Shah Rukh Khan is more than a superstar. He is India's top entertainment phenomenon. Khan is among the most influential people in India's movie industry, and the promoter or co-promoter of several production companies engaged in movies, television and special effects. He is a sought-after television host, a frequent face for prestige and public service advertising, and one of India's unofficial cultural brand ambassadors.
Born in 1965, Khan obtained a Masters degree in mass communication, with a specialisation in film-making from Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi. He pursued an acting career soon after. He debuted in Fauji, a TV serial, in 1988. His Bollywood debut came four years later, with Deewana. Khan has since starred in several dozen high-grossing movies-among them Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Devdas, Chak De India!, and Om Shanti Om.
Over the years Khan has received numerous film industry awards. In 2008, the Malaysian state of Malacca awarded him the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka, conferring on Khan the title of Datuk, similar to a knighthood. In the same year he received from France the prestigious Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (the Order of Arts and Letters).
