Shah Rukh Khan is one of the greatest entertainers of our times...
He has played many roles -- from the cute lover boys roles, to obsessive lovers, from playing a ghost to a teacher. But more often than not, his character has always been 'sporty.'
His latest film Chak De! India sees him playing a hockey coach, and we thought it was a good time to have a look at SRK and his sporting moves.
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
Shah Rukh, as Dev Saran, was a failed football player, who lost his career to an accident. The film saw him walking with a limp, something that SRK had never attempted before.
Later, he turns his attention to coaching his son.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Even though basketball is not a very popular sport in India, Karan Johar made sure the game looked interesting in his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
SRK and a very tom-boyish Kajol played the game convincingly, as college-goers. But it looked even better when the duo met after eight years, and challenged each other to a game. Sari-clad Kajol won.
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
The longest running film ever in history of Indian cinema introduces an aggressive Shah Rukh playing rugby.
Though the rest of the film does not show SRK playing the game, this scene was mindblowing.
The music, dialogue, performances and direction by debutant Aditya Chopra has made the film an all-time classic.
Baazigar
One of SRK's first big hits, Baazigar showed the actor in three characters -- a nerdy boyfriend, a flamboyant car racer, and a killer.
SRK pretends to be a car racer, and smartly loses the race to his prospective father-in-law, Dilip Tahil, to win over his confidence, and his daughter Kajol's heart.
Chamatkar
Shah Rukh plays a cricket coach for this one. Teamed up with Naseeruddin Shah, who plays a ghost, Shah Rukh's team wins the match, thanks to Naseer's magic.
The film's heroine was Urmila Matondkar.
Pardes
Subhash Ghai's film told the story of Amrish Puri, who comes to India in search of a bride for his son, Apoorva Agnihotri. As fate has it, the girl (Mahima Chaudhry) falls in love with SRK instead.
But a distant cousin demans to marry Mahima, which upsets her. To solve the problem, a kabbadi match is organised between Shah Rukh, Apoorva and their team, versus the cousin and his team. Of course, SRK's team wins.
Guddu
SRK, playing Guddu, plays a popular college student, who is loved by one and all. He's very good in sports as well.
The story goes that Guddu is in love with Manisha Koirala's character. One day, Manisha falls from a horse, and loses her eye sight. Shah Rukh blames himself for this. At the same time, he is diagonsed of brain tumour. He plans to donate his eyes after his death but miraculously, he is cured. Deepti Naval, who plays his mother, donates her eyes after she dies... ... .
