Yeah I remember something where Gauri said she wanted SRK to handle the oil business but that was not feasible as there were too many things wrong with it. I think SRK was also left with debts after his parents passed away. Not sure though.

Oil Business matlab owner of Petrol Pump or Oil Refinery? 😕

It's not that big a deal. But then again, it depends on your perspective and where you're coming from. Everyone sees things differently.

In SRK's mind, his finances in his youth are obviously going to seem lower to middle class to him considering how wealthy he is now. A homeless person would consider a Nano owner to be rich. It all depends on how you look at things.

Used Audi for 10K? What a great deal! 😲

Fact is people who grew up in India in the 70s and 80s didnt have so many luxuries and consumer goods that even middle class families have today. Those were simpler times, people didnt have computers, electronic gadgets, they were not even invented then, heck even telephones and fridges were considered luxuries. So in hindsight it seems as if we led a very humble life, free of trappings of luxury. No wonder SrK says he had a humble childhood.

Again, the Maruti car SRK had in 80s was not when he was a kid, it was after he grew up, he was already doing TV serials in 1988, right?

The fact that SRK is a self made man who made it in this industry without any connections is still a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of people even though it's been a good 25 years.
