When Shah Rukh Khan recalled his first Taj Mahal visit with Rs 50 salary: ‘There was no money to eat food’

Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t need any introduction. He is the king of our hearts, he’s the Badshah of Bollywood. He mesmerises his fans and wins millions of hearts with his top-notch acting skills and down-to-earth behaviour .

In an old video circulating on social media, we have found an interesting fact about his first Taj Mahal visit. The video is from Remo D'Souza's reality show Dance Plus, where King Khan graced the show as a guest.

In the clip, the DDLJ actor remembered his first salary and revealed how he spent the money on the Taj Mahal visit and finally ended up being sick. He had said, “I have been to the Taj Mahal only once. I have a story about the Taj Mahal. The first time I got paid Rs. 50 in a musical show. I used to make people sit on the seats like it used to be in the old theatres. I got 50 rupees for that, so I wanted to see the Taj Mahal from my first salary.”

He revealed that he had no money to buy food as all the money was spent on buying the tickets. But he was hungry, so he bought a glass of ‘pink lassi’ which was available just outside the Taj Mahal. He drank an entire glass of it but unfortunately, there was a bumble bee in his lassi so he got sick immediately. So, his return journey was disastrous.

He laughed and continued, “ My journey from Agra to Delhi happened by vomiting outside the Window.” He recalled that he couldn’t even afford a photographer to take a picture of him with the Taj Mahal as he had no money. “So, I have no photo with the Taj Mahal.”, added Shah Rukh.

On the work front, the actor is returning to the screen after a long gap. He has 3 back to back movies in the pipeline. He will be seen next to Nayanthara in Atlee’s Jawan. Then he has Pathaan alongside Deepika Padukone and following that he has Dunki with Taapsee Pannu.
