Not so long ago, a Deewana walked onto the silver screen and straight into our hearts. A chamatkar for him, and our dil? Woh aashna hogaya! Without a godfather in the industry, he was a marionette pulling his own strings. Kya baazigar tha woh! Darr toh laga… cold, without a trace of remorse, he was villainy personified. Anjaam? Zamana Deewana ho chuka tha! Thus began the extraordinary rise of a king- a humble dilli wala, the undisputed king of romance!
Here, we have rounded up some of Shahrukh’s most iconic looks. We owe these trends to you, Khan!
1. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Since it is all you guys wear… remember his varsity wardrobe? He created a rage with his ‘COOL’ chain, his polos, his speedos and his baggy sweatshirts. Athleisure is a trend fashion everyone has caught up with. Know who to thank?
2. Mohabbatein
He was definitely the hottest guy in Gurukul and spreading the magic of love, SRK as Raj was on point in the movie. You’ve been wearing your sweater around your shoulders; this is how that trend went viral-
3. Dilwale Dhulaniya Le Jayenge
That flannel layered under leather jackets and his Lennons can up your fashion game from 0-100, real quick! If you’re rocking this look all winter this season, you owe it to him!
4. Josh
We fondly remember the bandana, the open-finger gloves, and the press-ear cuff paired with a leather jacket- look! PRETTY DAMN COOL! Everybody wanted to prove hum bhi hain josh mai and started copying Khan’s swag!
5. Raees
That macho beard, those rimless spectacles and dark eyes became a fashion statement we haven’t quite gotten over yet!
Pardes
Long and wind-swept hair, dreamy eyes and that dimpled smile, and of course his white newspaper boy hat! You stole this style move from him and tried to pull it off, just admit it!
Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa
Baggy t-shirts and lounge-y trousers were a big mood of the nineties! But the captain hat? That goes to SRK!\
Dear Zindagi
The classic crisp button down shirts, jeans and sneakers – We were falling in love too, Kaira!
Don 2
That killer man bun in the opening scene and those all black ensembles with his don’t give a damn attitude… sent our adrenals on overdrive and our myocardium exploded with love! Yup, boom!
