Rajkummar Rao, Amitabh Bachchan praise SRK

When host Mr. Amitabh Bachchan asked Rajkummar about his thoughts on Shah Rukh Khan, given that both hail from Delhi and share a common background, Rajkummar warmly recalled his early aspirations, saying, "Sir, since he himself is from Delhi, and I too decided at a very young age that I wanted to act. And one more thing, Sir, there was always a poster of yours in my mother's room because you have always been number one, and we have all been inspired by you. So, as I was saying, I was greatly inspired by Shah Rukh Sir's journey, how a boy from Delhi, from a middle-class family, went on to do theatre, then did so many shows on television, and eventually became a very big superstar. So, when I first came to Mumbai, I had come here for a show, but I wasn't selected. However, I would always stand outside your bungalow and in front of Mannat.”
