The actor's birthday is special, not only for him and his family, but his fans as well!

Today on his birthday, here are five reasons why Shah Rukh Khan, is known as the King of Romance in Bollywood:

1. Palat ... palat!

We are sure if you are a 90's kid, you've tried this on your crush n number of times! Whether or not she turned like Kajol did in the movie is a different story. Well, Shah Rukh's DDLJ continues to be Bollywood's romance epic and nothing can ever change that. The movie is the longest-running film in Bollywood and has some of the most iconic dialogues spoken by King Khan in a style that is to last for generations. 

'Bade Bade shehron mei aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain!'

2. King Khan has mostly been a part of romantic films

It is ironical that SRK, at the start of his career played negative roles in films like Darr, Anjaam and Baazigar. However, the actor soon became best known for the way he portrayed romantic characters. The actor's career has been dominated by romantic movies such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil To Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein, Devdas, Veer-Zaara and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to name a few.

3. He brings fairytales alive

Other countries have Cinderella and Prince Charles, we have Raj and Simran. SRK, undoubtedly brings a fairytale element in every romance movie. The characters played by him draw attention of a million girls and give us relationship goals!

4. Romanced almost all leading heroines

SRK has been paired opposite Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla and others. And he has also been paired opposite Deepika Padukone , Anushka Sharma and other new generation heroines. Could we need any other reason to justify his King of Romance title?

5. Is the King of Romance in real life as well

SRK lives happily with his first love- Gauri Khan and the couple have three lovely children together- Aryan, Suhana and AbRam. As someone who is still in a happy and committed relationship with his first love, King Khan has proved that not only on the reel but also in real life he is the ultimate king of romance.
