Shahrukh khan- The Awards King

Khan has come a long way since then with a string of hits under his belt which include some of Bollywood's biggest in both national and international markets namely kuch kuch hota hai(1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001) ,Devdas (2002), Swades (2004),Chakde!

His fame does not stop here; following release of his films overseas he has been credited as the world's biggest movie star and was named among the 50 most powerful people by Newsweek.
Even with all the success and a statue among the elite in Madame Tussaud's, he is quoted as being one of the most humble and down to earth personalities although his wit is unmatched by even the best in business. This has led to him being a host of many television programmes, game shows and award functions including India's version of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.
The King is an active philanthropist funding numerous humanitarian projects and charities as well as being personally involved in them though he prefers to keep this aspect out of the lime light.
His larger than life persona continues to win hearts all over the world with a fan following going into billions. He is the face of brands such as Pepsi, Tag Heur and has a 8 billion dirham property development project comprising multiple residential towers in the UAE named after him called 'Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard'. He co-owns two production houses 'Dreamz Unlimited' and 'Red Chillies Entertainment' and the IPL Cricket team 'Kolkata Knight Riders'.
Recipient of Padma Shri (India), Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (France), Unesco Pyramide con Marni (UNESCO), L'Etoile d'Or (by King of Morroco) and the Chubb fellowship (Yale) Khan resides in his beachside palatial mansion called 'Mannat' in Mumbai, India with his wife Gauri Khan and two children Aryan, Suhana and AbRam.
