Shah Rukh Khan marks 28 years in Bollywood, thanks fans

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Sunday (28) expressed gratitude to his fans for “allowing” his passion to become his long-standing profession, as he clocked 28 years in Bollywood this month.

Shah Rukh, who arguably made the most successful transition from TV to the big screen, made foray into Bollywood with director Raj Kanwar’s Deewana on June 26, 1992, after his playing lead roles in popular TV shows Fauji (1988) and Circus (1989).


The 54-year-old actor said more than his professionalism, it is his passion to entertain which will keep him going for many more years in the industry.

“Don’t know when my passion became my purpose and then turned into my profession. Thank you all for so many years of allowing me to entertain you. More than my professionalism I believe my passionalism will see me through many more years of service to all of you,” Shah Rukh tweeted alongside a latest picture of him.

In a subsequent tweet, the actor thanked his wife, producer-interior designer Gauri for clicking the photograph and wrote, “28 years and counting...”

The actor’s initial years in films saw him play a mix of negative characters in movies like BaazigarDarr and Anjaam and as a small-town simpleton with big dreams in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.

It was, however, his turn in Aditya Chopra’s love story Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), which catapulted him to stardom and gave Hindi cinema one of its biggest romantic heroes.

From 1995 to mid-2000, Shah Rukh starred in Dil To Paagal HaiYes BossKuch Kuch Hota HaiMohabbateinKabhi Khushi Kabhie GhamDevdasKal Ho Na HoMain Hoon NaVeer Zaara, all of which were huge box office hits and earned the actor the tag of Bollywood’s ‘King Khan’.

He also featured in acclaimed films like SwadesChak De! India, and My Name is Khan, in which he played a common man on a mission as opposed to his romantic hero staple.

The actor’s dream run came to a halt beginning 2011, with his sci-fi superhero project Ra.One.

Though the decade saw him deliver huge hits with comedies Chennai Express and Happy New Year between 2013 and 2014, his other attempts, including Raees, where he played a gangster, Fan, which had him playing a double role and Zero, featuring him as a vertically challenged man, fetched him acclaim but not box office glory.

Shah Rukh, who also owns production banner Red Chillies Entertainment, recently launched their collaborations with streamer Netflix India, espionage thriller series Bard of Blood, starring Emraan Hashmi, and Betaal, a zombie horror series, featuring Viineet Kumar and Ahana Kumra.

The actor is now reportedly gearing up for filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani's next, two years since his last screen outing with Zero in 2018.

Armani fashion journey

Giorgio Armani’s journey from window dresser to fashion emperor

Giorgio Armani: 10 chapters that turned a window dresser into fashion’s emperor

Highlights:

  • Armani began as a window dresser in Milan before sketching suits for Nino Cerruti.
  • In 1975, he launched his own label by selling his car, sparking a quiet fashion revolution.
  • His unstructured suits redefined power dressing for men and women in the 1980s.
  • From American Gigolo to the Oscars, Armani became Hollywood’s style signature.
  • He built a global empire yet stayed hands-on, shaping fashion until his final days at 91.

It’s strange to think Armani once stood behind a shop window, fixing mannequins instead of red carpets. He wasn’t born into Milan’s glittering salons or stitched into privilege. His journey started with burns from a war shell, with a mother who made scraps look elegant, with a young man who quit medical school because he couldn’t quite see his future in blood and bandages.

From there, he picked up fabrics, cuts, and the quiet dream of building something lasting. And against all odds, he did. You know his clothes. You’ve seen that look, the effortless drape of a jacket, the quiet confidence of a suit that doesn’t scream but whispers luxury. Giorgio Armani, who left us last year at 91, wasn’t just a designer, he rewrote how the world dresses. These ten chapters show how he carved that throne.
