That time Srk has no released movie on his credit, so yes he was a nobody to Bollywood when Yrf offered him their first movie.
* PREVIOUS TRACK RECORD. Yeah right, at the time when DDLJ just started, srk had a year 1994 with no hit on his credit and 1993 last release Darr was also a yrf movie.
* Aliaa is a superlative and uber natural actress atleast front of srk's OTT hamming in almost 85% of his released movies.
* HUGE difference between being shrewd and cunning, and between ambitious and manipulative...sadly srk had the later negative qualities.
There is a reason why there was so much uproar about him buying awards and bribing the Jewry with various favours.
Due to him Aamir, followed by sunny deol, Ajay devgun and Nana pataker boycotted the awards functions and never returned again.

Honey, no. Now you're embarassing yourself.
SRK became a household name with Fauji. It was HUGE. For the 1st time ever, people were going looking for a TV star with film offers.
Deewana, Chamatkar, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, and Baazigar came before Darr, out of which only Chamatkar failed.
Darr might have been offered to him before, for which I only have your claim as evidence, but SRK was a star before Darr saw the light of the day.
Also, who exactly did SRK MANIPULATE? He asked for roles. And he took whatever he could get. He didn't go around getting his godfather to throw out other actors. Yash Raj certainly didn't throw out Aamir at Vivek Vaswani or Aziz Mirza's say so.😆
Even if everything you said about were to be accurate, difference would be he did it all himself. No godfather. No industry relatives. THAT'S what you call a self-made man.
When you build a computer in your garage which later on becomes the company called Hewlett Packard, those engineers still built that company. Walt Disney gave them their first big contract. Disney Corp doesn't get credit for HP though. That's how business works.
The business of art works the same way. SRK was selling his talent and charisma. Yash Raj was buying. Yash Raj doesn't get credit for SRK because they saw in him an opportunity to make money.
KJo gets credit for Alia because he literally plays godfather to her. Don't know if you've watched those movies. Don Corleone makes a film producer an offer he can't refuse so his godson, Johnny Fontane, can become an actor.😆
