Long before he became the ‘King of Bollywood’, Shah Rukh Khan was a passionate young theatre actor with big dreams and a fierce love for the stage. One rare glimpse from those early days has recently resurfaced, capturing a candid moment of SRK during a train journey from Delhi to Calcutta, where he was headed to perform in the play Rough Crossing.
