Shahrukh Khan's magic: stories from school days
Shahrukh Khan's birthday special: Whenever the name of King is taken in Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan's name comes first. His acting, romantic style and charming personality have won millions of hearts. His fans know a lot about him, but there are some things that hardly anyone knows. One of these is that even before entering films, Shahrukh had achieved so much fame in his school that his juniors used to joke that teachers have crushes on boys, but in his school, the teachers' crush was on Shahrukh Khan.
Writer and photographer Ajay Jain, who was Shahrukh's junior in school, shared an interesting anecdote. Ajay, who was three years younger than Shahrukh at Delhi's famous St. Columba's School, spoke about how Shahrukh's popularity was widespread in the school.
Shahrukh's popularity in school
Shahrukh was different from other students since his school days. He was good in studies, although he was not a class topper, but his marks were always good. He also had an interest in sports, and played hockey, football and cricket on school teams. He also had good command over debate and dramatics. Everyone knew him because of his confidence and personality.
An interesting anecdote is that the school where he studied was an only boys' school. Usually in such schools, boys like their female teachers, but in Shahrukh's case it was the opposite. Students used to say that the school teachers had a crush on Shahrukh, which shows his popularity.
Lead role and honor in drama
Lead role in school drama: Shahrukh was always fond of acting. He played the lead role in the school play 'The Wiz', which was based on 'The Wizard of Oz'. The play ran for a week at the Kamani Auditorium in Delhi and received an excellent response from the audience.
Sword of Honor: Shahrukh was excellent not only in acting and sports but also in studies and other activities. He was awarded the 'Sword of Honour', which is given to the best all-rounder student of class 12th. No one in his batch had any doubt that he would get this honour.
college admission story
Interesting story: A story related to Shahrukh's college admission is also famous. After 12th, he went for interview for admission to St. Stephen's College, Delhi. There he mentions the Sword of Honor while recounting his achievements.
A member of the interview panel said that the award did not mean much to his college. On this Shahrukh replied that then your college also has no special importance and he left from there. However, this story has not been confirmed. Later he took admission in Hansraj College.
Respect for teachers even after becoming a superstar
Respect for teachers: The best thing about Shahrukh is that he never became proud despite his popularity. He always respected his teachers. School teacher Brother D'Souza said that Shahrukh mentioned his teacher in a TV program and told how important a role he played in shaping his personality. It is special that even after becoming a big superstar, Shahrukh did not forget his old teachers.
