<P> Although Khan was given the birth name Shahrukh Khan, he prefers his name to be written as Shah Rukh Khan, and is commonly referred to by the acronym SRK . He married Gauri Chibber, a Punjabi Hindu, in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony on 25 October 1991, after a six - year courtship . They have a son Aryan (born 1997) and a daughter Suhana (born 2000). In 2013, they became parents of a third child named AbRam, who was born through a surrogate mother . According to Khan, while he strongly believes in Islam, he also values his wife's religion . His children follow both religions; at home the Qur'an is situated next to the Hindu deities . </P> <P> Khan's first starring role was in Lekh Tandon's television series Dil Dariya, which began shooting in 1988, but production delays led to the 1989 series Fauji becoming his television debut instead . In the series, which depicted a realistic look at the training of army cadets, he played the leading role of Abhimanyu Rai . This led to further appearances in Aziz Mirza's television series Circus (1989--90) and Mani Kaul's miniseries Idiot (1991). Khan also played minor parts in the serials Umeed (1989) and Wagle Ki Duniya (1988--90), and in the English - language television film In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones (1989). His appearances in these serials led critics to compare his look and acting style with those of the film actor Dilip Kumar, but Khan was not interested in film acting at the time, thinking that he was not good enough . </P> <P> Khan changed his decision to act in films in April 1991, citing it as a way to escape the grief of his mother's death . He moved from Delhi to Mumbai to pursue a full - time career in Bollywood, and was quickly signed to four films . His first offer was for Hema Malini's directorial debut Dil Aashna Hai, and by June, he had started his first shoot . His film debut was in Deewana, which was released in June 1992 . In it he starred alongside Divya Bharti as the second male lead behind Rishi Kapoor . Deewana became a box office hit and launched Khan's Bollywood career; he earned the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award for his performance . Also released in 1992 were Khan's first films as the male lead, Chamatkar, Dil Aashna Hai, and the comedy Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, which was his first of many collaborations with the actress Juhi Chawla . His initial film roles saw him play characters who displayed energy and enthusiasm . According to Arnab Ray of Daily News and Analysis, Khan brought a new kind of acting as he was "sliding down stairs on a slab of ice, cartwheeling, somersaulting, lips trembling, eyes trembling, bringing to the screen the kind of physical energy...visceral, intense, maniacal one moment and cloyingly boyish the next ." </P> <P> Among his 1993 releases, Khan garnered the most appreciation for portraying villainous roles in two box office hits: an obsessive lover in Darr, and a murderer in Baazigar . Darr marked the first of Khan's many collaborations with filmmaker Yash Chopra and his company Yash Raj Films . Khan's stammering and the use of the phrase "I love you, K-k-k - Kiran" were popular with audiences . For Darr he received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role, also known as the Best Villain Award, but lost to Paresh Rawal for Sir . Baazigar, in which Khan played an ambiguous avenger who murders his girlfriend, shocked Indian audiences with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula . In The Cambridge Companion to Modern Indian Culture, Sonal Khullar called the character "the consummate anti-hero". His performance in Baazigar, which would be his first of many appearances with actress Kajol, won Khan his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor . In 2003, the Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema stated that Khan "defied the image of the conventional hero in both these films and created his own version of the revisionist hero". Also in 1993, Khan performed a nude scene with Deepa Sahi in Maya Memsaab, although parts of it were censored by the Central Board of Film Certification . The ensuing controversy prompted him to eschew such scenes in future roles . </P>
