However, when Shah Rukh had last shot there, he used to while his time away by the sea, till the next shot was ready. He was reportedly seen getting nostalgic about the city and the manner in which it has changed over the years.
Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood's King Khan once tried his hand at a small restaurant business in Dariya Ganj but couldn't succeed. Surprisingly, his first salary was Rs 50 which he earned by working as an usher at Pankaj Udhas's concert in Delhi. When he signed Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naaas an actor, he completed the entire film for Rs. 25,000 only. Even on the opening day, he sold this film's tickets at the booking window of a Mumbai cinema!
Actor-producer Vivek Vaswani is known as SRK's mentor in Bollywood. During his struggling days, Shah Rukh had no place to stay in Mumbai so he lived with Vivek, who later helped him meet industry people and helped him get into Yash Chopra's camp. According to Vivek, he tried his best to push SRK out of his house but failed. However, he says whatever he may have done for him in the past, he did as a friend. "You do things for friends, simple, and hence it was nothing really too great. Anyone would have done what I did. I am proud to be his friend," stated Vivek in an interview.
