Shah Rukh Khan recalled his first salary of ₹50 and how he visited the Taj Mahal with it. SRK said he could only afford a lassi there.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan may not have signed a film since the debacle of Zero but that doesn’t mean his star worth has dimmed even a bit. The actor shot for the latest episode of choreographer and director Remo D Souza’s dance reality show, Dance Plus 5.
