Fans are delighted, and so are we! There’s always been a lot of curiosity around Shah Rukh Khan’s pre-stardom days among his fans. Recently, actor Amar Talwar, who was SRK’s former co-star and fellow theatre artist, shared some pictures of the actor from his college days, and the internet is in love! Taking a trip down memory lane, Talwar not only shared the rare gems of pictures, but also shared a loving story along with it.
Talwar, who is best known for his roles in Shanti and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, shared the monochrome photographs of Shah Rukh Khan from the early 1990s, on Facebook.
He wrote, “Going through my old pics, came across these I’d clicked of Shahrukh Khan (3rd pic with my son, Manoj – @djTally to the world), around 1990, before his departure for Bollywood.”
“Shahrukh and i had acted in a couple of TAG (Barry John’s Theatre Action Group) plays together – “Rough Crossing” and “Who’s Life Is It Anyway” and then in a third play, “Lend Me A Tenor” Barry cast me in the role he wanted Shahrukh to play but by then Shahrukh had left for Mumbai, Bollywood…and the rest is history – i guess!” he continued.
