It's been 26 years since the handsome young hunk, with a centre-parted hairdo and a dimpled smile, walked onto our screens and made his place in our hearts. Shah Rukh is not just the part of Indian celebrities but also has made his place in other countries too hence rightly known as the 'Baadshah' of the entertainment industry.

Coming from a middle-class family, with a father who ran small businesses including a canteen, this star has become one of the highest-paid actors of Bollywood all in just 52 years.

From playing the romantic hero who wins the girl in 'DDLJ', to a crazy stalker who could haunt anyone's dream in 'Daar', an emperor and a drunkard in 'Devdas', to his touching act as an autistic man in 'My Name Is Khan', playing his own fan in the movie 'Fan' and now a dwarf in 'Zero'; there is nothing this artist hasn't been and no life he hasn't acted.
