"King Khan." "The Shah." "The Man With The Midas Touch." These are just few of the adjectives used on this strapping, young lad from Delhi who first stole hearts with his endearing performance as Abhimanyu in the TV serial 'Fauji.' With a passion for acting and an amazing screen presence, Shahrukh Khan has come a long way since the days he would mimic film actress Mumtaz and recite shaayri (Urdu poetry) for his father.

With a lifestyle that could be featured on "The Rich And Famous" and an attitude to boot, Shahrukh is known to be one of the most in-your-face men in the Hindi film industry today. Securing his break with Hema Malini's debut directorial venture, 'Dil Aashna Hai' which although was a disaster, Shahrukh rose to the top in a few years time only after 'Deewana' became a hit. 

He later dazzled audiences with his emotionally-charged performances in films like 'Darr' where he played a deranged man obsessed with a girl and 'Baazigar,' where he was a young man seeking vengeance. Born on November 2, 1965 Shahrukh is a true scorpion. 

Shahrukh's mother was educated at Oxford. With an elder sister, Shehnaz, Shahrukh claims to have had a decent childhood. The name Shah Rukh means `the countenance of a prince.' Now you know! He's not called Baadshah fro nothing! His father was a chief engineer and his mother, a social worker and a magistrate.

Although, the family was going through financial troubles at a time, Shahrukh does not remember his family putting the kids through any hardships. Shahrukh studied at St.Stephens college in Delhi and came to be associated with the city for a long time. Moving to Mumbai was a dream come true and Shahrukh playing similar roles obviously bore autobiographical references

Clear about his goals, he informed his mother of his decision to act and was never prevented from doing so. He had secured admission at the National School Of Drama, a premier institution then and pursued a masters in filmmaking from Jamia Millia Islamia.

With a family backing him, there was no stopping Shahrukh. He remembers being bad at Hindi, a crime if he were to enter the industry and was encouraged by his mom to excel at it. Shahrukh remembers, "She (my mother) used to tell me, "If you get ten out of ten, Ill take you to a movie." The first film Shahrukh remembers watching with her was Dev Anand's 'Joshilay.'

That fuelled his passion for films and Shahrukh, the wannabe, was to take Bollywood by storm. Shahrukh claims to have participated in Ram Leela functions and dressed up as a monkey to get the feel of the stage.
