Shah Rukh Khan was born to a Muslim family but was raised by Hindus for most of his life. His father Taj Mohammed Khan was a freedom activist of Hindkowan background, and Lateef Fatima, who was the daughter of Major General Shah Nawaz Khan of the Janjua Rajput clan , who served as a General in the Indian National Army of Subhash Chandra Bose.
Khan's father came to Delhi from the Kissa Kahani Bazaar in Peshawar now in Pakistan, before the Partition of India, while his mother's family came from Rawalpindi, also in Pakistan. Khan has a sister named Lalarukh. Khan attended St. Columba's School where he was accomplished in sports, drama and academics. He won the Sword of Honour, an annual award bequeathed to the student who embodies most the spirit of the school.He later attended the Hansraj College (1985-1988) to earn an Honors degree in Economics. After this, he studied for a Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia University.
After the death of his parents, Khan moved from New Delhi to Mumbai in 1991 for a fresh start. In 1991, he married Gauri Khan in a Hindu wedding ceremony, and they have two children, son Aryan (b. 1997) and daughter Suhana (b. 2000).
Nasreen Munni Kabir, the noted British filmmaker, produced a two-part documentary on Shah Rukh, The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan (2005). Featuring his 2004 Temptations concert tour, the film contrasted Khan's inner world of family and daily life with the outer world of his work. Recently another book Still Reading Khan (2006) was released on SRK which talks about his family and his life.
Khan's life-size wax statue is available in Madame Tussauds wax museum, London, installed in April 2007. Khan has been chosen for the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Order of the Arts and Literature) award of the French government for his “exceptional career”.
