Rajkummar Rao Recalls When He Stood Outside Shah Rukh Khan's House Mannat For Hours Just to Get A Glimpse Of Him

Shah Rukh Khan’s wit and charm makes it hard for anyone not to be his fan even when that person himself is an acclaimed Bollywood actor. Rajkummar Rao who has carved out his own niche in the industry has credited Shah Rukh Khan for his decision to become an actor.

The actor who is seeing not one but two releases on OTT this month including Ludo and Chhalaang also shared an instance from his past that truly tells how big of a SRK fan boy he really is. Talking to Bombay Times the actor said, "I love Shah Rukh sir. I am an actor because of him. While growing up in Gurgaon, I used to mimic him. I was so fond of him that when I came to Mumbai for the first time in class XI, I went to Bandra and stood outside Mannat (SRK’s home) for hours, hoping to get a glimpse of him." 

Well his XI standard wish came true in the best way possible as the actor later got a chance to meet Shah Rukh, "When I became an actor, I got a golden opportunity of meeting him at his house. Of course, I have met him several times after that. He is one of the most charming people I have ever met. He makes you feel so special and whoever has met him can vouch for that. Beyond the fact that I love him as an actor, he is a great human being. There is so much to learn from him. He not only inspires me as an actor, but also inspires me to be a better person,” Rajkummar added.
