It’s November 2, 2025, and Shah Rukh Khan turns 60 today.
Mentally, I still live in the year 2000, and to me, Khan isn’t a day older than 35. He’d still fit into those GAP T-shirts and still run after his heroine’s father to seek his blessing. From a maniacal lover in his early years to the eternal romantic hero in the middle, and now a global cultural phenomenon, SRK (as Khan is lovingly called) is easily India’s most universally loved movie star. So, on his 60th birthday, I’ve compiled 60 reasons that made me fall in love with this man on screen. Here we go, in chronological order of his career:
The Early Years: TV, Villainy, and The Daring Debut
1. Quietly Charming India on TV in 1989
In the days before television reached the Ekta Kapoor era of popularity, Shah Rukh Khan quietly entered the scene with a series of projects. While Fauji was the most popular title that got him noticed by the film fraternity, he also had a blink-and-miss part in Arundhati Roy’s TV movie, In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones.
2. Holding His Own in Dil Aashna Hai
Hema Malini’s directorial debut was intended to be Shah Rukh Khan’s big-screen introduction, though it released after Deewana. As per SRK’s friend from the early days, Hema wasn’t too impressed with him when she met him for the first time. But then, the project was already rejected by Aamir and Salman Khan, and she had to begin the shoot. In a film that starred Divya Bharti, the toast of the town, alongside many veteran actors, Shah Rukh Khan still made his magnetic presence felt.
3. That Unforgettable Debut in Deewana
Shah Rukh entered Hindi cinema as the “second hero” (specifically around the film’s interval point) but quickly stole the show. His restless energy, raw charm, and wide-eyed intensity made us sit up and take notice. Even as a newcomer, he didn’t play it safe; he went all out. Somehow, we were all happy when Raj Kanwar (the film’s director) decided to kill off Rishi Kapoor’s character to ensure a happy ending for Khan and his emerging fan base.
4. Building an Enduring Partnership with Juhi and Aziz
Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman was a sweet, harmless film, the type any newcomer would attempt. Yet, it wasn’t without substance. Helmed by Aziz Mirza, the film showcased Shah Rukh’s comic bone, which would later flourish into a trademark. His natural friendship and chemistry with Juhi Chawla were a bonus that later translated into a formidable professional trio.
5. The Daring Choices in Maya Memsaab
A lot has been said about the alleged bold scenes in Ketan Mehta’s film, but its real merit lies in the sharp, tightly knit adaptation of the scandalous 1857 novel Madame Bovary. Khan, it goes without saying, was confidence personified as the young Lalit.
6. Making Us Swoon in Baazigar
Abbas-Mustan approached Anil Kapoor first, who reportedly refused, calling the story “too negative.” Salman Khan echoed the sentiment. A chance encounter led Shah Rukh to hear the thrilling idea from the director duo, which eventually gave birth to the superstar spirit within him. Baazigar was everything an entertainment-starved cine-goer in the 90s wanted: an anti-hero, super-hit songs, punchlines, and loads of entertainment. Khan delivered and took home his first Filmfare Award.
7. The Anthem: ‘Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen’
It’s always a joy to watch Shah Rukh Khan in songs, but Baazigar was the first time his swagger was on full blast, making him look like the world belonged to him. The Anu Malik soundtrack was era-defining, but Khan’s presence in the banger track, ‘Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen,’ was iconic.
8. Creating Darr and Launching the ‘Rahul’ Era
The anti-hero era continued, but this time stepping into the Yash Chopra zone of soft melodies, Swiss meadows, and great clothes. Rahul was maniacal, and we were genuinely scared of him. Strangely, Darr also made us empathize with him. In the climax, where a strong Sunny Deol beats him to a pulp, you still don’t feel like Deol won; the impact of Shah Rukh Khan owned the film in every way.
9. Making Sunil Unforgettable Even on a ₹25,000 Fee
There’s sheer joy in working on something purely for the love of it. In Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, that passion reflects in every frame, which is why Kundan Shah’s film is a highly watched cult classic. Sunil’s everyman pursuit of Anna captured our hearts, and Shah Rukh Khan was all heart throughout.
10. Top-Tier Villainy in Anjaam
Shah Rukh Khan has played negative roles, yet none are quite like Anjaam. Similar in spirit to Darr, this one came minus the velvety softness of beautiful love songs. If there’s something from Khan’s career that is hard to revisit, it’s the climactic stretch where he and Madhuri battle it out. The sheer intensity is impossible to reconcile with the man who sold us eternal (and consensual) love a couple of years later.
11. ‘Mere Karan Arjun Aayenge’…
When Raakhee says such a thing, we know it will happen. In Rakesh Roshan’s thunderous reincarnation saga, Shah Rukh Khan joined forces with Salman Khan for the first time to give Bollywood a memorable hit. Has it aged well? Maybe, but let’s forget the choreography in ‘Jaati Hoon Main.’ Who did that?
12. The Madness of Oh Darling! Yeh Hai India!
Khan returned to work with Ketan Mehta and Deepa Sahi in yet another quirky film that remains an underrated charmer for its relentless parodying of social vices. While it may not have been a commercial crowd-puller, you could easily see what Shah Rukh saw in its quirky appeal.
The Romantic God: Raj, Rahul, and Global Fame
13. Redefining Romance with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
The train, the cowbell, the mustard fields… need I say more? Raj Malhotra became the gold standard for Bollywood romance. And yes, even 30 years later, we still go “Palat!”
14. ‘Ruk Jaa O Dil Deewane’ and the Energy of Young Love
All songs of DDLJ were chartbusters. Yet, if there’s one that perfectly captured Shah Rukh Khan’s youthful vigor, it was ‘Ruk Jaa O Dil Deewane,’ choreographed by Farah Khan. While I doubt that satin turquoise blue gown looked very good on Kajol, Khan was certainly wild fun wooing her in full glory.
15. Romancing the Numero Uno Heroine
Madhuri Dixit was the undisputed number one in the 90s. We didn’t get enough of this lovely duo in Anjaam, where Shah Rukh Khan was utterly loathsome. In the slightly illogical Koyla, their chemistry came alive amid beautiful Rajesh Roshan songs near the scenic Madhuri Lake in Arunachal Pradesh. Khan delivered exactly what was assigned to him in the film. Later, Yash Chopra gave them Dil To Pagal Hai which is now pop-culture gold.
16. Perfectly Capturing Middle-Class Dreams in Yes Boss
It’s not easy for industry-bred stars to play a regular, middle-class character without a put-on layer of effort. This was SRK’s USP in Aziz Mirza’s film. Take the first scene where he bumps into Juhi Chawla, first in his boss’ luxury car and later on a scooter. From that moment until the last, Khan symbolized the hardworking officer-goer that a large chunk of us are today.
17. The Optimism of ‘Chand Taare’
“Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai” in Abhijeet’s voice. Now, that’s a song I wouldn’t buy if filmed on anybody else. It’s not just about where the character showed up from; it’s about the actor’s inherent drive and energy. In Shah Rukh Khan, I see a man who aimed for the ‘chand’ and ‘taare’ from day one, worked towards it while singing about it, and eventually got there.
18. The Eternal Good Boy in Pardes
To bag a film from Subhash Ghai, the numero uno director of the time, meant that Shah Rukh Khan had truly arrived. In this musical family drama, Khan’s character was a derivative of his Yes Boss role, but on a grander, more opulent scale typical of Ghai’s universe. In the bargain, Shah Rukh got great lines, songs, and walked away with the heroine who was betrothed to another man. Now, that’s a very SRK thing to do.
19. Dreams, Dances, and Drama in Dil To Pagal Hai
Half of my childhood was spent wondering why Rahul would ditch the hard-working, practical Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) for Pooja (Madhuri Dixit), whose primary job was ‘khwabon mein aana’. Nisha, I always felt, was a female Shah Rukh Khan. But once we accept that it was Yash Chopra’s prerogative to make his hero fall for the dreamer, Dil To Pagal Hai is a cakewalk. With Uttam Singh’s landmark soundtrack and typical Yash Raj aesthetics, the 1997 film minted big money and took home the awards.
20. That Tender Bond with Farida Jalal
I loved whenever Shah Rukh Khan and Farida Jalal came together. There is an easy, flowing chemistry between the two. In Duplicate and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, they played son and mother. Their comic timing in the former was wonderfully in tandem, while the latter saw them develop a quiet understanding of scenarios. Their connected roles in DDLJ and K3G further prove my observation about this beloved duo.
Versatility, Production, and Iconic Hits
21. Amar’s Passion and Persistence
SRK has had many love stories, yet there’s none like Dil Se. He has had many heroines, and none could match Manisha Koirala’s intense chemistry with him in the Mani Ratnam film. It’s arguably the best SRK love story ever made. From the seven stages of love to the passion that dripped through every frame, the film was a stunner for its time and has aged like fine wine. As AIR employee Amar Kanth Varma, Khan was a bundle of energy.
22. The Hauntingly Beautiful Songs of Dil Se
Armed with a gifted soundtrack by AR Rahman and Gulzar, Dil Se had, collectively, the best songs SRK ever performed in. The numbers were vastly different and brilliantly choreographed by Farah Khan. From the fiery ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ to the lovey-dovey ‘Dil Se Re’ and the poignant ‘E Ajnabi,’ they were all masterpieces. And in the steamy ‘Jiya Jale,’ he was literally ‘sex in a dhoti.’
23. The Double-Trouble Charm of Duplicate
I’m a big fan of Duplicate. There’s a persistent rumor that Karan Johar ghost-directed it because Mahesh Bhatt wouldn’t show up on set. I’m tempted to believe that because many scenes scream Karan Johar. Anu Malik’s super-fun songs are the icing on the cake.
24. Shaping Yet Another Era-Defining Rahul
Javed Akhtar was repulsed by the title of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and refused to work as a lyricist on Karan Johar’s debut. I still don’t understand his predicament. That said, the film added an extra sheen to Khan’s lover boy image created by DDLJ. As the semi-problematic yet charming Rahul, he wooed two women, sang many good songs, and had loads of fun—as did most of us who made the film an All-Time Blockbuster.
25. That COOL Pendant and Super-cool Wardrobe in Films
If there’s one thing Karan Johar knew better than other filmmakers of the ‘90s, it was fashion. The clothes in his films weren’t just for a designer store; you wanted to grab them and strut around in them. Shah Rukh Khan’s COOL pendant in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was such a rage that it was sold like hotcakes across the country, shaping the style choices of a generation.
26. Redefining Fatherhood as the Coolest Screen Dad
Any young man with a paternal bone would want to be a cool daddy to a child as adorable as little Anjali (Sana Saeed). Rahul spoiled her to bits and simply couldn’t stay away from his 8-year-old. When the girl was entrusted with a gargantuan duty by his deceased mother (Rani Mukerji), she had to pull up her stockings and reunite her dad with the love of his life. Rahul missed his little girl, took part in The Neelam Show, and headed straight to Shimla grooving on a peppy ‘Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram.’
27. Serving Comedy Gold with Baadshah
I seriously doubt if Abbas-Mustan knew the magnitude of what they were creating when they opted for the slapstick route in Baadshah. Without a doubt, it is the funniest Shah Rukh Khan film in history, and that means a lot considering how funny he can be on and off the screen. Twinkle Khanna, who looked glam and acted ably, made for a good pair. And yes, we will still dance to those Anu Malik songs, and so does Dua Lipa.
28. Believing in Dreamz Unlimited
The start of the millennium saw Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Aziz Mirza actualize their plan to start a production company—unusual for actors back then. Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, a Republic Day release, was a brave film on politics and journalism with classic Mirza messaging. Despite its merits, it didn’t stand a chance amid the Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai wave. That said, the film has aged incredibly well and is now praised in a complex global political climate.
29. Making the Eccentric Raj Aryan in Mohabbatein Feel Sane
In Aditya Chopra’s second film, the merchant of love (SRK as Raj, again) reaches a campus to formalize love. While the film’s title and Raj’s objective didn’t make much sense initially, Khan’s trendy sweaters, violin, and charisma won me over. I constantly sided with Narayan Shankar’s policy of ‘parampara, pratistha, anushasan’ (tradition, prestige, discipline), but by the end, I was a convert.
30. Max and the Surge of Adrenaline He Brought
‘Sailaru sailare… kya bola phir bol re…’ Very few songs projected machismo the way this Anu Malik song did. And Shah Rukh Khan, in his pre-six-pack era, was at his peak testosterone in Mansoor Khan’s Goa-set film, Josh. While it was strange to imagine him and Aishwarya Rai as siblings, the film actually convinced us. And who will forget the epic ‘Apun Bola Tu Meri Laila’ sung by the man himself?
31. Making Us Believe He Truly Was Asoka
Emperor Ashoka (or Asoka) is a historical figure we never really had a face for. When Santosh Sivan’s film was announced, it was a major cause of intrigue. Shah Rukh, who produced the film, played the emperor himself. The film was also a love story with some timeless songs by Anu Malik.
32. Giving Us Bollywood’s Most Emotional Mother-Son Moment
I don’t care what others think, but Shah Rukh Khan and Jaya Bachchan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham made the greatest mother-son duo in the history of commercial Hindi cinema. There, I said it. The Diwali-helicopter scene is for the ages, and I remember weeping through it along with my own mother.
33. ‘Suraj Hua Maddham’
I remember Karan Johar stating that he was shocked when someone at a film festival quizzed him on ‘Suraj Hua Maddham,’ citing how the use of pyramids was brilliant symbolism for the obstacles between Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (Kajol). Baffled and amused, Johar admitted he went there because it was a pristine location. We must thank him for that, because the location does full justice to the couple’s piping hot chemistry, which peaked in the scorching landscapes.
34. Sinking Deep into Gopal’s Insecurities
Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam is not an easy film to like. Shah Rukh Khan’s hero, Gopal, was semi-toxic and not his lovable self. Yet, he makes him worth knowing in a film where Salman Khan struts around as the epitome of the Rajshri brand of goodness.
35. The Passion That Burned Through Devdas
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film was a rage upon its release in 2002. Devdas went on to benefit everyone associated with it and is still referenced today. Shah Rukh Khan’s anger and desperation made the title character iconic in the truest sense, as did the dialogues that have stood the test of time.
36. The Swagger of ‘Ishq Kameena’
After Devdas, Shakti was another film in the same year that united him with Aishwarya, both in short appearances. Like Bhansali’s film, Shah Rukh Khan’s character dies in this one, too. But not before burning the dance floor with Rai in this epic Anu Malik dance number.
37. The Calm Strength of Yashwant Rao
Film lovers desperately wanted to see Khan paired opposite Tabu. Producers often complained about Tabu’s height being a mismatch. I’m glad Shaad Ali finally made it happen, albeit in a brief chapter in Saathiya. The duo actually had intense chemistry.
38. Setting the Screen Ablaze with Rani Mukerji
Shah Rukh Khan’s screen pairing with Rani is not underrated. Among all the women he has appeared with, it’s with her that he has done the greatest variety of films, each showcasing a different facet of them as a couple. Chalte Chalte had the pair at their sexiest best, Paheli was a bold period drama, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna scandalized the morality of the times. Even in a film like Veer-Zaara, where they weren’t romantically paired, SRK and Rani had their own track going, which added gravitas to the larger plot. Now, I look forward to their return to the big screen in King.
39. Being the Angel to Many Lives
‘Hamara angel kab aayega?’ cries little Gia (Jhanak Shukla) as she prays to God in Kal Ho Naa Ho. And guess what? Aman Mathur turns up. We all cried buckets when Aman passed away, but not before changing the lives of everyone around him. What a beautiful film, concept, and performance in what must be the peak SRK era for Bollywood.
The Mid-Career Reinvention: Action, Patriotism, and Style
40. Ram Prasad Sharma: An Age-Appropriate Hero
First of all, I’d like to formally thank Farah Khan for making Main Hoon Na an age-appropriate affair for Shah Rukh Khan. The film, in true Manmohan Desai style, was loads of fun, and Shah Rukh Khan was in his elements, doing everything from action and comedy to romance and drama. The actor sizzled with his co-actors, and the songs are danced to till date.
41. Veer’s Love, Loyalty, and Patriotism
I remember a mainstream publication reviewing Veer-Zaara as soggy. If soggy means giving India a grand romantic melodrama with all the characteristic Bollywood flavors in place, then I’d say I love it. The late Madan Mohan’s music sounded twice as magical with Khan’s presence. The classic Yash Chopra aesthetics came out in full glory in ‘Yeh Hum Aagaye Hai Kahaan’ featuring Khan and the gorgeous Preity Zinta.
42. Returning Home to His Swades
2004 was a happening year for Shah Rukh Khan. Little did we expect him to end it with a quiet yet contemplative Swades, which arguably gave us the actor’s best performance to date. It was heartbreaking to see him lose a richly deserved National Award. Then again, look at its legacy and the love Khan and the film have amassed over the years despite its commercial failure. The effort was all worth it.
43. The Soulful Empowerment of Paheli
Amol Palekar’s period folk drama will always remain one of Khan’s best works. The film’s politics were wonderfully progressive for the time it depicted, and the performances by the leads (Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji) were astounding. The film was India’s official entry to the Academy Awards.
44. Bollywood’s Hottest Item Boy
The shirt was on, but he still steamed it up with Malaika Arora in ‘Kaal Dhamaal’ for the film Kaal. Karan Johar (the producer) decided to add a song by Khan to salvage the poorly reviewed horror film and mint some money at the ticket windows. The rest is history: the film earned poor reviews but had a very good opening at the box office.
45. Embracing Dev’s Complexity in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
“How could Shah Rukh Khan play that role?” This was a topic of national debate when Karan Johar’s adultery saga released in 2006. To see two of Bollywood’s biggest superstars as cheaters in their marriages was unacceptable back then. However, time has been kind to the multi-star cast film, with many articles and YouTube videos now citing how it was ahead of its time. KANK is now labeled as Johar’s best directorial effort. Whose double standards do we expose now? Tell me.
46. The Stylish Reinvention Called Don
As a child who enjoyed Chandra Barot’s Don on SetMax, I was amused when Shah Rukh Khan decided to star in its remake. It might be scandalous to some, but I enjoy the Farhan Akhtar film a lot more, it has Khan, swagger, technique, and all the glitz and glam that I prefer in a commercial film.
47. Kabir Khan’s Fury and Focus in Chak De! India
I once overheard a serious flight argument between a couple about whether Chak De India or Swades was SRK’s best performance. I’m on the woman’s side (Team Swades), but I understand why the man held his ground. Shimit Amin’s film gives an emotional and patriotic high that very few films can match. It is one of the most original and rousing sports films, and SRK, once again, missed the National Award.
48. ‘Dard-e-Disco’ and Those Abs
First of all, if I ever bump into Javed Akhtar, I’m going to thank him for rhyming “chabbis ko” with “disco.” And to everyone who thought SRK couldn’t be an actor with a great physique, he proved everyone wrong with a thunderous transformation. Farah Khan’s film, Om Shanti Om, was great fun otherwise too, and it’s a huge favorite with Gen-Z as well.
49. Surinder Sahni’s Simplicity and Strength
Aditya Chopra’s third directorial, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, will warm the cockles of your heart if you accept the fact that Taani (Anushka Sharma) couldn’t recognize Surinder when he shaved off his mustache. It was a lovely, well-intended film addressing consent and fidelity. SRK was superb doing a twin act, and Salim-Sulaiman’s songs were universally loved.
The King Khan Reign: Global Icon to Blockbuster Comeback
50. That Motivating Cameo in Luck By Chance
Zoya Akhtar’s debut film had half the industry in bit roles. Yet, the most enduring and meaningful special appearance was that of Shah Rukh Khan, who appears as himself to give the new kid on the block, Vikram Jaisingh (Farhan Akhtar), a quick pep talk.
51. Saying, “My Name is Khan, and I Am Not a Terrorist”
Karan Johar’s 2010 film, My Name is Khan, is all the more relevant today in the era of heightening Islamophobia. More than that, I applaud SRK’s accuracy in portraying a person with Asperger’s Syndrome on screen. Essentially a feel-good film, My Name is Khan ranks among the actor’s best performances.
52. The Most Lovable Halwai Ever
Post the Rani Mukerji-Preity Zinta era, the only heroine to truly share a real, warm chemistry with Khan was Deepika Padukone. Rohit Shetty’s interstate romance, Chennai Express, was the last time he did a pure rom-com before graduating to action. The film delivered clean fun with good songs and effortless chemistry with Padukone.
53. Acing Both Sides of Fan
Maneesh Sharma’s film had a great concept that every cinema-obsessed person would relate to. Somehow, from the way it’s written, I ended up empathizing and connecting more with Aryan Khan, the superstar, than Gaurav, his fan. The film didn’t do well commercially, but Shah Rukh Khan did a great job on what he was asked to. The climax was both brave and emotional in equal measure.
54. Tahir Taliyar Khan: Layered and Magnetic
In Karan Johar’s romantic film, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Shah Rukh Khan appeared in a brief cameo. He was given some of the corniest lines possible, but trust the man to sell it to us. As Saba’s (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) former lover, Tahir’s words on one-sided love still resonate and are surprisingly popular on social media.
55. The Effortlessly Sexy Jug
SRK entered his ‘zaddy era’ with an extended cameo in his home production, Dear Zindagi. Sorry Alia, but the film wasn’t a solo hit of yours. Lakhs of us purchased tickets to watch Mr. Khan as the sexy shrink, and he didn’t disappoint.
56. Sticking Through the Tough Times
There was a brief lull for Shah Rukh Khan, a period where he delivered many mid-films including Jab Harry Met Sejal and Zero. Everyone wanted Khan to come back to his elements, and he took a short break to contemplate, and it worked.
57. The Fiery Comeback in Pathaan
In January 2023, Shah Rukh Khan returned with full force in Siddharth Anand’s actioner. Despite bizarre controversies over the song ‘Besharam Rang,’ the filmmaker delivered, and SRK was back with a bang. It was a thumping entertainer with all the Bollywood formula in place, and it established Khan as a valuable part of the YRF Spy Universe.
58. Conquering Hearts and Records with Jawan
Atlee’s Jawan, which followed Pathaan in the same year, was a very good follow-up. It was a fulfilling mass entertainer with Shah Rukh Khan in a double role. The National Award which came his way after multiple snubs didn’t feel quite deserving for that film, but for all he has done in cinema, I treat it as a Lifetime Achievement Award.
59. ‘Ghante Ka Baadshah’
Shah Rukh Khan appeared as a fictionalized version of himself in his son Aryan Khan’s streaming debut, and it was wild fun. More than this brief appearance, I would appreciate Khan’s faith in backing Aryan to mount such a big and risky subject for his debut under their home banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.
60. Setting the Stage for King
Shah Rukh Khan is now gearing up for his next big release, another Siddharth Anand action film with a gigantic cast. Currently being filmed in Poland, the film is touted to raise Khan to an altogether different pedestal as the nation’s greatest film star today.
Today, on Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday, I could go on and on to write 40 more reasons. In fact, I deleted quite a lot before shortlisting these. While I may not be Khan’s biggest fan out there, I see why India worships him, both on and off the screen. There’s a lot to learn from his journey, and his humility, wit, compassion, and oratory skills are truly worth admiring.
