Early life and background

Khan was born on 2 November 1965 in New Delhi, India.[24][25] His father, Taj Mohammed Khan, a Pathan, was an Indian independence activist from Peshawar, British India, present dayPakistan. According to Khan, his paternal grandfather was originally from Afghanistan.[26] His mother, Lateef Fatima, was the adopted daughter of Major General Shah Nawaz Khan of the Janjua Rajput clan, who served in the Indian National Army.[27] Khan's father came to New Delhi from Qissa Khawani Bazaar in Peshawar before the partition of India,[28] Regarding his origins, he described himself on Twitter as "half hyderabadi (mom) half Pathan (Dad) some kashmiri (grandmom)"[29] His father died from cancer when Khan was 15 years old, and his mother died in 1990 after prolonged illness.[30][31] Khan was very attached to his parents as a child and describes their early deaths as a turning point in his life and as his biggest motivation for hard work. He explained that his ideology in life is "... to make movies so damn bloody big...that my parents somewhere sit down on a star and from there also can look at their son and say 'I can see his movies from here better than I can see the Wall of China or anything. We see his movies covering the face of this earth'."[32] Khan has an elder sister named Shehnaz.[33] Growing up in Rajendra Nagar neighbourhood of Delhi,[34] Khan attended St. Columba's School where he was accomplished in sports, drama, and academics. He won the Sword of Honour, an annual award given to the student who best represents the spirit of the school. Khan later attended the Hansraj College (19851988) and earned his Bachelors degree in Economics. 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 pursue a career in Bollywood.[35] He also attended the National School of Drama in Delhi.[36] After the death of his mother, Khan moved to Mumbai in 1991.[37] He married Gauri Chibber, a Hindu, in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony on 25 October 1991.[30] They have two children, son Aryan (b. 1997) and daughter Suhana (b. 2000).

198892: Early work and breakthrough

Khan studied acting under the mentorship of theatre director Barry John at Delhi's "Theatre Action Group" (TAG).[39] Khan's first starring role was in Lekh Tandon's television series Dil Dariya, but due to production delays, the 1988 television series, Fauji was his television debut. He played the leading role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai in the critically acclaimed show, which earned him mass recognition. [37][40] He went on to appear in Aziz Mirza's Circus (1989)[41] and played a minor role in the made-for-television English-language film, In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones(1989). His appearance in these teleserials, led critics to compare his acting style with that of film actor Dilip Kumar.[42] In 1991, Khan shifted base to Mumbai and received his first film offer withHema Malini's directorial debut Dil Aashna Hai.[37] However, due to production delays, his second film, Deewana (1992), alongside Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti released first.[36][43] The film became a box office hit, and launched his career in Bollywood.[44] Despite portraying a supporting character in the film, he won a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award, the following year. He subsequently featured in Mani Kaul's adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot, Idiot. Originally made for television, the film eventually received a theatrical release and debuted at the New York Film Festival on 8 October 1992.[45] Later that year, he played the titular character in the comedy, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, which was his first of many collaborations with actress Juhi Chawla. The film proved to be a box office hit.[46] He went on to star in Ketan Mehta's Maya Memsaab, an adaptation of Gustave Flaubert's novel Madame Bovary. Upon release, the film generated controversy in India due to Khan's appearance in an "explicit" sex scene with co-star Deepa Sahi.[47]

199397: Critical and commercial success

In 1993, Khan garnered appreciation for portraying negative roles, that of an obsessive lover and a murderer, respectively, in the box office hits, Darr and Baazigar.[48] The "Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema" analyzed that "he defied the image of the conventional hero in both these films and created his own version of the revisionist hero."[49] Darr marked the first of many collaborations of Khan with film-maker Yash Chopra and his banner Yash Raj Films. Khan's stammering in the film and the usage of the phrase, "I love you, Kkkiran," were popular with the audiences.[50] His other release, Baazigar, in which he played an ambiguous avenger who murders his girlfriend, "shocked the Indian audiences" with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula.[51] His performance in Baazigar won him his first Filmfare Best Actor Award. The same year, Khan played the role of a love-struck musician in Kundan Shah's dramedy Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, a performance that earned him a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance. In a retrospective review by Rediff, Sukanya Verma called it Khan's best performance and added, "He was spontaneous, vulnerable, boyish, mischievous and acting straight from the heart."[52]Khan, himself, considers this film to the best film that he has acted in.[53] In 1994, Khan once again played an obsessive lover in Anjaam, co-starring Madhuri Dixit. Though the film was a commercial failiure, Khan's performance earned him the Filmfare Best Villain Award.[54]

In 1995, Khan starred in two box-office blockbusters. His first release was Rakesh Roshan's melodramatic thriller Karan Arjun, in which Khan was a part of an ensemble cast that included Salman Khan, Kajol, Mamta Kulkarni, Raakhee and Amrish Puri. The film, which dealt with the concept ofreincarnation, became the secondhighest grossing film of the year in India.[55] He followed it with Aditya Chopra's directorial debut, the romance Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. A major critical and commercial success, the film became the year's top-grossing production in India and abroad.[56] The film was declared an "all time blockbuster"; it remains the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema[57] and as of 2011, it is still playing at the Maratha Mandir theatre in Mumbai.[58] Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has grossed over 1.2 billion worldwide. The film

won ten Filmfare Awards, and Khan's performance as a young NRI who falls for Kajol's character while on a trip across Europe won him critical acclaim and his second Best Actor Award at the Filmfare. In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the film amongst the 25 Must See Bollywood Films, citing it as a "trendsetter of sorts".[59] Raja Sen reviewed, "Khan gives a fabulous performance, redefining the lover for the 1990s with great panache. He's cool and flippant, but sincere enough to appeal to the junta [audience]. The performance itself is, like the best in the business, played well enough to come across as effortless, as non-acting. "[60] 1996 proved to be a disappointing year for Khan, as he appeared in two critical and commercial failiures, Praveen Nischol's English Babu Desi Mem andMahesh Bhatt' Chaahat[61] However, in 1997, his starring role in Subhash Ghai's social drama Pardes earned him commercial success. The film, which also featured Mahima Chaudhry and Apurva Agnihotri, saw him portray the role of Arjun, a musician facing a moral dilemma. His performance earned him a nomination for the Best Actor at the Filmfare Award ceremony. He then featured in Aziz Mirza's romantic comedy, Yes Boss, opposite Juhi Chawla. Upon release, the film performed moderately well at the box-office.[62] His final release of the year was Yash Chopra's blockbuster musical romanance, Dil to Pagal Hai. The project, also featuring Madhuri Dixit and Karishma Kapoor, marked his second collaboration with the filmmaker. Khan essayed the role of Rahul, a stage director who falls in love with one of his new actresses, played by Dixit. The film as well as his performance met with critical appreciation; he won his third Best Actor Award at the Filmfare.[62]

In 1998, Khan appeared in three films. His first release was Mahesh Bhatt's action comedy, Duplicate opposite Juhi Chawla and Sonali Bendre. The film, which saw him portray a double role, marked his first of many collaborations with Yash Johar's production company, Dharma Productions. The film however, failed to do well at the box office.[63] He then won critical praise for his performance in Mani Ratnam's acclaimed Dil Se... The film was the third in Ratnam's trilogy of terror films that depict human relationships against a background of Indian politics, after Roja (1992) and Bombay (1995).[64][65] Khan played the part of Amarkant "Amar" Varma, an All India Radio correspondent, who develops an infatuation for a mysterious terrorist, played by Manisha Koirala.[66] Rediff.com published, "Khan delivers a compelling performance. He plays the part with taut restraint, and expresses exasperation superbly."[67] The film,which failed financially in India, however, emerged as a commercial success overseas,[68] becoming the first Indian film to enter the top 10 at the United Kingdom box office.[69][70] His final release of the year was Karan Johar's candyfloss romance, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which paired him with Kajol and Rani Mukerji.

Khan played the role of Rahul Khanna, a college student, who falls in love with his best friend,

Anjali(Kajol) after the death of his wife, Tina( Rani Mukerji), years after breaking contact with her. His performance won him the Best Actor award at the Filmfare ceremony for the second consecutive year. Khan's only release in 1999, Baadshah oppositeTwinkle Khanna, was an average grosser, for which he earned a Filmfare Award nomination for Best Performance in a Comic Role.[72] In the same year, Khan set up his own production company,Dreamz Unlimited with actor, Juhi Chawla and director, Aziz Mirza. (see below). In 2000, the three collaborated on their first film, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. The film opened to mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike and failed to emulate the commercial success of the trio's previous films, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and Yes Boss.[73] Khan's next release was Mansoor Khan's action drama Josh. The film starred Khan as the leader of a Christian gang in Goa, with Aishwarya Rai playing his twin sister. The film emerged as a box office success in both India and abroad.[73] Vinayak Chakravorty of Hindustan Times wrote that Khan "basks in his tailormade role, donning with panache the garb of a streetsmart tough. "[74] He next played the role of a Muslim archaeologist, beaten to death during the unrest following the partition of India in Hey Ram. Directed by and co-starring Kamal Hassan, the film was critically acclaimed and was selected as India's entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars that year.[75] Additionally, for the Tamil version of the film, Khan dubbed for his own lines.[76] His final release of the year was Aditya Chopra's romantic drama, Mohabbatein, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan. The film was a major financial success, and Khan's performance as a music teacher was acclaimed by critics; Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama mentioned him to be "outstanding as Raj Aryan." He was awarded his second Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film.

In 2001, Khan produced and essayed the titular role in Santosh Sivan's historical epic, Asoka, a partly fictionalised account of the life of Ashoka the Great.[77] The film was screened at the Venice Film Festival and the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival to a positive response.[78] The film, which also featured Kareena Kapoor received generally positive reviews with Khan receiving favourable reactions for his performance; Rediff concluded that "he puts in a strong performance, in this well defined role."[79] He next collaborated with Karan Johar again in the family drama, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, in which he featured as a part of an ensemble cast that included Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan. The film was a major financial success in India and the top-grossing Indian production of all-time in the overseas market until 2006, earning over 1.17 billion worldwide.[80] Khan's

portrayal of Rahul Raichand, an adopted son of Bachchan's character, who disowns him for marrying a girl belonging to a lower socio-economic group than his family, played by Kajol, met with wide public appreciation. Khan described the character of Rahul by saying, "I love the vulnerability and the honesty in his eyes. He has the appeal of a boy next door. Besides, his intensity and ability to convey emotions without words is amazing."[81] Taran Adarsh reviewed, "Khan sparkles yet again", noting that he performed the part "with amazing poise, class, honesty and maturity".[82] It garnered him another nomination for the Filmfare Best Actor Award. Khan termed Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham as "a turning point in his career".[81] In 2002, Khan played the titlular role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period romance, Devdas, which was the most expensive Bollywood film ever made at the time.[83] This was the third Hindi film adaptation of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel of the same name. Featuring opposite Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit, Khan's performance as a rebellious alcoholic was well received and he won yet another Filmfare Best Actor Award. The film surfaced as the highest-grossing film of the year in India and overseas, earning a revenue of 39 crore (US$6.7 million) domestically.[84][85]Devdas won numerous awards, including 10 Filmfare Awards and received a special screening at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.[86][87] It received a BAFTA nomination for Best Foreign Language Film as well and was India's entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. In an interview with Rediff.com, Khan commented, "We stars live in this bubble where everyone is smiling at you, where everyone loves you. Somehow, you lose touch with real, deep down sadness. Working on this film put us in touch with that emotion. "[36] After the release of the film, Khan took a six months break from acting. He explained that during his break, he "just enjoyed the feeling of being sad". Khan also starred alongside Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan in the family-drama Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam. The film, which took six years to make, due to unending production problems,[88] emerged as an average grosser at the box office.[84]

2003: Spine injury and subsequent surgery

In December 2001, while filming a special appearance for Krishna Vamsi's Shakti: The Power, Khan suffered a spine injury while doing one of the action sequences.[89] He flew to Lucknow a week later for a series of stage shows which led to further aggravation of his condition.[89] By the time he returned to Mumbai, Khan was

experiencing severe pain.[89] He was subsequently diagnosed with a prolapsed disc between vertebrae six and seven.[89] Khan is one of the few celebrities worldwide to have had the problem.[90] Hoping to avoid surgery in a bid to not delay his pending projects, and based on his former experience with a failed knee surgery three years earlier, Khan tried multiple alternative therapies from homoeopathy to Reiki but nothing offered a permanent solution.[89] He eventually shot Devdas (2002) and Chalte Chalte (2003) in acute pain and continued with the shoot for Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) until the day he left for London.[89][91] He reached the point where he had doctors and ambulances on standby on the sets.[91] By the beginning of 2003, Khan's condition severely worsened.[89][92] The slipped disc was eventually touching his nerves which put pressure on his legs and neck.[92] It also presented the risk of paralysis of his arms. In February, Khan was told by doctors that he had to undergo an urgent Anterior Cervical Discectomy.[90][92] The main concern was the possibility of irreparable nerve damage during surgery which would have left him with a permanent weak left side.[93] During his acceptance speech for the Filmfare Best Actor award he received for his performance in Devdas(2002), Khan stated that emotionally he was a bit shaken as he was going in for a surgery that was described by him as a not a very good thing to go in for. [94] The surgery took place on 24 February in Wellington Hospital, London and lasted for one hour a titanium disc was inserted in his spine and he was discharged after two days.[89] Khan faced several post-operative problems including hoarseness, weakness, pain and high risk of infection.[89][90] In an interview with Rediff four months after the surgery, he said "I am supposed to be on the road to recovery. For a year, I have to take things easy. I have my good and bad moments. Mornings aren't good. Till about 2 pm, I feel a lot of pain. When I bend down or play with my kids, I get some pain in the neck (...) For now I have to go to London every month for a checkup. "[91] He resumed shooting Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003) and Main Hoon Na (2004) in June of the same year however, the songs sequences in those films had to be postponed to late October.[95] The injury resulted in Khan cutting down noticeably on work and reducing his number of films per year.[91]

200310: Stardom and critical acclaim

In 2003, Khan produced and starred in Aziz Mirza's, Chalte Chalte, a romance dealing with the troubles faced by a married couple, opposite Rani Mukerji.

Khan received unanimous critical appreciation for the portrayal of Aman Mathur, a man with a fatal heart disease. The Hindu noted, "His enthusiasm unbounded, his energy unbridled, Shah Rukh is in form here. And as a guy with a few days to live and a life to spend in a moment, he looks for your sympathy. He reduces many to tears. And with each tear he rises a rank higher in the echelons of actors".[98] The film was a critical and commercial success, becoming the second highest grossing film domestically and the top-grossing Bollywood

film in the overseas market that year.[96] When adjusted for inflation its total gross worldwide is billion.[99] The film earned him another Filmfare Best Actor Award nomination.

He produced and starred in Farah Khan's directorial debut, the action comedy Main Hoon Na alongside Suniel Shetty, Sushmita Sen, Kirron Kher, Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan. Dealing with a fictionalized account of the IndiaPakistan relations, the film emerged as a major commercial success.[100] He then played an Indian Air Force pilot, Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh in Yash Chopra's love saga Veer-Zaara alongside Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta.

the 55th Berlin Film Festival to critical appreciation.[101] Veer-Zaara, which narrated the love story of Singh and a Pakistani woman, Zaara Haayat Khan (Zinta) fetched Khan appreciation with Rama Sharma from The Tribune writing, "Shah Rukh Khan here scales the heights of sensitivity, rising above the mundane. His expressions are mature and reach out to touch the heart of the common man. "[102] In December 2004, Khan received wide critical acclaim for his performance in Ashutosh Gowariker's social drama, Swades. Also featuring Gayatri Joshi, Swades narrated the story of a NASAscientist who returns to India to get in touch with his roots. Several film critics consider Khan's performance in the film to be his best till date.[10] Critic Jitesh Pillai analyzed, "Ultimately your heart leaps out to the magical Shah Rukh Khan, who unarguably gives his career's finest performance. Shorn of any artifice or nervous energy, his anguish is tangible. He inhabits Mohan Bharghava with consummate ease, you can feel the earnestness of his intentions, the wetness of his tears".[103] Filmfare included his performance in the 2010 issue of the "Top 80 Iconic Performances".[104]He was nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award for all three of his releases in 2004, and eventually won the award for Swades.[100] The film itself was featured on Rediff's list of the 10 Best Bollywood Movies of the Decade.[105]

His only release in 2005, Paheli opposite Rani Mukerji, was screened at the Sundance Film Festival and was chosen as Indias official entry to the Oscars for the 79th Academy Awards.[106] Despite flopping at the boxoffice, Paheli was critically acclaimed, as was Khan's performance, which Raja Sen called " A top-notch performance, [That] justifies his supremacy in the film world".[107] The following year, Khan collaborated with Karan Johar for the third time for the adult-drama, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. With an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Kirron Kher, the film told the story of two unhappily married couples in New York, which results in an extramarital affair. Khan played the role of Dev Saran, a bitter and cynical former football player, who is insecure of his wife's (Zinta) successful career as a fashion magazine editor.

His subsequently essayed the titular role in the action thriller, Don, a remake of the 1978 film of the same name. The film as well as Khan received mixed comments from film critics. His performance was extensively compared to that of Amitabh Bachchan, the actor in the original.[109] Taran Adarsh noted that Khan "does very well as Don. He enacts the evil character with flourish. But he fails to carry off the other role [Vijay] with conviction. It looks made up, it doesn't come natural to him at all."[109] While Derek Elley of Variety argued that "it's hard to accept him (Khan) as the title character" and that "Khan is far more convincing as Vijay, playing up to his rom-com fanbase with plenty of boyish humor."[110] The film became the fifth-highest grossing film of the year in India[108] and the highest grossing film of the year in the overseas market. It grossed a total of billion worldwide.

Both Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Don earned him Best Actor nominations at the Filmfare,

while the latter earned him a Best Actor nomination at theAsian Film Awards. In 2007, Khan featured in Yash Raj Films' Chak De! India, a semi-fictional account of the Indian women's national hockey team. Khan stated that he accepted the role of Kabir Khan, the captain of the team, because he liked "the thought of a film whose plot is about women".[111] Additionally, he was a hockey player during his college days and aspired to be a professional hockey player before he suffered a back injury.[112] Khan noted that while this background helped him during the filming, he also felt that the experience of playing again after a long time was "very difficult and different". Khan tore a hamstring three days before the filming was over.[113][114] Chak De!India was a major critical and commercial success in India and abroad. [115] Earning over 1.03 billion worldwide,[80] Chak De! India became the third-highest grossing film of 2007 in India and

won Khan yet another Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN wrote about his performance, "For the first time since Swades, Shah Rukh plays a role without any of his typical trappings, without any of his trademark quirks. He sinks his teeth into the part of the determined coach and comes up with such a terrific performance. He's hopeful at times and despondent at others, he's humorous at times, and stern

at others. He plays Kabir Khan like a real flesh-and-blood human being. "[116] Filmfare also included his performance in the 2010 issue of the "Top 80 Iconic Performances".[11] In the same year, Khan starred in Farah Khan's second film, Om Shanti Om alongside Deepika Padukone, Shreyas Talpade and Arjun Rampal. In the re-incarnation melodrama, Khan essayed the role of Om Prakash Makhija, a junior artiste from the 1970s who is reborn in the 2000s as a superstar named Om Kapoor. His performance was generally well received by critics; Khalid Mohammed from Hindustan Times wrote, "[T]he enterprise belongs to Shah Rukh Khan, who tackles comedy, high drama and action with his signature style spontaneous and intuitively intelligent. "[117] The film emerged as the year's highest grossing motion picture in India and the overseas market with a worldwide gross of over another nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare ceremony. 1.48 billion.[118] Om Shanti Om earned him

Khan with Kajol and Johar at the 2010 Berlin International Film Festival for their filmMy Name Is Khan. His performance in the film was acclaimed and he won his eighth Filmfare Award in the Best Actor category.

In 2008, Khan collaborated with Aditya Chopra for the third time for the romantic drama, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, opposite newcomer Anushka Sharma. Khan played Surinder Sahni, a shy man with a low self-esteem, whose love for his accidental wife (Sharma), causes him to transform himself into the loud and fun-loving alter-ego of Raj. The film received mixed reviews from film critics, but was declared a blockbuster at the box-office.[119] His performance was appreciated by critics, with Rachel Saltz of The New York Times writing, "The Surinder/Raj dual role seems tailor-made (probably was) for Mr. Khan, who gets to show off his twin talents: he suffers nobly and entertains with panache. "[120] It earned him yet another nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare ceremony. In December of the same year, Khan suffered a serious shoulder injury while filming for a cameo role in Mudassar Aziz's Dulha Mil Gaya.

Khan spent several months researching by reading books, watching videos and talking to people affected with the disorder in an effort to portray the character of Rizwan Khan.[125] In an interview with Hindustan Times he said, "Whenever you're dealing with a disorder or a near atypical situation, the first thought is that the sort of parameters you have to set that in no which way you are derogatory or deriding the disorder. The second part is you have to come as close to reality in depicting that characterization and so one had to study a lot and one does get worried" [126] Upon release, My Name is Khan received positive reviews from critics and became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time in the overseas market. Khan's performance in the film was appreciated by most critics with Jay Wesissberg from Variety reviewing, "Khan uses the mannerisms associated with Asperger's averted eyes, springy steps, stuttered repetitions of memorized texts yet captures the personality beneath the condition in a standout performance sure to receive the Autism Society's gold seal of approval. "[127] My Name is Khan fetched Khan his eighth Filmfare Award for Best Actor, thereby sharing the record with actor Dilip Kumar.

Rukh Khan. His Aiyyo-speaking Shekhar Subramaniam is caricaturish but charming, while as G.One, he gives even his robotic video-game character a charismatic edge." and DNA India added: "Khan is in his element and endearing as superhero G.One, but annoyingly over the top as video game creator Shekhar".[134][135] His second release of the year was Don 2, a sequel to the 2006 hit, Don.[136] In order to prepare for his role, Khan exercised extensively and performed most of the stunts himself.[137][138] His performance fetched him positive comments from critics with Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India noting, "Shah Rukh remains in command and never loses his foothold, neither through the dramatic sequences nor through the action cuts.

He is somebody who has no boundaries."[261] Khan, one the other hand, has also been criticized by some film critics for his "trademark" overacting[262] and limited acting chops. Derek Bose writes: "The joke going around

then was that Shahrukh Khan had no more than five expressions to play about with and by cleverly juggling them in film after film, made his mark as a superstar".[263] Similarly, while reviewing his performance in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, another critic noted: "Someone give the man an oxygen tank before he overacts himself unconscious."[264] During the span of his career, Khan has played an array, of roles from various film genres; romantic dramas, comedies, action thrillers, horrors, sport films, period films and Sci-fi superherofilms.[265] Following the success of Baazigar (1993) and Darr (1993), Khan's film roles were subject to wide critical analysis.[266] His performance in the early stages of his career has often been described as "energetic" and "intense".[266] The Daily News and Analysis wrote:"[and] then he came, sliding down stairs on a slab of ice, cartwheeling, somersaulting, lips trembling, eyes trembling, bringing to the screen the kind of physical energy not seen since Shammi Kapoor in his heydays. This was a totally different kind of acting from we had ever seen visceral, intense, maniacal one moment and cloyingly boyish the next."[266] He was also praised for being a risk taker by "pushing the envelope" playing characters that were considered taboo at the time.[265][266]Khan was credited for changing the image of the typical conventional Indian hero; being one of the pioneers of returning the romantic boyish character to the Indian screen.[265][266] Harish Dugh from The Indian Express noted: "The die was cast when [King] Khan replaced the Bachchan bravado with the portrayal of a very humane and likeable, simple and feeling young man." He also added: "Welcome to a new-look Bollywood. Today, it stands virtually transformed by SRK single-handedly into an entity that caters to people's desire to see their superstar reflect their own weaknesses, pain and anguish."[265] With the release of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995), Khan began his long lasting foray into the romantic genre which will continue with numerous films such as Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Devdas (2002), Veer-Zaara (2004) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012).[266][267] Due to his appearance in these films, he has developed a "romantic lover" image and has been often tagged as an icon of romance in Hindi cinema.[258][267] An image that has been met with polarizing reactions; while some argue that he "became trapped in the conventional romantic lover-boy image, continuing to essay, over the years, a series of roles that were mind-numbingly alike"[266] others debate that "it is the romantic SRK that |I] connect with the most" and that he "plays the romantic man with such pizzazz and in the old-world style that he is treat to watch, as he woos the hearts of his co-stars and his audience!".[268] Anupama Chopra further noted: "You have to admire his ability to play the romantic hero. We've seen him do it for two decades but he still makes it compelling."[269] Following his portrayal of such characters as those in Dil Se.. (1998), Swades (2004), Chak De! India (2007) and My Name Is Khan (2010) and Don 2 (2011), Khan was recognized for his versatility.[258][265] In 2010, Filmfare Magazine included two of his performancesfrom Swades and Chak De! Indiain its list of "80 Iconic Performances". The Indian Express noted: [Khan] has tailored and leveraged his acting skills in such a versatile manner as to impress a demanding audience world-over with his ability to change his acting in a manner unforeseen in the annals of Indian cinema."[265]

Profile: Todd Ligare talks filming with TGR and more

February 2nd, 2012by Henrik Lampert

AS SEEN IN THE JANUARY 2012 ISSUE OF FREESKIER. WORDS AND INTERVIEW BY SHAY WILLIAMS. IN THIS YEARS TGR FLICK, ONE FOR THE ROAD, TODD LIGARE TURNED IN A PERFORMANCE THAT ENCAPSULATES THE EXUBERANCE OF A ROOKIE WITH THE SKILLS OF A GRIZZLED VET. LIGARE OPENED, CLOSED AND PERMEATED THE ENTIRE MOVIE LIKE A STALKER YOU CANNOT ESCAPE. EXCEPT YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH SOMEONE WHO SKIS THIS WELL. SO WHEN THE TGR TOUR

ROLLED THROUGH BOULDER THIS FALL, WE COULDNT PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN AND CHAT WITH MR. ONE FOR THE ROAD. WHAT WAS IT LIKE BEING THE MAIN CHARACTER IN TGRS FLICK THIS YEAR? When I saw the movie for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard that my presence was going to be large, but you dont know until you see it. I didnt go up to Jackson to see the editing process, so I had my fingers crossed that all these things Id been hearing were true. For me it felt like the culmination of a lot of hard work. It was really exciting. THE SCENE WHERE TODD JONES CALLS YOU ABOUT AK, THAT WASNT FAKED? No, that was actually legit. A lot of packing montages were shown throughout the flick, so they kind of teed me up under that guise. Thats how they ended up with a camera in the room.

HOW WAS ALASKA FOR YOUR FIRST TIME? The AK trip was really, really satisfying. My trip was short, only a couple days, but it met all my expectations. My first run was Sage and I toeing into this really creamy spine line. That one run was the standout highlight of the trip. I fully had that moment where I was about to drop in thinking, This is what Ive been waiting for.

PORTRAIT BY MARK FISHER YOUR TIMING WAS PRETTY LUCKY, RIGHT? Yeah, definitely, because the guys who were on the first block waited a while. They were having a really slim year. We were basically the only crew who stuck to our plan up there, everyone else was pulling the plug. There was a lot of weather, and I came in at the very end. HOW DID YOU GET IN WITH TGR? I was on Dynastar when I made the transition from racing to freeskiing. I was really upfront with everyone that my goal was to shoot with TGR. Even though I had a couple other things going on, I told John Minahan [Dynastar Team Manager] that if there was any opportunity with them at all, Id drop everything and be there immediately. Basically I was just begging those guys for an in. With any film company, theyll give anyone a shot, but they wont spend much time with anyone who isnt getting it done. The first day I was in Jackson to shoot with thema sledding dayI was nervous, but you get a couple shots, and then they give you a couple more days and so on.

WHATS THE PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR? Because of last season, I will have much better resources than ever, hopefully. I kind of have that opportunity to follow the snow, wait it out and see where its good. My BC trip last year was really eye-opening, a lot like the AK trip. I know in my head that I want to do as much as possible in both of those locations. As far as the meat of the season, well see how it goes. I think Ill definitely be in Jackson for a bit. Its starting to feel like a second home there. A lot of people who have been watching the TGR films the last few years think Im based out of there. RIGHT: LIGARE IN JUNEAU, AK SHOT BY MARK FISHER

WHAT MADE YOU RETURN TO UTAH AFTER COLLEGE? When I was done with school in Colorado I had that question: Where do I go? In the West there are a few obvious places: Squaw, Jackson, Utah and Whistler. I thought about trying to do the Whistler scene, but that transition across the border held me back. But I like Utah. A lot of people dont know it as a fun place, you know? We have our bike posse and go climbing YOUVE FOUND THE UNDERGROUND CLUB SCENE Yeah, totally [laughs]. Utah has good skiing, thats what it comes down to
