While SRK was four, he used to throw stones at his neighbor's house. Once he broke a child's teeth staying there. Later that night, the child's father, drunk, knocked at SRK's house. Khan's father opened the door and the man threatened to kill SRK. Father crosschecked with Shah Rukh as to whether or not he had committed the act of mischief. When he confessed, his dad asked him to go out and explain himself to the man who was not only drunk but also armed. Shah Rukh went outside and apologised for his deed.
SRK was an all-rounder in school. Along with studies, he took part in numerous co-curricular activities. For this he also won the Raman Subramanyam Award in Class 10th in 1983 and the Sword of Honour in 12th standard 1985 for the best all round performance, loyalty, obedience, integrity, and sportsmanship.
The college where he studied was Delhi University's Hans Raj College, and Shah Rukh did his Economics Honours from the institution between1985-88. When Hans Raj celebrated its Golden Jubilee, the college gave away 17 shields to its alumni who had excelled in their life and professions and Shah Rukh was one of them.
After his graduation from Hans Raj, SRK went on to join Jamia Millia Islamia's Mass Communications Research Centre to do his masters in filmmaking and journalism. It was his first step into the entertainment world.
