Shahrukh Khan, born on 2 November 1965, to Mir Taj Muhammad Khan and Lateef Fatima, is one of the biggest movie stars in the world. Hailing from Delhi, Shahrukh Khan attended St. Columba’s School and graduated from Hansraj College, Delhi University. After Hansraj, Shahrukh pursued a Master’s degree in Mass Communication at Jamia Millia Islamia, but left it mid-way to pursue his passion for acting. During his early days in acting, Shahrukh also attended the National School of Drama in Delhi. After his stints in theatre and televisions, in the early 90s, Shahrukh got a breakthrough in Bollywood and he, unapologetically, portrayed the role of a murderer in 'Baazigar', a love-struck stalker in 'Darr' and 'Anjaam'. This self-made actor, with no god-like-figure in the film fraternity, continued to portray the anti-hero roles but his boy-next-door role in ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ changed his image and well, the rest as they say is history. Portraying similar roles in a succession of happily-ever-after hits, Shahrukh Khan, inarguably, convinced the audience that he is, quite, the messiah of love. Shahrukh Khan married Gauri Chibber in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony on 25 October 1991 and they have three children: Aryan, Suhana and AbRam. While Shahrukh has acted in 75 Hindi films, he has won several awards and in 2005, he was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India. Also, the Government of France has conferred him with both, Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (2007) and the Legion d’honneur (2014).
