Khan attended [[St Columba's School (Delhi)|St. Columba's School]] where he was accomplished in sports, drama, and academics. He won the ''Sword of Honour'', an annual award given to the student who best represents the spirit of the school. Khan later attended the [[Hansraj College]] (1985-1988) and earned his [[Economics]] (honors). Though he pursued a [[Masters Degree]] in [[Mass Communication]]s at [[Jamia Millia Islamia]], he later opted out to make his career in [[Bollywood]].{{cite web |url=http://www.indiafm.com/features/2006/11/02/1777 |title=Facts you never knew about SRK |author=IndiaFM News Bureau |publisher=[[indiaFM]] |date=2 November 2006 |accessdate=2008-06-26}}
After the death of his parents, Khan moved to [[Mumbai]] in 1991.{{cite web |work=zeenews.com |title=Shah Rukh Khan turns 42 |url=http://www.zeenews.com/znnew/articles.asp?aid=404915&sid=ZNS&sname=exclusive-news |accessdate=2 November |accessyear=2007}} In that same year, before any of his films were released, he married [[Gauri Khan|Gauri Chibber]] (who is a Hindu) in a traditional [[Hindu wedding]] ceremony on 25 October 1991.{{cite web |url= http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2006/11/17/stories/2006111701130100.htm |title=Much ado about King Khan |date=17 November 2006 |author=Siddiqui, Rana |publisher=The Hindu |accessdate=2008-02-09}} They have two children, son Aryan Khan (b. 1997) and daughter Suhana (b. 2000). According to Khan, while he strongly believes in [[Allah]], he also values his wife's religion. At home, his children follow both religions, with the [[Qur'an]] being situated next to the Hindu gods.{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4274774.stm |title=Who's the real Shah Rukh Khan? |author=Zubair Ahmed |publisher=BBC News - BBC |date=23 September 2005 |accessdate=2008-08-26}}{{cite web |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py7sFkIGi-k |title=Shahrukh Khan Muslim |publisher=YouTube |date=9 April 2007}}
In 2005, [[Nasreen Munni Kabir]] produced a two-part [[Documentary film|documentary]] on Khan, titled ''[[The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan]]''. Featuring his 2004 Temptations concert tour, the film contrasted Khan's inner world of family and daily life with the outer world of his work. The book ''Still Reading Khan'', which details his family life, was released in 2006. Another book by [[Anupama Chopra]], "King of Bollywood: Shahrukh Khan and the seductive world of Indian cinema", was released in 2007. This book described the world of Bollywood through Khan's life.
Khan has been awarded a number of honours. In April 2007, a life-size wax statue of Khan was installed at the ''[[Madame Tussauds]] Wax Museum'', [[London]].{{cite web|url=http://www.madame-tussauds.co.uk/shah_rukh_khan.htm|title=Shah Rukh Khan Now Live At Madame Tussauds}} During the same year, he was accorded the [[Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]] (Order of the Arts and Literature) award by the French government for his “exceptional career”.{{cite web |url=http://www.indiafm.com/news/2007/06/21/9619 |title=Shah Rukh Khan to be honoured by French Govt.}}

Khan was honored for "promoting tourism in Malacca" by filming ''[[One Two Ka Four]]'' there in 2001. Some were critical of this decision.{{cite news|title= Shah Rukh to accept Malaysian Datukship in person|date=2008-10-21|publisher=Zee News|url=http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=477810&sid=ENT&ssid=1|accessdate=2008-10-23}}
==Film career==
===Background===
Khan studied acting under celebrated Theatre Director Barry John at Delhi's Theatre Action Group (TAG). In 2007, John commented thus on his former pupil that, "The credit for the phenomenally successful development and management of Shahrukh's career goes to the superstar himself."{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=f9c017a9-918d-45bf-9162-f147e9fec513&MatchID1=4502&TeamID1=2&TeamID2=6&MatchType1=1&SeriesID1=1122&PrimaryID=4502&Headline='Theatre+is+at+an+all-time+low+in+Delhi'|title=Shahrukh's teacher gives him the credit}}
Khan made his acting debut in 1988 when he appeared in the television series, ''[[Fauji]]'', playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai.{{cite web|url=http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/television/2002/october/32887.htm|title=The camera chose Shah Rukh Khan}} He went on to appear in several other television serials, most notably in the 1989 serial, [[Aziz Mirza]]'s ''Circus'', which depicted the life of circus performers.{{cite web|title=bbc.co.uk|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2204900.stm|work=Shahrukh goes global|accessdate=7 september|accessyear=2007}} The same year, Khan also had a minor role in the [[made-for-television]] English-language film, ''[[In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones]]'', which was based on life at Delhi University and was written by [[Arundhati Roy]].
===1990s===
Upon moving from New Delhi to [[Mumbai]] in 1991,{{cite web|url=http://www.time.com/time/asia/2004/heroes/hshah_rukh_khan.htm|title=Bollywood's Brightest Star}} Khan made his Bollywood movie debut in ''[[Deewana]]'' (1992). The movie became a box office hit, and launched his career in Bollywood.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=198&catName=MTk5Ng==|title=Box Office 1992|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}
His performance won him a [[Filmfare Best Male Debut Award]]. His second movie, ''[[Maya Memsaab]]'', generated some controversy because of his appearance in an "explicit" sex scene in the movie.{{cite web|url=http://gorilla.coldfusionvideo.com/?p=99|title=Through the looking glass}}
In 1993, Khan won acclaim for his performances in villainous roles as an obsessive lover and a murderer, respectively, in the box office hits, ''[[Darr]]'' and ''[[Baazigar]]''.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=199&catName=MTk5Mw==|title=Box Office 1993|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2008-04-20}} ''Darr'' marked his first collaboration with renowned film-maker [[Yash Chopra]] and his banner [[Yash Raj Films]], the largest production company in Bollywood. ''Baazigar'', which saw Khan portraying an ambiguous avenger who murders his girlfriend, shocked its Indian audience with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula.{{cite web|url=http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2005/oct/18sld4.htm|title=Shah Rukh's Best Movies|publisher=Rediff.com|accessdate=2008-04-20}} His performance won him his first [[Filmfare Best Actor Award]]. In that same year, Khan played the role of a young musician in [[Kundan Shah]]'s ''[[Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa]]'', a performance that earned him a [[Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance]]. Khan maintains that this is his all-time favourite among the movies he has acted in.{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=d64ec412-a1cd-44ca-909f-84e8cb73447b&MatchID1=4567&TeamID1=6&TeamID2=1&MatchType1=2&SeriesID1=1145&PrimaryID=4567&Headline=iKabhi+Haan+Kabhi+Naa%2fi+is+special%3a+SRK|title=Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is very special, says Shahrukh Khan}} In 1994, Khan once again played an obsessive lover/psycho's role in ''[[Anjaam]]'', co-starring alongside [[Madhuri Dixit]]. Though the movie was not a box office success, Khan's performance earned him the [[Filmfare Best Villain Award]].{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=200&catName=MTk5NA==|title=Box Office 1994|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2008-04-20}}
In 1995, Khan starred in [[Aditya Chopra]]'s directorial debut ''[[Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge]]'', a major critical and commercial success, for which he won his second Filmfare Best Actor Award.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/cpages.php?pageName=all_time_earners|title=All Time Earners Inflation Adjusted (Figures in Ind Rs)|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.com|accessdate=2008-01-10}} In 2007, the film entered its twelfth year in [[Mumbai]] [[Movie theater|theaters]]. By then the movie had grossed over 12 [[1000000000 (number)|billion]] [[rupee]]s, making it as one of India's biggest movie blockbusters.{{cite web|work=planetbollywood.com|title=´DDLJ´ Enters The Thirteenth Year At The Theaters!|url=http://www.planetbollywood.com/displayArticle.php?id=011307064804|accessdate=14 January|accessyear=2007}}
1996 was a disappointing year for Khan as all his movies released that year failed to do well at the box office.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=202&catName=MTk5Ng==|title=Box Office 1996|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}} This was, however, followed by a comeback in 1997. He saw success with [[Subhash Ghai]]'s social drama ''[[Pardes (film)|Pardes]]'' -- one of the biggest hits of the year-- and [[Aziz Mirza]]'s comedy ''[[Yes Boss]]'', a moderately successful feature.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=203&catName=MTk5Ng==|title=Box Office 1997|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}} His second project with [[Yash Chopra]] as a director, ''[[Dil to Pagal Hai]]'' became that year's second highest-grossing
movie, and he won his third [[Filmfare Best Actor Award]] for his role as a stage director who falls in love with one of his new actresses.
In 1998, Khan starred in [[Karan Johar]]'s directoial debut, ''[[Kuch Kuch Hota Hai]]'', which was the biggest hit of the year.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=204&catName=MTk5Ng==|title=Box Office 1998|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}} His performance won him his fourth Best Actor award at the [[Filmfare Awards|Filmfare]]. He won critical praise for his performance in [[Mani Ratnam]]'s ''[[Dil Se]]''. The movie did not do well at the Indian box office, though it was a commercial success overseas.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/cpages.php?pageName=overseas_earners|title=Overseas Earnings (Figures in Ind Rs)|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2008-01-10}}
Khan's only release in 1999, ''[[Baadshah]]'', was an average grosser.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=205&catName=MTk5Ng==|title=Box Office 1999|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}
===2000s===
Khan's success continued with [[Aditya Chopra]]'s 2000 film, ''[[Mohabbatein]]'', co-starring [[Amitabh Bachchan]]. It did well at the box office, and Khan's performance as a college teacher won him his second [[Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance|Critics Award for Best Performance]]. He also starred in [[Mansoor Khan]]'s action film ''[[Josh (2000 film)|Josh]]''. The film starred Khan as the leader of a Christian gang in [[Goa]] and [[Aishwarya Rai]] as his twin sister, and was also a box office success.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=206&catName=MjAwMA==|title=Box Office 2000|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}} In that same year, Khan set up his own production house, ''Dreamz Unlimited'' with [[Juhi Chawla]] ([[Shahrukh Khan#Producer|see below]]). Both Khan and Chawla starred in the first movie of their production house, ''[[Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani]]''. His work with [[Karan Johar]] continued as he collaborated on the family drama ''[[Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham]]'' which was the second biggest hit of the year. He also received favorable reviews for his performance as Emperor [[Asoka]] in the historical epic, ''[[Asoka (2001 film)|Asoka]]'', a partly fictionalised account of the life of Ashoka the Great ([[304 BC|304 BC]]–[[232 BC|232 BC]]).{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=207&catName=MjAwMA==|title=Box Office 2001|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}}
In 2002, Khan received acclaim for playing the title role in [[Sanjay Leela Bhansali]]'s award-winning period romance, ''[[Devdas (2002 film)|Devdas]]''. It was the third Hindi movie adaptation of [[Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay]]'s well-known novel [[Devdas|of the same name]], and surfaced as one of the biggest hits of that year.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=208&catName=MjAwMA==|title=Box Office 2002|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}} Khan also starred opposite [[Salman Khan]] and [[Madhuri Dixit]] in the family-drama ''[[Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam]]'', which did well at the box office.

Khan's performance in this movie as a man with a fatal heart disease was appreciated. The movie proved to be one of the year's biggest hits in India and Bollywood's biggest hit in the overseas markets.
2004 was a particularly good year for Khan, both commercially and critically. He starred in [[Farah Khan]]'s directorial debut, the comedy ''[[Main Hoon Na]]''. The movie did well at the box office. He then played the role of an Indian officer, Veer Pratap Singh in [[Yash Chopra]]'s love saga ''[[Veer-Zaara]]'', which was the biggest hit of 2004 in both India and overseas.{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=210&catName=MjAwMA==|title=Box Office 2004|publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com|accessdate=2007-01-10}} The film relates the love story of Veer and Pakistani woman Zaara Haayat Khan, played by [[Preity Zinta]].

==Producer==
Khan turned producer when he set up a production company called ''[[Dreamz Unlimited]]'' with [[Juhi Chawla]] and director [[Aziz Mirza]] in 1999. The first two of the films he produced and starred in: ''[[Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani]]'' (2000) and ''[[Asoka (2001 film)|Asoka]]'' (2001) were box office failures.
