1 Oct
Summary
- Shah Rukh Khan was called 'Mail Gaadi' for running fast.
- He once faked fainting to trick a teacher.
- He reunited with his alma mater, St. Columba's.
Long before becoming a Bollywood icon, Shah Rukh Khan was a competitive student at Delhi's St. Columba's School. Known for his speed on the field, he earned the nickname 'Mail Gaadi,' resembling an express train, partly due to his fast running and distinct hairstyle.
During a visit to his alma mater, Khan shared humorous anecdotes about his school life. He admitted to a mischievous streak, recalling pranks like faking fainting in class and convincing a chemistry teacher to award him good marks by likening himself to her son.
One elaborate prank involved fooling a new teacher into giving up his suede shoes to revive a 'fainting' Khan. Despite his playful antics, Khan also excelled academically and in sports, maintaining a strong connection with his school, even visiting in 2019.
Khan’s upcoming action entertainer 'King,' directed by Siddharth Anand, is slated for release on December 24, 2026. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.
