Shah Rukh Khan also known as SRK or King Khan, born November 2, 1965, New Delhi, India, is a popular Bollywood actor.

Shah Rukh Khan started his career appearing on various television series, particularly when playing the role of ‘Abhimanyu’ in the war drama series Fauji (Soldier) in 1988, a minor role in Circus in 1989, which depicted the life of circus performers etc. The acting stint in Fauji caught the attention of Hema Malini who is said to have recommended his name for his film debut in Dil Aashna Hai which was to be directed by Malini.

However his debut film was the 1992 film Deewana opposite the late actress Divya Bharti which was a big hit. His first film was actually supposed to be Dil Aashna Hai but due to a delay Deewana released first. The same year he appeared in films such as Chamatkar and the controversial art film Maya Memsaab. This film was very controversial because it had an “explicit for Bollywood” sex scene between Khan and actress Deepa Sahi.
