Renowned actor Rituraj Singh’s untimely demise has left the entertainment industry in mourning, prompting reflections on his impactful career. A poignant throwback photograph has emerged, capturing a cherished moment from the past featuring Singh alongside Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Amin, and Divya Seth Shah.
The black-and-white snapshot dates back to their theater days, under the guidance of Barry John, when Singh and Khan were immersed in the art of acting.
