Here’s an in-depth look at Shah Rukh Khan’s net worth, his assets, business ventures, and more.
Early Life and Background
Shah Rukh Khan was born on november 2, 1965, in New Delhi, into a diverse cultural background. He is part-Hyderabadi through his mother, part-Pathan from his father’s side, and part-Kashmiri from his grandmother’s side. Initially inclined towards sports, his career aspirations took a turn due to an injury. However, his passion for acting led him to participate in theatre during his college years, where he trained under the guidance of renowned theatre director Barry John.
The Beginning of a Stellar Career
Shah Rukh Khan’s acting journey began with television, though his debut show, 'Dil Dariya' (1988), directed by Lekh Tandon, never aired. Instead, he made his television debut with 'Fauji' (1989), directed by raj Kumar Kapoor. Following this, he appeared in several tv soaps, including Aziz Mirza’s 'Circus' and Mani Kaul’s miniseries 'Idiot'. Despite initially having no plans to work in films, the death of his mother led him to bombay, where he signed four films, starting with Hema Malini’s 'Dil Aashna Hai'. His first release, however, was 'Deewana' in june 1992, which was a massive hit and marked the arrival of the superstar we now know as king Khan.
The Evolution of king Khan
After making a name for himself with several blockbusters in 1992, Shah Rukh Khan entered what can be called his ‘villain era’. In 1993, he took on a negative role in 'Baazigar', earning his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor and establishing the iconic SRK-Kajol pairing. He continued this streak with another dark role in 'Darr', where his portrayal of an obsessive lover left a lasting impression. His performance in 'Anjaam' alongside madhuri Dixit, where he played yet another obsessed lover, won him the Filmfare Best Villain Award in 1994. These roles were particularly risky at the time, as leading actors typically avoided playing antagonists, fearing typecasting.
Crowning the king of Romance
Shah Rukh Khan’s net worth and wealth are deeply intertwined with his romantic roles, which earned him the title of the king of Romance, not just in india but worldwide. The year 1995 was a turning point, with the release of seven films, including 'Karan Arjun' and 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' (DDLJ). The latter became the longest-running film in indian cinema, playing at maratha Mandir in mumbai for over 1,000 weeks. DDLJ also won 10 Filmfare Awards that year, including SRK’s second Best Actor award. This success paved the way for a series of iconic romantic films such as 'Yes Boss', 'Pardes', 'Dil To Pagal Hai', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Mohabbatein', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', and many more.
