Shah Rukh Khan, who made his TV debut with the 1988 series Fauji, became a household name soon after. In 1992, Shah Rukh Khan made his Bollywood debut with Raj Kanwar's romantic drama Deewana.

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's 1995 romantic drama Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema - it was still running in Maratha Mandir, a cinema hall in Mumbai, before movie theatres shut due to lockdown.
