Shah Rukh Khan Completes 34 Years in Bollywood, Shares Childhood Memories

Mumbai. Bollywood's king Shah Rukh Khan has completed 34 years in the film industry. His first film 'Deewana' was released 34 years ago on this very day, June 26.

On this special occasion, Shah Rukh Khan participated in an event in Mangaluru, where he won the hearts of fans by performing his famous pose and dancing to hit songs, as well as sharing childhood memories. During this, he won the hearts of fans by conversing in Kannada.

Shah Rukh Khan came to this event with a childhood picture. He took out the picture from his pocket, showed it to the audience, and said it was the only childhood picture he had. Showing the picture, Shah Rukh said, 'Now this picture might seem a bit strange because I am without clothes in it. I am in a bucket without clothes and this is the only childhood picture of mine taken in Mangaluru.'

Although Shah Rukh was born in New Delhi, he spent the first 5 years of his childhood in Mangaluru with his grandfather Iftikhar Ahmed. At the event, he performed to songs from 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' as well as 'Jhoome Jo Pathaan' and 'Chhammak Chhallo'.

Before entering films, Shah Rukh had worked in many television programs. He got his first film 'Deewana' by chance. Armaan Kohli was initially confirmed for the role of Raja Sahai in this film, but for some reason, he refused to work.

After that, Shekhar Kapur sent producer Guddu Dhanoa to meet Shah Rukh in Delhi. According to Guddu Dhanoa, at that time Shah Rukh had no film released, yet Shah Rukh said that he could not do this film as he was already busy with 5 films.

After Shah Rukh informed that he was working in Hema Malini's 'Dil Aashna Hai', 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman', 'Chamatkar', 'King Uncle', and 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na', Dhanoa insisted on hearing the story.

The next day, after hearing the story, Shah Rukh really liked the second half of the film and promised to do this film if the dates of other films could be adjusted. Fortunately, the film for which there was no time was the first to be released and became a superhit. Even though the actor's entry in this film was only in the second half, the audience greatly appreciated his performance.

According to producer Dhanoa, it is known that Shah Rukh was given a signing amount of 11 thousand rupees and an acting fee of 1 lakh 50 thousand rupees for this film. Actor Rishi Kapoor liked the song 'Aisi Deewangi' from the film so much that he himself wanted to act in it, but later this song was picturized on Shah Rukh. With this film, Shah Rukh made his strong identity in the industry and today he is one of the richest and most successful actors in the world.
