2002-2003: Shah Rukh Khan Actor of the Decade

Shahrukh Khan's debut was in typical B'wood fashion: in 'Deewana', he played the ever-singing, ever-dancing lover boy with wavy hair... What made Shahrukh's portrayal of this clichéd character different was the verve and energy with which he played it. SRK has managed to retain the same energy level throughout his 19-year career. His detractors have often accused him of hamming but SRK is an adamant advocate of whatever he does, and has been proved right by the enormous initial pull his name purports at both Indian and overseas Box office. In 'Devdas', Shahrukh did a character that was immortalised earlier by none other than Dilip Kumar. Shahrukh perfectly complemented Sanjay Leela Bhansali's colourful palette and melodrama concentrate with his intense depiction of the lead character. The typical SRK strategy of overindulging in himself paid good dividends here: For once, the narcissism of the actor mixed well with the self loathing of the character. And people instantly forgot the Dilip Kumar portrayal and cozied up to the new one.

SRK's other notable performances of the decade were in 'Chak De India' (Kabeer Khan) and 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' (Surinder Sahni/Raj Kapoor).

"I don't sit around complaining about the lack of good roles. I will play Raj 85 times and still make him different."

"There are only two Khans. Genghis Khan and Shahrukh Khan"

"I'd die if people didn't recognise me. I would not be able to walk on the road if people didn't mob me. That's what I work for."

"Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough."

"Awards who ignore me are losers"
