Shah Rukh Khan is a famous film actor, television host and a film producer in Bollywood. Due to his immense popularity, he is frequently dubbed as the "King of Bollywood" or "King Khan". He has an optimistic attitude towards life has faces all that comes with a firm belief in God. As an actor, he has tasted great successes as well as miserable failures. However, the successes he has registered make his failures seem negligible.
Early Life of Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan was born in New Delhi, India on November 2, 1965. His parents are Taj Muhammad Khan (Businessman) and Lateef Fatima (Magistrate). Major General Shah Nawaz Khan of Janjua Rajput community adopted Lateef Fatima as his daughter. Shah Nawaz Khan was a General of the Indian National Army led by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Shah Rukh Khan was named Abdul Rehman by his maternal grandmother which was changed into Shah Rukh later by his father inspired by his sister's name Lala Rukh, which literally translates into 'King like face.' He prefers to write his name as Shah Rukh Khan and feels lucky that his father changed his name, as Abdul Rehman would have never suited a film star.
He was a brilliant student and an all rounder. At St. Columba's School he won the prestigious 'Sword of Honour'. He was also the captain of his football, hockey and cricket teams all at the same time. After sustaining a football injury, he started to consider acting as a career. He graduated with honours in Economics from Hansraj College, Delhi (1985-1988) and did his masters in mass communications from Jamiya Miliya Islamia. Khan then went on to study theater under the reputed Mr. Barry John whom he credits for carving out the actor inside him but his mentor considers his pupil as being solely responsible for his greatness and glory citing Shah Rukh to have the perfect combination of "talent, perseverance, belief in yourself, a never-give-up-attitude and of course, a bit of luck" factors needed for success.
Shah Rukh Khan in 1991 shifted to Mumbai following the demise of his parents. This marked his entry in to the silver screen or stardom.
During his school days, Shah Rukh Khan acted like he was having an epileptic attack in order to bunk a class. His acting was so realistic that the teacher allowed his friends to take him away and make him rest. What happened after shows his mischievous side even more-instead of escaping immediately, one of his friends went to the class again, to ask for the teacher's leather shoes as making an epileptic person during an attack smell leather is an Indian remedy. The poor teacher had to walk with just one shoe for the rest of the day, courtesy Shah Rukh Khan.

"Beta, Kuch kaam karna. Aur naa mann ho tou matt karna, kyunki jo kuch nahi karte wo kamaal karte hain!"All of SRK's wit and sense of humour that we talk about should actually be attributed to his father's witty and charming persona. Such statements were a part of his daily life and it seems he learn from the best.

Incidents & Accidents of Shah Rukh Khan
Two things happened because of this incident. One, He became quite the Hindi pundit and later always did very well in Hindi. And secondly, He got the feel for Hindi films. His command over the language helps him immensely to essay his roles in films today. The moral of the story is, if your mom tells you to study hard, do it. You may just become a film star and your education will help you one helluva lot. But if your mother is insisting on anthropology or biochemistry or perhaps aromatic therapy, then ignore her.
One important turning point in his life occurred because he was very bad in Hindi. He used to get 2 or 3 on 10 and always failed in this subject. Once, his mother said to him that If you got full marks in Hindi she would take him to see a Hindi film in the theater. He had never been to a movie hall before. So, he stayed up all night and studied his butt off and managed to get full marks and his mother took him to see his first Hindi film, in a theater.
He sitting on the wall and lowing flying kisses to the schoolgirls passing by. Once a girl came complaining to his dad but his father was sure that it could not be he as He was too young. His dad made the girl wait so that she could see him and realize that it was the neighbor's son who was teasing her and not he. But to his father's embarrassment He walked in without his pants on and on seeing the girl blew her a flying kiss and told his dad that this was his sweetheart. This was the first and last girl He ever made a pass to.
