From DDLJ to Dunki, check out 10 most iconic looks of Shah Rukh Khan from his Bollywood films that we just cannot get enough of.
Shah Rukh Khan is rightly known as the ‘Baadshah of Bollywood’ and ‘King Khan’, owing to the fact that he is certainly one of the most successful film stars. He is not only a famous name in Bollywood but also is loved by the Indian diaspora across the globe. In some of his recent cinematic outings, including Dunki, Pathaan and Jawan, the actor has yet again managed to keep the audience hooked with his on-screen characters by offering something unique.
As the actor celebrates his 59th birthday on November 2, it cannot be denied that he’s always had an iconic look to his onscreen characters, be it printed shirts in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai or the leather jacket look in DDLJ. So, on his special occasion, let’s revisit some of his memorable looks from his onscreen characters:
In the 1995 romantic film, Shah Rukh Khan left everyone in awe by being the quintessential hero. His chemistry with Kajol, the plot and the songs were loved as well. However, it was SRK’s killer charm and his look in an oversized leather jacket that caught everyone’s attention.
In the film, SRK played one of the famous guys in the college, and thanks to costume designer Shabina Khan, the actor embodied the ultimate 90s look in oversized printed shirts, which he paired with a thick gold chain around the neck. And who could miss the friendship bands.
In the 2000 film, Shah Rukh Khan was seen as the leader of the Eagle gang, who dressed up in leather jackets over vests or T-shirts, baggy jeans, and silver accessories, along with a headband.
In the film, SRK played a mature professor role, and was seen donning a cardigan over his sweatshirt. The look remains iconic till date and is synonymous with the quintessential Bollywood hero.
In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s drama, Shah Rukh Khan was seen as a tragic hero who succumbs to alcohol, and in his most iconic look from the film, he was seen in a green trench coat over a striped shirt, a bow tie, along with a silk scarf.
In the remake version of the 1978 Don, director Farhan Akhtar got SRK on board for the dual role of a mafia, aka Don. For SRK’s costumes, there were a lot of blacks, be it fitted leather jackets or velvet outerwear, much like Keanu Reeves from Matrix.
Aligning with the film’s theme of past life reincarnation, SRK was seen in chequered suits with flared pants and a big sideburn.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan not only broke several box office records, but SRK’s abs, his man bun, his green paisley printed shirt from Ritu Kumar remain the highlight as well.
In Jawan, the actor opted for an entirely different look, and went in for a clean, bald, rugged look, which caught everyone’s attention.
In Dunki, SRK brought back sweater vests, which he paired with a long kurta, making it a unique attire.
