Shah Rukh Khan has a powerful screen presence, and he does not need a full-length feature film to prove it. Even a glimpse of the actor in films makes his character memorable. So, on his birthday, we look back at some Bollywood films where the actor made memorable cameos.

Pehla Nasha

Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan made cameos in Ashutish Gowariker’s debut film. They meet the main character of the film, Deepak (Deepak Tijori) and praise him for his work. Shah Rukh mentions his films Chamatkar’ and Deewana while speaking to Deepak.

Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega

SRK’s cameo in this film is if Kuch Kuch Hota turned dark. His character Rahul Khanna has turned unstable after the death of his wife and mistaken Rani’s character for her. The film also stars Salman Khan.

Saathiya

Shah Rukh Khan made a cameo as Tabu’s husband in Saathiya which stars Rani Mukerji and Vivek Oberoi in the lead. This was his second collaboration with Mani Ratnam after Dil Se.. (1998) where he played the lead.

Luck By Chance

Farhan Akhtar plays a young actor who comes to Mumbai to chase his dreams in his sister Zoya Akhtar’s directorial debut, Luck By Chance. Shah Rukh, who appears as himself, advises Farhan’s character to not forget the ones who stood by him before he was famous. He has a profound character with Farhan on stardom.

Heyy Babyy

Remember how Anupam Kher reacted when he saw Shah Rukh entering the scene in the song Mast Kalandar? That was our reaction as well when SRK’s cameo was revealed.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Shah Rukh Khan makes a cameo in this Karan Johar directorial and does what he is best at – advising people on love and relationships. He plays Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s ex-husband in the film. During his brief cameo, he spoke to Ranbir Kapoor’s character about the power of one sided and unrequited love.

Tubelight

A Shah Rukh Khan cameo in a Salman Khan film is a double treat for Bollywood fans. SRK played a magician in the film and inspires Salman’s character.

Brahmastra Part One: Shiva

Before coming back to the big screen after four years with Pathaan (2023), SRK made a brief yet powerful appearance in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra: Part One Shiva (2022) where he reprised his character Mohan Bhargav from Swades.

Tiger 3

Shah Rukh Khan’s most recent cameo was in Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Tiger 3. He reprised his role as Pathaan and entered at a point in the film where Salman’s character needed help.

Shah Rukh Khan’s association with Filmfare goes back a long time. The actor started hosting the awards in 2003, but he won his first Black Lady in 1993 for his debut film Deewana. The actor who is well known for his sharp sense of humour and immense charm has given several memorable moments on the stage of Filmfare, that remain a significant part of our pop culture to date. On his 59th birthday, we look back at some of the most iconic moments of Shah Rukh Khan at the Filmfare Awards.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Emotional Speech

Shah Rukh Khan accepted the Best Actor Award for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai at the 1999 Filmfare Awards. While he thanked Yash Johar and Hiroo Johar, his emotional speech won hearts. He recalled Yash Ji’s advice of not giving up, even if one does not get it right the first time.

When Irrfan Khan Recreated Mohabbatein’s Scene

Irrfan Khan is one such actor whose void is still felt in the film industry. He had paid tribute to King Khan’s Mohabbatein at the Filmfare awards in his own humorous way. He held a violin in his hand with a sweater on him and recreated a scene of SRK playing the violin in the film. The late actor also gave a twist to the dialogue Ek Ladki Thi Deewani Si. The banter between the two legendary actors left the audience in splits.

Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla’s Unmissable Chemistry

Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla’s chemistry is not only confined to their movies. At the 52nd Filmfare Awards, the duo left everyone in stitches with their stage presence and banter. Shah Rukh compliments Juhi for her looks but the latter takes it upon her to roast SRK. And we must say, her humour was on point and Shah Rukh played along.

SRK’s ‘Hosting Disorder’ Skit

It is a known fact that no one can host award shows like Shah Rukh does it. So, what happens when the actor is not allowed to host shows? He gets a ‘Hosting disorder’.
This skit remains one of the most iconic moments of Shah Rukh at the Filmfare Awards.

Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan hosting Filmfare Awards
In 2007, the two Khans of Bollywood came together to host the Filmfare Awards. They entered the stage on an auto and SRK asked Saif Ali Khan to pay for the ride because he did not have money. Shah Rukh and Saif also did a segment where they wore towels and face packs and roasted their industry colleagues. Shah Rukh called him and Saif vulgar for their shenanigans on the stage and joked that the organisers will never invite them to host the awards again.
