Rare 1980s Pics of Shah Rukh Khan Go Viral: Newly surfaced rare photos of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan from the 1980s are taking the internet by storm. Captured during a train journey from Delhi to Kolkata, these nostalgic black-and-white images show a young SRK enjoying time with friends, long before he became the King of Bollywood.
The candid photos were recently shared by actor Amar Talwar, SRK’s co-star from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, who accompanied Shah Rukh and a group of friends—including the late Rituraj Singh, Divya, Dipika, Sanjoy, Deepak, Benny, and Mohit—on this memorable trip. Talwar himself took the photographs and humorously noted the absence of a friend named Barry in his caption:
“More from that train ride 35 years ago… Delhi to Kolkata… Divya and Dipika and Shahrukh and Sanjoy and Deepak and Rituraj and Benny and Mohit, and I behind the camera… and where the hell was Barry?”
SRK Before Stardom: A Window into the Past
In the photos, a very young Shah Rukh Khan is seen holding an old-school film camera, posing lightheartedly, and capturing moments with his friends. The warmth and simplicity of the images—set in a time when SRK was still far from global fame—have struck a chord with fans.
The images beautifully showcase the camaraderie and bond shared among these budding artists, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia from the 90s Bollywood era. Fans are admiring how grounded and relatable Shah Rukh appears in these snapshots of youth.
Fans React with Love and Nostalgia
Fans flooded social media platforms with praise and heartfelt reactions. One user wrote, “It’s so refreshing to see actors before the fame—pure and unfiltered.” Another commented, “SRK and trains: a match made in heaven!”
These moments not only offer a nostalgic treat but also remind fans of SRK’s inspiring journey from humble beginnings to international superstardom. His dedication and passion are a testament to the hard work that defines his career.
As fans await Shah Rukh Khan’s next big-screen appearance in “King”, directed by Siddharth Anand, these old pictures are a heartwarming reminder of the man behind the legend.
