==Early life==
Born in Nagpur, India, Subhash Ghai's father was a dentist in Delhi. Ghai graduated in commerce from [[Rohtak]], [[Haryana]], and then went on to graduate in Cinema from the [[Film and Television Institute of India]], [[Pune]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://muktaarts.com/board-of-directors/|title=Mukta Arts >> Board of Directors |work=Mukta Arts|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150413020655/http://muktaarts.com/board-of-directors/|archive-date=13 April 2015|url-status=dead|access-date=6 April 2015}}</ref>

==Career==
In an interview with Rajya Sabha TV, Ghai recounted that after passing out from FTII, he came to Bombay, but was not allowed to enter any studio as he was unknown. He then read self help books like [[Dale Carnegie|Dale Carnegie's]] [[How to Win Friends and Influence People|How to Win friends and influence people]], and used techniques given in it to help him try and enter the film industry. At the same time, he learnt of and entered a United Producers Filmfare talent contest. Of the 5,000 participants, three people were selected in it, he, [[Rajesh Khanna]] and [[Dheeraj Kumar]]. While Khanna received a role soon after, Ghai received a role a year later.<ref name="rstv" />

Ghai started his career in [[Hindi cinema]] as an actor with small roles in films including ''Taqdeer'' (1967) and ''[[Aradhana (1969 film)|Aradhana]]'' (1969). He was the male lead in the 1970s ''Umang'', and ''Gumraah'' (1976).<ref name=pro/> His directorial debut was the film ''[[Kalicharan]]'' (1976) which he obtained through a recommendation by [[Shatrughan Sinha]]. {{As of|2016}}, he has written and directed a total of 16 movies.

In the 1980s and 1990s, he formed a successful collaboration with [[Dilip Kumar]] whom he directed in ''[[Vidhaata]]'' (1982), ''[[Karma (1986 film)|Karma]]'' (1986) and ''[[Saudagar (1991 film)|Saudagar]]'' (1991), the latter for which he won the [[Filmfare Best Director Award]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000245/1992|title=Filmfare Awards (1992)}}</ref> He introduced [[Jackie Shroff]] as a leading actor in ''[[Hero (1983 film)|Hero]]'' (1983) and helped establish [[Anil Kapoor]]'s rising career with ''[[Meri Jung]]'' (1985). He went on to frequently work with Shroff and Kapoor, casting them together in the films ''[[Karma (1986 film)|Karma]]'' (1986), ''[[Ram Lakhan]]'' (1989) and ''[[Trimurti]]'' (1995), the latter which he had produced and it was directed by [[Mukul S. Anand]]. His 1993 release ''[[Khalnayak]]'' starring [[Sanjay Dutt]], [[Madhuri Dixit]] and Shroff featured the hit songs "nayak nahin khalnayak hu main" and the controversial "[[Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai]]".

In 1997, he directed ''[[Pardes (1997 film)|Pardes]]'' which starred [[Shah Rukh Khan|Shahrukh Khan]] and newcomers [[Mahima Chaudhry]] and [[Apoorva Agnihotri]]. In 1999 he directed ''[[Taal (film)|Taal]]'' which starred [[Akshaye Khanna]], [[Aishwarya Rai]] and Anil Kapoor. Both ''Pardes'' and ''Taal'' were released internationally and were super-hits at the box office. His following films were ''[[Yaadein (2001 film)|Yaadein]]'' (2001) and ''[[Kisna: The Warrior Poet|Kisna]]'' (2005), which were box office flops.

He then took a break from directing and turned producer with films including ''[[Aitraaz]]'' (2004), ''[[Iqbal (film)|Iqbal]]'' (2005), ''[[36 China Town]]'' (2006) and ''[[Apna Sapna Money Money]]'' (2006).

Ghai has done brief cameos in his directorial ventures.

After a three-year hiatus from directing, he returned in 2008 with ''[[Black & White (2008 Hindi film)|Black & White]]'' released on 7 March 2008 and, later ''[[Yuvvraaj]]'' released in November 2008 with collaboration Aaditya Kulshreshtha. which didn't perform well at the box office.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=OneIndia|title=Slumdog's 'Jai Ho' was composed for Yuvvraaj|url=http://entertainment.oneindia.mobi/bollywood/features/2009/30636.html|date=25 February 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302155708/http://entertainment.oneindia.mobi/bollywood/features/2009/30636.html|archive-date=2 March 2009}}</ref> [[A.
