The filmmaker made her directorial debut in 2004 with Main Hoon Na, starring the superstar. The two then went on to make movies such as Om Shanti Om and Happy New Year. Shah Rukh’s first major project as an actor was Fauji, which hit the small screen in 1989. It focussed on the story of a new set of recruits as they begin their training to become commandos in the Indian Army.

The series highlighted the daily struggles of the recruits including physical training, the pranks they play on each other, and the punishments they receive from their officers. After SRK worked in Fauji, he was then seen in the TV series Circus BY Aziz Mirza. He was then seen in the Idiot, Umeed, Wagle Ki Duniya and the English language film In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones. Shah Rukh Khan Turns 59: The Academy Shares Iconic ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ Scene To Celebrate SRK’s Birthday (Watch Video).
