In a recent interview, Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan has opened up about a major regret from his past - dropping out of Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi. Back in the day, SRK had just begun shooting for his debut TV show Fauji when managing attendance at the university became nearly impossible.
A few days before his written exams, an exchange with the principal led the young SRK to impulsively walk away from his studies. Looking back, the actor now calls this decision the "foolishness of childhood," admitting he was "ill-mannered and disgusting" at the time.
Years later, SRK still wishes he had completed his degree, believing it would have made him an even bigger superstar. "I wish I had the degree. I really miss it. I would tell everyone that please do not leave your studies ever, because if I had studied, believe me, I would be such a big superstar," he said wistfully.
