A documentary titled The Inner World Of Shah Rukh Khan, gave the viewers a tour of the school Khan graduated from. The actor also met a few old acquaintances
SRK was raised in New Delhi before he shifted to Mumbai and became one of the most popular Bollywood stars. The actor graduated from St. Columba’s School, where he excelled in both studies and sports.
One of the men reminded Shah Rukh about an incident involving the students of Modern School during his short chat with the actor. He asked, “Yaad hai Modern school walo ke daant tod diye the (remember breaking the teeth of Modern School kids?)”. Shah Rukh couldn’t help but laugh the incident off.
Shah Rukh had revealed his nickname in school was mail gaadi in an interview with Filmfare, in 2018. “Mail gadda, because I used to run very fast, like an express train. Also because my hair used to stand out in front,” he explained.
“I’ve troubled many of my teachers. I once convinced my chemistry teacher to give me good marks by telling her I was like her son. I also used to feign an attack of epilepsy very often. I’d ‘faint’ in the classroom and the teachers had to take off their shoes for me to smell. Once, when we had a new teacher, I ‘fainted’ and the other kids convinced him that if he didn’t give me the suede shoes he was wearing, I’d die. He had to roam barefoot the rest of the day.” the actor added.
Shah Rukh had visited his alma mater in 2019. According to ANI, he was there for a special video interview but met 18 students from the theatre society. Pictures of him posing with students had taken the internet by storm. Students were super elated to meet him. One of them got so overwhelmed that he started to cry.
