His breakthrough came in 1988 with the romantic drama Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, which established him as a leading actor. His performance in Raakh (1989) earned him critical acclaim, leading to his recognition in the Special Mention category at the National Film Awards.

The 1990s saw Khan solidify his status as a box office draw with a series of successful films.

Following a brief hiatus, Khan made a remarkable comeback with films like Rang De Basanti and Fanaa in 2006.
