Background
Born into a Muslim family of Pathan origin in Delhi, Shahrukh Khan earned a Masters in Mass Communications from Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi. His wife is Gauri Khan (formerly Gauri Chibba), a Punjabi from Delhi. He has a son named Aryan Khan, and a daughter named Suhana Khan.
Movie Career
SRK first entered the limelight with his role as 'Abhimanyu' in the Tele-serial Fauji (Soldier). He made his movie debut in 1992 with Deewana. In 1993 he shot to stardom in his two successive negative roles as a paranoid lover in Baazigar and Darr. 1995 proved to be a defining year in his career, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge his biggest hit firmly positioned him as the most successful actor in hindi romantic movies. He followed DDLJ with a string of successful love stories, including Pardes, Dil to Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Mohabbatein.
His association with director/producer Yash Chopra has resulted in such successful hits as Darr, Dil To Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein and Veer-Zaara. He has also had success working with Karan Johar and Yash Johar on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho.
Shahrukh has shared good onscreen chemistry with many of his female co-stars. All of the five movies in which he co-starred with actress Kajol were box office hits. His association with Madhuri Dixit in several movies has also been commercially successful, most notably in Anjaam, Koyla, Dil to Pagal Hai and Devdas.
Shahrukh also owns a production house called Dreamz Unlimited along with actress Juhi Chawla (a friend ever since they co-starred in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman) and film director Aziz Mirza. In 2004, his production house Red Chilles Entertainment produced the biggest hit of the year Main Hoon Na.
Despite his success, critics and others have often criticized Shahrukh for sticking to "safe" romantic roles (such as the ones he portrays in all of Karan Johar's films). Swades, however, silenced many of these dissenting opinions; it featured Shahrukh in a low-key and understated performance that was in utter contrast to his previous efforts.

The latest award was given in 2005 for his role in Swades as an Indian-American NASA engineer who finds new meaning in his life when he encounters life in rural India. 2004 has been a good year for the actor.
