SRK”s throwback video reveals he anchored Doordarshan shows

TIL Desk Bollywood/ An old video of Shah Rukh Khan that has surfaced in social media has revealed a hitherto unknown fact about the Bollywood superstar. It seems like he has had a stint as television show anchor on Doordarshan, way back in the early nineties.

The throwback video doing the rounds shows Shah Rukh anchoring at New Year”s Eve show on Doordarshan, along with a female anchor. In the clip, the actor and his co-anchor are seen inviting a much-younger singer Kumar Sanu — who was yet to strike Bollywood stardom wirh his songs of “Aashiqui” — to the stage to croon a track.

In the video, a lanky SRK, dressed in baggy fashion of the era, looks in his early to mid twenties. As Sanu is introduced by his co-anchor, SRK jocularly asks if he is the singer who has been making waves copying Kishore Kumar lately.
