10 | Also called [[FanNickname SRK]] or [[FanNickname King Khan]] by those in the know. Chances are, if you've heard of MediaNotes/{{Bollywood}}, you've heard of SRK (born Shahrukh Khan, 2 November 1965). Maybe in a newspaper article calling him 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. |

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!" |
