Rituraj Singh's relationship with Shah Rukh Khan

Rituraj Singh has often spoken about his friendship with Shah Rukh during their theatre days. In an earlier interview with Indian Express, he had said, “We used to discuss many things about life. At that age, you are just filled up with everyday stuff and there is an everyday high. We used to rehearse together and play football, among other things. Somewhere down the line, he got the feeling that acting is something that his life is all about, and thank God it happened, or else, we wouldn’t have had a magnet of a miraculous star today.”
