Bhopal: An 11-year-old boy from Uttar Pradesh, who ran away from home to meet Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was rescued by the Railway Police Force (RPF) at Sant Hirdaram Nagar railway station in Bhopal and handed over to his parents.
Officials of Sant Hirdaram Nagar RPF said the boy was caught traveling without a ticket. When asked as to where he was going, he said that he had to go to Mumbai.
Suspicious at the boy's answer, the RPF personnel took him aside for further questioning. During this, he told he is going to Mumbai to meet Shah Rukh Khan and complain about his father.
The boy told RPF that he had watched 'Jawan' in September 2023 and was highly impressed by Shah Rukh's stunts. After which, he became a fan of the actor and has since then watched more than 40 of his films.
He also started attempting similar stunts at home and got hurt. When his father noticed him, he asked him not to try such dangerous things but the boy did not listen to him. Neighbours too used to complain about his dangerous stunts. One day, his father beat him up and angered by this, the boy decided to leave for Mumbai to meet Shah Rukh Khan. He collected money by breaking his piggy bank and left for Mumbai.
RPF assistant inspector Rakesh Patel said, "When the child was caught at Sant Hirdaram railway station, he told he did not have money to buy a ticket and had only Rs 220 that he had taken from his piggy bank. He said his father had beaten him up for doing Shah Rukh Khan's stunts. He wanted to meet the actor so that he could teach a lesson to his father."
