Though he achieved instant stardom with his fully fledged debut in the blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak in 1988, he already debuted as a child star in Yaadon Ki Baaraat in 1973.Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak earned him the Filmfare Best Debut Award while, in 1996, he won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for Raja Hindustani after six previous nominations. After losing out for the best-actor award for his role in Rangeela in 1995, Khan decided not to attend any award ceremonies. Khan married his childhood sweetheart, Reena, in 1986 and together they had two children, Junaid and Ira.
In 2002, Khan stunned the world when he suddenly divorced Reena and became romantically involved with Kiran Rao, the assistant director of the Oscar-nominated Lagaan, another movie for which he scooped the Filmfare Best Actor Award. Lagaanpremiered at Sun City in South Africa in 2001.
Khan ventured into production and produced other blockbusters such as Taare Zameen Par, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Peepli Live and Dhobi Ghat. When Khan turned director with Taare Zameen Par in 2007, he made headlines after a fallout with Anmol Gupte, the original director of the movie. Khan took over the reigns and made a masterpiece.
In 2007, the actor turned down an opportunity to have his wax statue showcased at the prestigious Madam Tussauds museum in London. He also made big news a year later when he blogged that his dog, Shahrukh, was licking his feet.
Khan has delivered some of Indian cinema's biggest hits, including Lagaan, Dil Chahta Hai, Ghajini and record-holder 3 Idiots. His forthcoming projects include an untitled project with Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor and Dhoom 3 with Abhishek Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Uday Chopra.
