Shah Rukh Khan’s unseen pictures from his college days go viral, fans go down the memory lane

Actor Amar Talwar, who shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in their 2001 blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, took fans down the memory lane recently. He shared the superstar’s rare, unseen pictures from his college days on social media, even before he entered Bollywood and became a star. The photos have now gone viral, sending everyone in a wave of nostalgia.

Talwar also revealed that the snaps are from when they knew each other in 1990. Sharing monochrome picture of SRK on Facebook, he wrote, “Going through my old pics, came across these i’d clicked of Shahrukh Khan with my son, Manoj – Tally to the world – sometime around 1990, before Shahrukh’s 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 originally wanted Shahrukh to play but by then Shahrukh had left for Mumbai, Bollywood…and the rest is history – i guess!”
