Los Angeles Times: Shah Rukh Khan (Born Shahrukh Khan, 2 November 1965), Also Known As SRK, Is An Indian
film actor, producer and television personality. Referred to in the media as "Baadshah of
Bollywood", "King of Bollywood" or "King Khan", he has appeared in more than 80 Bollywood
films. Described by the Los Angeles Times as perhaps "the world's biggest movie star",[3] Khan
has a significant following in Asia and the Indian diaspora worldwide. He was reportedly one of
the richest actors in the world in 2014, with an estimated net worth of US$400600 million, and
his work in Bollywood has earned him numerous accolades, including 14 Filmfare Awards.
Khan started his career with appearances in several television series in the late 1980s. He made
his Bollywood debut in 1992 with Deewana. Early in his career, Khan was recognised for
portraying villainous roles in the films Darr (1993), Baazigar (1993) and Anjaam (1994). He
then rose to prominence after starring in a series of romantic dramas, including Dilwale
Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) and Kabhi
Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001). He earned critical acclaim for his portrayal of an alcoholic in
Devdas (2002), a NASA scientist in Swades (2004), a hockey coach in Chak De! India (2007)
and a man with Asperger syndrome in My Name Is Khan (2010). Many of his films display
themes of Indian national identity and connections with diaspora communities, or gender, racial,
social and religious differences and grievances. For his contributions to film, the Government of
India honoured him with the Padma Shri, and the Government of France awarded him both the
Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and the Lgion d'honneur.
As of 2015, Khan is co-chairman of the motion picture production company Red Chillies
Entertainment and its subsidiaries, and is the co-owner of the Indian Premier League cricket
team Kolkata Knight Riders. He is a frequent television presenter and stage show performer. The
media often label him as "Brand SRK" because of his many endorsement and entrepreneurship
ventures. Khan's philanthropic endeavours have provided health care and disaster relief, and he
was honoured with UNESCO's Pyramide con Marni award in 2011 for his support of children's
education. H
