2005 for Swades, acting the role of an Indian-American NASA engineer whose life is transformed by his encounters with rural India. 2004 was also a good year for Shahrukh; he acted in three movies, receiving Filmfare nominations for his work in each of them.
His Filmfare Awards include:
Filmfare Power Award 2004

Two of the films in which Shahrukh starred as a leading actor have been India's entry in Hollywood's Oscars. Paheli is the official entry for the 2006 Oscars. Devdas (2002) was an earlier entry.
