Let’s take a look back at the most iconic dialogues of the actor.

One-liners of Shah Rukh Khan:

1. Haar ke jeetne waale ko…:

This dialogue is from Shah Rukh Khan’s 1993 action-thriller Baazigar, which was a huge commercial success and catapulted him to stardom. The dialogue “Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye kuch haarna padta hai. Aur haar ke jeetne waale ko Baazigar kehte hai.” still resonates with the audience.

2. Bade Bade deshon mein…:

Fans loved when he said, “Bade Bade deshon mein aaisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain… Senorita!!” Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), directed by Aditya Chopra, cemented Shah Rukh’s place in the Bollywood industry as the commercial romantic hero.

3. Pyaar dosti hai…:

From his iconic film, Shah Rukh Khan’s definition of love has become famous: “Pyaar dosti hai. Agar woh meri sabse achi dost nahi ban sakti toh main usse kabhi pyaar kar hi nahi sakta. Kyunki dosti bina toh pyaar hota hi nahi.”

4. Agar zindagi mein kuch banna ho…:

Shah Rukh’s parting words to his younger brother played by Hrithik Roshan was something everyone needed to hear. We didn’t know we needed, – “Zindagi mein kuch banna ho, kuch haasil karna ho, kuch jeetna ho toh hamesha apne dil ki suno. Aur agar dil se bhi koi jawaab na aye, to apni aankhen band karke apni maa aur baba ka naam lo. Phir dekhna, har manzil paar kar jaoge, har mushkil asan ho jaegi. Jeet tumhari hogi. Sirf tumhari.” 

5. Babuji ne kaha…:

“Babuji ne kaha gaon chhod do, sab ne kaha Paro ko chhod do, Paro ne kaha sharab chhod do, aaj tumne keh diya haweli chhod do, ek din aayega jab woh kahenge, duniya hi chhod do.” – The superb punchline will always be remembered for the anti-climactic scene in which Devdas sets fire to his father’s office and leaves his ancestral home.
