Celebrating 50 years of King Khan

Here's our small dedication to the King of Bollywood.

He is the one and only reigning King of Bollywood. As Shah Rukh Khan turned 50 today, all of tinsel town turned to Twitter to wish him on his birthday.

The beautiful Mahira Khan sent love to her 'gangsta' Raees co-star:

Thank God for you @iamsrk !!
Happy birthday Gangstakhan. Love always.

But she wasn't the only Khan to wish SRK. Salman Khan, who shares an on-again, off-again friendship with Shah Rukh, also wished his 'buddy brother' in an exclusive interview with Indian Express:

"We are friends. I wish him all the very best; the best of health for him and his entire family. May they have the most amazing life," said the superstar.

"I hope his children take his name forward and beyond what Shah Rukh Khan has achieved," he added.

"Daddy cool" put up a picture of the two from one of their films:

We may not know SRK on a personal level like his Bollywood buddies, but we do know him through his films. We present to you 23 most memorable quotes from the man who reigns all our hearts:

Baazigar (1993)

Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye kuch haarna bhi padta hai ... aur haar kar jeetne waale ko baazigar kehte hai:



Darr (1993)

I love you KKKKK... Kiran:



Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

1) Baray baray deshon mein aaisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai:



2) Raj, Agar yeh tujhe pyar karti hai toh yeh palat ke dekhegi... palat... palat:



Dil To Pagal Hai (1997)

Anjali, hum ek baar jeete hai, ek baar marte hai, shaadi bhi ek baar hoti hai... aur pyar ek baar hi hota hai:



Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001)

Zindagi mein agar kuch banna ho, kuch haasil karna ho, kuch jeetna ho toh hamesha dil ki suno. Aur agar dil bhi koi jawab na de toh aankhen band karke apni maa aur papa ka naam lo. Phir dekhna har manzil paar kar jaoge, har mushkil aasaan ho jayegi. Jeet tumhari hogi, sirf tumhari:



Devdas (2002)

1) Kaun kambakht bardaasht karney ko peeta hai ... hum toh peetay hai key yahan par baith sakein, tumhein dekh sakein, tumhein bardaasht kar sakein:




2) Babuji ne kaha gaon chhor do... sab ne kaha Paro ko chhor do... Paro ne kaha sharab chhor do... aaj tumne keh diya haweli chhor do... ek din aayega jab Woh kahenge, duniya hi chhor do:



Kal Ho Na Ho (2003)

Aaj... aaj ek hasi aur baant lo... aaj ek dua aur maang lo... aaj ek ansoon aur pee lo... aaj ek zindagi aur jee lo... aaj ek sapna aur dekh lo... aaj... kya pata, kal ho naa ho:



Om Shanti Om (2007)

1) Itni shiddat se maine tumhey paane ki koshish ki hai ... kay har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai:



2) Kehtey hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho ... to puri kainaat usse tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai:



3) Aur agar theek na ho, toh woh the end nahi, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost:



Don (2011)

Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai:



Happy New Year (2014)

Hum nay ek din mein apna sab kuch kho diya aur us din jana kay kismat badi kutti cheez hai... saali kabhi bhi palat jaati hai:



Happy Birthday, King Khan!
