MUMBAI: Sources claim that Rajkumar Rao looked up to Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan since his very childhood days.

“While growing up in Gurgaon, I used to mimic SRK. I was so fond of him that when I came to Mumbai for the first time in class XI, I went to Bandra and stood outside Mannat (SRK's residence) for hours, hoping to get a glimpse of him.”, he reveals.

Shah Rukh Khan, who celebrated his 55th birthday recently, has inspired some very talented actors throughout his career, that has now been spanning over decades. National award-winning actor Rajkumar Rao is one of the noted faces, who admits as well that his desire to become an actor stemmed from watching King Khan on-screen.

Rajkummar, who will be seen next in some interesting films like Ludo and Chhalaang, expressed about his love and admiration for the superstar in a recent interview.

The actor said, “I love Shah Rukh sir. I am an actor because of him. While growing up in Gurgaon, I used to mimic him. I was so fond of him that when I came to Mumbai for the first time in class XI, I went to Bandra and stood outside Mannat (SRK’s home) for hours, hoping to get a glimpse of him.”.

Years later, the actor’s prayers were answered when he finally met Shah Rukh Khan.

Recalling the same, he said, “When I became an actor, I got a golden opportunity of meeting him at his house. Of course, I have met him several times after that. He is one of the most charming people I have ever met. He makes you feel so special and whoever has met him can vouch for that. Beyond the fact that I love him as an actor, he is a great human being. There is so much to learn from him. He not only inspires me as an actor but also inspires me to be a better person.”.
