10-Year-Old Shah Rukh Khan Helped At His Father’s Canteen Near NSD, Used To Supply Samosas To Pankaj Kapur

Summary

Pankaj Kapur has shared a memory from his theatre days, recalling that a young Shah Rukh Khan, around 10 years old at the time, supplied samosas to hungry actors backstage during theatre breaks. This was possible because Shah Rukh Khan's father ran the canteen at the National School of Drama, where Pankaj Kapur was part of major productions like Razia Sultan, Tughlaq, and Andha Yug. Pankaj Kapur shared this story during a recent reunion with former classmates, offering a glimpse into a lesser-known chapter of Shah Rukh Khan's early life.
