Audiences are curious to witness Shah Rukh Khan’s magic in his upcoming project ‘Jawan’ after his superhit film ‘Pathan’. Advance bookings for the high octane thriller have already begun in the United States and there are high expectations from this movie too.
What has caught the attention of netizens now however is an old essay of SRK which has been circulating on social media for a couple of days. It was an essay apparently written while he was still in college. He was not a superstar then!
The essay describes SRK’s childhood, his school life, college life and his entry into the world of acting.
A Twitter user shared it with his followers on his twitter handle. He captioned the post, “An essay that Shah Rukh had written in his younger days.” The handwritten essay which has captivated audiences has gone viral.
In the letter SRK said, “I had a very happy childhood as far as I remember.”
“My actions at the age of 5 years were those of any other kid down the block - winking at girls of the Manavsthali School, throwing flying kisses at aunts 6-7 times my age, and dancing to the tune of Chakke pe Chakka.”
He also described how he was introduced to the world of acting, “My father had a chain of restaurants in and around Delhi. I used to visit their mess very often and watched all their plays. This was during the time of the great director, Mr Ebrahim Alkazi, Raj Babbar, Rohini Hattangadi, Ajit Vachani, Surekha Sikri etc. And during those days, (I must have been 9-10 years old) I use to write Urdu couplets and looked very cute with my dimples and thus got a lot of attention from these actors and the director. I guess that just made me subconsciously want to be like them.”
He used to imitate stars like Hema Malini and Dev Anand in his school days. The actor admitted that he was good at mimicking and copying actors. Concerning his school life, he wrote that he was never a brilliant student but always made it to the first five ranks in the class.
Fans were fascinated seeing King Khan’s handwriting. One user appreciated the “killer essay”. Another commented on the spelling free content. A third user appreciated the way he marked all the page numbers.
Another follower commented that the essay was only a precursor of the success that followed King of Bollywood.
