10	Also called [[FanNickname SRK]] or [[FanNickname King Khan]] by those in the know. Chances are, if you've heard of Bollywood, you've heard of SRK (born Shahrukh Khan, 2 November 1965). Maybe in a newspaper article calling him UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}}'s Creator/TomCruise or Creator/HarrisonFord, as in the page quote, but none of those descriptions can capture the mystique, the appeal, the popularity of the man himself.

12	He got his start on television, appearing in the Hindi language TV shows ''Series/{{Fauji}}'' and ''Circus'' before getting his big break. He is famous for playing endearing [[ManChild manchildren]] who mature due to the [[LoveRedeems the love of a good woman]], but he does display his range in between by playing the StalkerWithACrush (''Film/{{Darr}}'', ''Film/{{Anjaam}}'', ''Film/DilSe''), Buddhist Emperors (''Film/{{Asoka}}''), coach to the Indian women's hockey team (''Film/ChakDeIndia''), and the eponymous ''[[Film/DonTheChaseBeginsAgain Don]]''.

43	----
44	!!His work provides examples of the following tropes:
45
46	* AgeGapRomance: During the 2010s, he still often played romantic leads with his female co-stars who were over fifteen to twenty years his junior. Some notable examples: Creator/PriyankaChopra in ''Film/DonTheChaseBeginsAgain'' and ''Film/Don2'', Creator/KatrinaKaif in ''Film/JabTakHaiJaan'', Deepika Padukone in ''Film/OmShantiOm'' and ''Film/ChennaiExpress'' and Anushka Sharma in ''Film/RabNeBanaDiJodi'' and ''Film/JabTakHaiJaan''.
47	* AlmostKiss: Enforced as he refuses to kiss his costars out of respect for his wife, which he's only broken on a couple of occasions (''Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Jab Harry Met Sejal'').
48	%%* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: You cannot have a Shah Rukh Khan movie without one of these.
49	* TheCharmer: Used most famously in ''Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge'' where he charms not only his love interest, but also her entire extended family including his girlfriend's future-in-laws of her arranged marriage that was being forced on her by her father and gets her father in the end to accept him as his son-in-law.
50	* ChronicallyKilledActor: Can be considered the trope codifier, it can be easier to count the movies where he dies rather than lives.
51	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Many of his characters are this. He is no slouch in RealLife either. Just take a look at the Ask SRK sessions on his Website/{{Twitter}}.
52	%%* {{Fanservice}}: Most of the time. More specifically SexySoakedShirt.
53	* FilmiMusic: As it's customary for Bollywood, he performs musical numbers for Indian films and series.
54	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: [[http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/uncategorized/shah-rukh-khan-conferred-with-malaysian-title-datuk_100127893.html He was declared a Datuk in Malaysia]], which helped to increase the popularity of Bollywood films.
55	%%* PsychopathicManchild: Before he became famous as a chocolate hero, he was known for his villainous roles which were almost always in this mold.
56	* SignatureMove: Spreading his arms in every singing and dancing scenes.
57	* StalkerWithACrush: He plays this in almost all his early movies. Either women he falls in love with return his love and he becomes endearing or in a darker movie, he becomes a psychopath.
58	%%* TenderTears: Is a master of this trope.
59	* VerbalTic: He's famous for his stutter. He also has a famous line reading from the movie ''Darr'' where his character stutters out the name of the heroine whom he is stalking. "K-k-k-k-kiran!"
