27 Years of Shah Rukh Khan in Bollywood: A Look at King Khan’s Journey From Then to Now

Published by Amrit Santlani on 25 Jun 2019

It was in 1989 that Shah Rukh Khan made his screen debut. The actor was due to make his television debut with Lekh Tandon’s series Dil Dariya, however, a delay in the production led to Fauji becoming his debut show instead. He further went on to star in several other television series including Circus, Idiot, Umeed, Wagle Ki Duniya and In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones.

The actor then made his way from small screen to the big screen and starred in Deewana, Chamatkar, Dil Aashna Hai and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, and has since not looked back. 27 years later Shah Rukh has become the King Khan of the industry with an illustrious career and various critically acclaimed films and a legacy.
