Shah Rukh Khan, often hailed as the "King of Bollywood," is renowned not only for his acting prowess but also for his close-knit friendships in the industry. While the relationship between SRK and friends like Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Kajol is well-documented, there's one friendship that remains relatively under the radar - his bond with actress Divya Seth.

Notably, as per an Indian media portal, Shah Rukh Khan and Divya Seth were batchmates in Barry John's theatre group, where their journey in the world of acting began. Their paths diverged as SRK made a meteoric rise in Bollywood, while Divya Seth carved her niche in Indian television.

Shah Rukh Khan, known for his love for sharing moments with fans, couldn't resist capturing an unexpected reunion with Divya at a Mumbai restaurant in a selfie. In a heartfelt tribute to his dear friend, SRK referred to Divya Seth as his 'bestest friend' and revealed an intriguing detail about their relationship - she was the one who taught him acting.
