The film went on to become one of India's top-grossing movies. It
also won him a Filmfare Best Debut Award, (1990) and a nomination
for the Filmfare Best Actor Award. The film also marked the debut

his box office successes have been numerous enough that he is still
considered one of the top actors in Bollywood. Some of his biggest
box office hits include Saajan (1991) Sanam Bewafa (1991), Karan
Arjun (1995), Pyar Kiya To Darna Kiya (1998) and Hum Dil De Chuke

(recently released), Baabul, Salaam E Ishq: A Tribute To Love, and
his first Hollywood movie, Marigold: An Adventure in India.
