SRK excels during last 27 years in Bollywood

Shah Rukh Khan has completed 27 years in Bollywood. 27 years ago, Shah Rukh Khan made his Bollywood debut with Deewana. The film also starred Divya Bharti and Rishi Kapoor in the lead roles.

Shah Rukh Khan has not signed any films after Zero's failure. But the love and support from his billions of fans around the world, give the superstar every reason to make a smashing comeback.

SRK, who hails from Delhi, got his big break in Bollywood with the movie Deewana. While the actor started his career as a negative lead character, he went on to become the ultimate king of romance and made his place in the hearts of his fans. The actor did have his highs and lows but the love he got from his fans kept him going and even today, Shah Rukh Khan is receiving the same, or even more amount of admiration from his fans.

The netizens made sure to shower their love on the superstar of Bollywood by sending him love through their Twitter handle. More and more fans came forward to show their love for the actor and tweets like 'My man completes 27 years in Indian cinema today. Thank you for being a part of almost my entire life so far. Thank you for lighting up our lives and making us feel giddy with your every new movie!', 'A man who brought Bollywood to world level whose acting is flawless and has over 1bn fans worldwide. Congratulations KING.....', started pouring in. Not just via their social media handle, but some even made sure to cut the cake and mark the day.

Shah Rukh Khan started his career through the Television show Circus, from where he made his existence. Later on, the Baadshah made his debut in the Bollywood Industry with Deewana, helmed by Raj Kanwar. From then on, he did some iconic movies like Chamatkar, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and others. Shah Rukh Khan then earned a super fandom, but somehow the latest releases went flop on box-office collections.
