Of course, it's not important who were friends 50 years ago.
But TBH, I find it silly when SRK says he belonged to a middle class family. It's like he is fooling people.
Here is the link of the video. I couldn't find it on youtube.

In one of his interviews SRK had also mentioned(unintentionally) that that his father was close to Gandhians and was friend with MLAs & MPs.
Now I don't have any problem with all this.
But he often plays 'I am from middle class' card. In some his interviews, he said there were days when his father/mother would add water to Dal so whole family could eat, they would sit on road side as they didn't have money to see films.
Now I am not denying this completely, there might be some days when his family would be going through financial crisis and he had to go through such days. But by any means, his family wasn't middle class that they would have to go through Dal problems and would have to sit on the road side.
So, my point is why does he keep saying 'I am from a middle class family'. Clearly, he isn't from an ordinary family.
I haven't met any middle class family in my life who is very close to any film star or have connection with big MPs, MLAs or ruling parties.
So, isn't it better if he accepts that he had no financial problems and was from a rich family.
Also I think Accepting that he was from a rich family(not super rich he is today) wouldn't take away from his success. What he has achieved is still commendable. It's just that he should stop saying 'I am from a middle class family'.
