Shah Rukh Khan has single-handedly lit up the throne of Bollywood for the past three decades. Without any filmy background or godfather, an ordinary youth from Delhi is today the 'Badsha' of Mumbai's Mayanagari just by virtue of his own talent. From the stage of the theater to the television screen, and then the royal rise to the silver screen—his journey is nothing short of a fairy tale.

But before reaching this peak of success, the megastar of today used to sell trumpets to the students of 'National School of Drama' (NSD) in Delhi! Yes, Shah Rukh used to do this to meet his income. Let's be clear about it.

Veteran actor Pankaj Kapoor brought this unknown information to the public in a recent event. He said that since the age of 10, little Shahrukh used to sell trumpets in the campus of NSD. Later in 1995, Pankaj shared the screen with Shah Rukh in the film 'Ram Jaane'.

But even then he could not reconcile that this superstar was actually the little boy from NSD. Legends like Pankaj Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah were students of NSD batch of 1976. Shah Rukh himself has reminisced in many interviews and said that his childhood was spent in the lap of these leading actors of the country.

In fact, Shahrukh's family had a canteen in the NSD campus, and that's why he had free movement there. Shahrukh's family also had to struggle as a businessman before stepping into the acting world. His father Mir Taj Mohammad Khan had a restaurant named 'Khatir' in Safdarjung area of ​​Delhi.

After his father's untimely death, Shahrukh's mother took over the entire responsibility of the restaurant. Basically, their family was running from the income of this restaurant. Apart from this, they also managed the canteen of NSD.

Shahrukh said that when he was a child, he had a couple of hours after school. At that time he was sitting in NSD campus waiting for his sister. And it was at this leisure that he used to arrange trumpets on the plate and reach the table of the theater students.

At a very young age, being in the atmosphere of acting and watching rehearsals, King Khan's love for acting was born unnoticed.
