In the essay, Shah Rukh Khan reflects on his joyful upbringing. "I had a very happy childhood as far as I remember.

The essay also states that the Pathaan actor's hobbies include acting, cricket, football, hockey and dancing.

Khan fondly recalls, "My actions at the age of 5 years were those of any other kid down the block - winking at girls of the Manavsthali School, throwing flying kisses at aunts 6-7 times my age, and dancing to the tune of Chakke pe Chakka."

The internet was quick to embrace this heartwarming glimpse into the superstar's past. The now-viral tweet sparked a wave of nostalgia and love from netizens. Check out some of the reactions here:
