Abdul Rashid Salim Salman Khan (born 27 December 1965),[3] credited as Salman Khan (pronunciation:
[səlˈmaːn ˈxaːn]) is an Indian film actor, producer, singer and television personality. In a film career
spanning almost thirty years, Khan has received numerous awards, including two National Film Awards
and two Filmfare Awards.[4] He has a significant following in Asia and the Indian diaspora worldwide,
and is cited in the media as one of the most commercially successful actors of Indian cinema.[5][6]

The eldest son of screenwriter Salim Khan, Khan began his acting career with a supporting role in Biwi Ho
To Aisi (1988) and achieved breakthrough with a leading role in his next release—Sooraj Barjatya's
romance Maine Pyar Kiya (1989). Khan went on to establish himself in Bollywood in the 1990s with roles
in several top-grossing productions, including the romantic drama Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994), the
action thriller Karan Arjun (1995), the comedy Biwi No.1 (1999), and the family drama Hum Saath-Saath
Hain (1999). For his role in Karan Johar's romantic drama Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Khan was awarded
the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. After a brief period of decline in the 2000s, Khan achieved
greater stardom in the 2010s by playing the lead role in blockbuster action films with Dabangg (2010),
Ready (2011) and Bodyguard (2011).

He rose to prominence with series of action films Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012), Kick (2014),
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Sultan (2016) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), all of
which rank among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. Twelve of the films in which Khan has
acted in have accumulated net gross earnings of over ₹1 billion (US$14 million).[7][8][9][10] He is the
only actor to star in the highest-grossing Bollywood films of ten separate years.[11] Khan topped the
Forbes India charts for 2014, in terms of both fame and revenues.[12] According to the Forbes 2015 list
of Top-Paid 100 Celebrity Entertainers in world, Khan was the highest ranked Indian with 71st rank with
earnings of $33.5 million.
