Today, Shah Rukh Khan needs no introduction. He is the proverbial King of Romance and has spawned a generation of actors in his footsteps, mimicking his style.
It all began when Shah Rukh made his debut with the 1992-hit Deewana. Despite sharing screen space with Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti, his acting chops coupled with the dimpled smile made hearts melt and filmmakers took note of this 27-year-old man.
Rest, as they say, is history. With a number of films like Baazigar, Darr, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and the most recent, Raees, among others to his credit, Shah Rukh Khan has cemented his place in this industry. Will we witness another SRK in decades to come? Well, chances are bleak.
The superstar completes 25 years in Bollywood today and on the occasion took to Twitter to say, “Went 2 bed early cos been a hectic week.Woke up for no reason & realised I am 25 yrs old.Will deal with all this love tom.Thx for bearing me (sic).”
