25 iconic moments from Shah Rukh Khan's illustrious career

In July, Shah Rukh Khan – the king of Bollywood, the man who has been the unquestioned champion of hundreds of thousands of hearts across the country – completed 25 years of his career. His first appearance on the silver screen took place on July 7, 1992, when the 27-year-young King Khan played the role of Raja Sahai. While many may not remember this SRK performance, the rest of his career is a legitimate part of Bollywood history.

On December 19, Shah Rukh Khan received an award for completing 25 years in Bollywood at the Zee Cine Awards 2018. “When I came to Mumbai, I thought of working here for two years and going back to Delhi. But then my films started doing well and in the blink of an eye, 25 years were over," mused the star at the award ceremony. It is true. Even a decade old SRK film feels like it was released yesterday.

Celebrating the witty actor’s contribution to cinema (a lot of it may not have been the best of acting or story, but they have definitely made a pop-cultural impact), here are 25 iconic scenes from his films:
