When Hansraj College celebrated its 50th anniversary, it gave away 17 shields to its alumni who had excelled in their lives and professions. Khan was one of them. Though he pursued a Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia, he later opted out to make his career in Bollywood

After the death of his parents, Khan moved to Mumbai in 1991.In that same year, before any of his films were released, he married Gauri Chibber, a Hindu, in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony on 25 October 1991.They have two children, son Aryan and daughter Suhana. According to Khan, while he strongly believes in Allah, he also values his wife's religion. At home, his children follow both religions, with the Qur'an being situated next to the Hindu deities.

Khan studied acting under celebrated Theatre Director Barry John at Delhi's Theatre Action Group (TAG). Khan started shooting for Lekh Tandon's television series Dil Dariya, but its delay meant that he made his acting debut with the 1988 television series, Fauji, playing the leading role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai.He went on to appear in other television serials, such as the 1989 serial, Aziz Mirza's Circus, which depicted the life of circus performers.The same year, Khan also had a minor role in the made-for-television English-language film, In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones, which was based on life at Delhi University and was written by Arundhati Roy.

His big screen debut came in the form of 'Deewana' where he acted alongside Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti and won the prestigious Filmfare award for Best Debut Actor Male. His real debut film 'Dil Aashna Hai' released late as the second film of his career. This was followed by hit in the form of 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman'. After a few more films which did badly at the box office, Khan made the unique choice to opt for negative roles and played obsessive, somewhat psychotic characters in 'Darr', 'Baazigar' and Anjaam. To everyone's surprise the films were massive hits and Shahrukh earned his first Best Actor award and was also nominated in the villainous role category. The same year he bagged the Critics Award for best performance in 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa', a film he often recalls as amongst his favorites. Then it was followed to what would be remembered as one of Khan's most iconic performances and a film which was India's biggest hit in 90's. The 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' was released on 20th October 1995 and it became a landmark movie of his career. The films he did with Yash Chopra banner and Karan Johar like DTPH, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai etc were the only good films in nineties.Karan Arhun, Yes Boss were hits but Khan was criticized for overacting in films like Guddu, Ram Jaane, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustaani, Duplicate, 12Ka4, Dil Se and Asoka all of them flopped at box office. It was then post 2002 he accepted films like Swades, Devdas, Chak De India, Om Shanti Om, My Name Is Khan to prove his acting capability. His inspirations are Dilip Kumar and Rajesh Khanna for acting and his acting bears resemblance to them. His films do overseas well as NRI have developed more liking for him.He was named among the 50 most powerful people by Newsweek in 2005. His statue has been made in Madame Tussaud's museum. He is quoted by his friends as being one of the most humble and down to earth personalities and is said to be witty. He has hosted many times in award functions.Khan resides in palatial mansion called 'Mannat' in Mumbai, India.

Khan has won fourteen Filmfare Awards for his work in Indian films, eight of which are in the Best Actor category (a record), thus establishing himself as one of the leading actors of Hindi Cinema. In 2005, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri for his contributions towards Indian Cinema.

In 2008, Khan in partnership with actress Juhi Chawla Mehta and her husband Jay Mehta acquired ownership rights for the franchise representing Kolkata in the a Twenty20 cricket tournament Indian Premier League, for a price of USD 75.09 million (Rs 357 crores), and have since named the team Kolkata Knight Riders.
