Shah Rukh Khan reveals how his acting journey started

Talking about how his interest in acting started, SRK wrote, "My father had a chain of restaurants in and around Delhi. I used to visit their mess very often and watched all their plays. This was during the time of the great director, Mr Ebrahim Alkazi, Raj Babbar, Rohini Hattangadi, Ajit Vachani, Surekha Sikri etc. And during those days, (I must have been 9-10 years old) I use to write Urdu couplets and looked very cute with my dimples and thus got a lot of attention from these actors and the director. I guess that just made me subconsciously want to be like them."
