Khan began his acting career with a supporting role in ''Biwi Ho To Aisi'' (1988), followed by his breakthrough with a leading role in Sooraj Barjatya's romantic drama ''Maine Pyar Kiya'' (1989), for which he was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. He established himself in the 1990s, with several commercially successful films, including Barjatya's family dramas ''Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!'' (1994) and ''Hum Saath-Saath Hain'' (1999), the action film ''Karan Arjun'' (1995) and the comedy ''Biwi No.1'' (1999). After a period of fluctuations in the 2000s, Khan achieved greater stardom in the 2010s by starring in the top-grossing action films ''Dabangg'' (2010), ''Ready'' (2011), ''Bodyguard'' (2011), ''Ek Tha Tiger'' (2012), ''Dabangg 2'' (2012), ''Kick'' (2014), and ''Tiger Zinda Hai'' (2017), and dramas such as ''Bajrangi Bhaijaan'' (2015) and ''Sultan'' (2016). This was followed by a series of poorly-received films, with the exception of the sequel ''Tiger 3'' (2023).
In addition to his acting career, Khan is a television presenter and promotes humanitarian causes through his charity, Being Human Foundation. He has been hosting the reality show ''Bigg Boss'' since 2010. Khan's off-screen life is marred by controversy and legal troubles. In 2015, he was convicted of culpable homicide for a negligent driving case in which he ran over five people with his car, killing one, but his conviction was set aside on appeal. On 5 April 2018, Khan was convicted in a blackbuck poaching case and sentenced to five years imprisonment. He is currently out on bail while an appeal is being heard. Provided by Wikipedia
