Shah Rukh Khan's 10 Romantic Songs:

Not just with his irresistible charm, warm embrace, and captivating smile, the actor has redefined romance and entertained audiences with his iconic songs. These soulful melodies have become timeless love anthems for multiple generations. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit 10 of his unforgettable romantic numbers.

Main Yaha Hoon (Veer Zaara)
The songs in the 2004 movie Veer Zaara are a treat to the ears. The movie is filled with timeless numbers but Shah Rukh Khan’s on-screen chemistry with Preity Zinta in the song Main Yaha Hoon has a magical touch. Crooned by Udit Narayan, the lyrics of the song were penned by Javed Akhtar.

Tujhe Dekha Toh (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)
From Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, the song Tujhe Dekha Toh is a masterpiece in every sense. The chemistry between SRK and Kajol in this song has taught generations what true love feels like. Kumar Sanu and Lata Mangeshkar lent their voice to the beautiful melody and Anand Bakshi was the lyricist.

Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi)
Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in lead roles, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was a delightful film with several beautiful songs. Among all, Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai stands out and has a special place in the hearts of SRK fans.

Main Agar Kahoon (Om Shanti Om)
Crooned by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal, this song was one of the most unforgettable tracks of that year. It is still one of the favorites in the playlist of every SRK fan. Moreover, the chemistry between SRK and Deepika Padukone in this tune was veritably undeniable.

Mitwa (Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehnaa)
Directed by Karan Johar, the star-studded film Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna featured several hit songs, but the one that stood out was Mitwa. In this track, Shah Rukh Khan's exceptional performance and the voices of Shafqat Amanat Ali, Shankar Mahadevan, and Caralisa Monteiro will make you fall in love every time you hear it.

Koi… Mil Gaya (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai)
Soon after its debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji in pivotal roles, became a symbol of love and friendship. In the romantic song Koi Mil Gaya, Kajol, played by Anjali, realizes that she has fallen for SRK's character Rahul, her best friend. But Rahul is in love with Rani Mukherjee Tina. The track upholds the complex emotional feelings beautifully.

Kal Ho Na Ho (Kal Ho Na Ho)
The title track of the 2003 film presented SRK's Aman conveying that life is short so it is important to identify the person you love and hold them close because you never know when is the last time to get to hug them. Starring Shah Rukh, Preity Zinta, and Saif Ali Khan, the hard-hitting lyrics capture the unpredictability of life.

Mehndi Laga ke Rakhna (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)
Every person from the 90s has probably heard the song at least once and probably on repeat after that. The iconic pairing of Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan, coupled with their natural chemistry makes this number a hit.

Suraj Hua Maddham (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham)
Shah Rukh Khan romancing with his ladylove (in the film) Kajol and a picturesque backdrop shot in Egypt, what more can you ask for! The timeless classic is crooned by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik. Composed by Sandesh Shandilya, the soulful lyrics are penned by Anil Pandey.

Tere Naina (My Name Is Khan)
A romantic duet from My Name Is Khan, Tere Naina gained cult status over the years. The film marked the reunion of the iconic duo after nine long years. Javed Akhtar’s beautiful lyrics and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s soothing music completed the song.

Shah Rukh Khan's Iconic Dialogues:

"Bade bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain. Senorita!"

This dialogue from the film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, has become synonymous with SRK's romantic hero personality. King Khan delivered this dialogue with a wink while trying to impress Simran, played by Kajol. This dialogue is the audience's favorite and is still being used by many movie buffs.

"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."

How can we miss out on this beautiful dialogue from the film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, in Shah Rukh Khan's repertoire? This film introduced us to the feeling of love, friendship, and sacrifice. But among all, the way Shah Rukh Khan described love fluttered the hearts of many.

"Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaaho to puri kayanat usey tumse milane ki koshish main lag jaati hai."

The list of Shah Rukh Khan's super hit dialogues is incomplete without this one from Om Shanti Om, co-starring Deepika Padukone. The way SRK injected this strong message and made fans believe in the power of manifestations and a sense of hopeless romance has remained etched in our hearts. We bet this dialogue is memorized by every SRK fan, from all walks of life, by heart!

"Jab mai villain banta hu na to mere saamne koi bhi hero nahi tik sakta"

It wouldn't be wrong to say that the King of Romance, SRK, knows how to give earth-shattering movies. Even after years of hiatus, SRK managed to break box office records with the film, Jawan. In the blockbuster release, SRK proved why he is referred to as the 'Baadshah Of Bollywood', and his dialogue 'Jab mai villain banta hu na to mere saamne koi bhi hero nahi tik sakta' completely matches his personality.

"Kabhi Kabhi jeetne ke liye kuch harna padta hai…aur haar ke jeetne wale ko baazigar kehte hai"

The 1993 action-thriller Baazigar was a huge commercial success and propelled Shah Rukh to fame. His dialogue 'Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye kuch haarna padta hai…aur haar ke jeetne waale ko Baazigar kehte hai' still resonates with the audience and is used by many school and college goes. In the movie, he portrayed the role of a cold-blooded killer seeking revenge on a businessman who destroyed his family.
