When Raj met Simran, love, and Bollywood, was never the same again. One of the most successful films ever made in India, it reaffirmed that Shah Rukh Khan was the best thing that had happened to the Hindi film industry in a long time. Sporting a stubble and a simmering passion, SRK had never acted so convincingly and looked so dishy. Shah Rukhs gritty and restrained portrayal of Kabir Khan, a wronged sportsman trying to prove his patriotism through his beloved game, remains his best performance to date.
Yes, the bitter-sweet victory in the end still makes us tear up.
The line he uses to woo Kajol - Haar ke bhi jeetne wale ko baazigar kehte hain - remains one of the best-known lines in Hindi cinema. Yet here we are, on the actors 50th birthday on November 2, celebrating the superstar who defied incredible odds to become one of the most loved actors on the planet.Ī for Attitude Few mortals can put on a killer attitude and make it look as good as Shah Rukh Khan does.Ĭracking irreverent jokes with a straight face, taking on pompous political parties and boorish sports officials, sticking by his dream project even when it is universally panned, repeatedly announcing his embarrassing levels of affection for his children, slapping petty small-timers into their senses, doing cartwheels when his team wins the IPL - its all in a days work for him.ī for Baazigar In 1992, SRK made his film debut, appearing in the endearing Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and some mediocre fare like Deewana and Dil Aashna Hai.īut it was his role in Baazigar - that of a scheming, vengeful murderer who switches his personality as easily as he changes his contacts - that made him a bonafide star. Khan was, and is, not particularly tall or strikingly handsome or impressively beefy. In candid interviews over the years, an amused Shah Rukh Khan has often recalled this observation, made by a security guard during the actors early years in Bollywood. Tu toh bilkul hero nahi lagta (you dont look like a hero at all).
