He’s called the Badshah of Bollywood for a reason, and today Shah Rukh Khan celebrates 23 years of being a part of Indian cinema.
Yes, King Khan made his debut in Deewana more than two decades ago. And after that there was no stopping for the Delhi boy.
The King of Romance has taught us a lot about pyaar, ishk and mohabat that goes beyond just loving a girl.
So, wanna learn how to fall in love, SRK style? We tell you how!
Pyaar Dosti Hai
In Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Mr “Oh-So-Cool” Rahul taught us love-struck teens that love is friendship. A deep and profound thought indeed, it has been etched in our pop culture memory. We bet you will still find Romeos using it liberally, wherever possible.
Love Thy Neighbour
‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ Jesus said, SRK followed! In Kal Ho Naa Ho, Shah Rukh Khan not just fell in love with his bubbly neighbour Preity Zinta, but ensured that she got married to her, wait for it… best friend. Remember the good ’ol pyaar dosti hai dialogue? SRK practices what he preaches.
I Love You Teacher
A 35-year-old undercover army officer goes to college, disguised as a student, and falls in love with his Chemistry teacher. How unreal can you get? That’s exactly why you need the badshah of romance — to tell you that falling in love with your teacher is no big deal.
Love Your Country
It’s all about loving your country and your national sport — Hockey. No, not Cricket, Hockey! SRK, along with a bunch of spirited women conquered the hearts of million by winning the World Cup in in phoren soil. One of the finest films where Shah Rukh Khan teaches you that love is all encompassing. Love your country. Love your game.
Love Your Enemy’s Daughter
All’s fair in love and war and that’s what Baazigar taught us.
