In
a
Mid-day's
chat
show,
Sit
With
Hitlist,
Anurag
Kashyap
shared
some
unknown
facts
about
his
life
journey
before
becoming
a
popular
director.
Did
you
know
that
during
his
college
days,
Anurag
wanted
to
be
an
actor?
And
we're
sure
you
will
be
even
more
surprised
to
know
that
Shah
Rukh
Khan
had
once
made
an
omelette
for
Kashyap,
when
the
latter
visited
him
at
his
bungalow,
Mannat.
While
recalling
those
days,
Anurag
said,
"It
was
1992.
Imtiaz
was
in
[Delhi's]
Hindu
College.
I
had
just
discovered
theatre,
and
was
told
that
you
need
to
get
pictures
clicked,
if
you
want
work.
I
did,
after
collecting
Rs
3000,
which
was
a
big
sum
then.
And
I
started
doing
a
lot
of
acting
on
stage,
and
I
did
some
films."
He
further
added,
"Also,
what
Imtiaz
did
not
tell
you
was
one
of
the
first
films
that
I
did
as
the
lead-actor,
he
was
my
co-star.
The
only
copy
of
the
film
is
with
Zee,
where
it
had
premiered
on
January
26,
1994.
We
don't
talk
about
it.
Imtiaz
will
kill
me.
If
you
ever
pull
out
a
copy
from
the
Zee
library,
he
will
come
after
you
too!"
While
recalling
his
random
meet
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan
at
Mannat,
Anurag
revealed,
"I
was
hungry
and
I
walked
into
his
house,
using
our
college
connection
[both
went
to
Hansraj
in
Delhi].
I
remember
him
feeding
me.
He
only
knew
how
to
make
omelette."
The
Gangs
of
Wasseypur
director
also
told
a
story
about
his
initial
days
in
the
industry,
and
revealed
how
Mahesh
Bhatt
once
supported
him
economically,
so
that
he
could
pay
his
rent.
Kashyap
said,
"Oh,
one
of
my
favourite
stories
is
about
Mahesh
Bhatt.
He
happened
to
me,
right
before
Ram
Gopal
Varma.
He
got
me
to
write
films.
And
Mukesh
Bhatt
was
very
miserly
with
money.
I
was
struggling
for
rent.
Pooja
Bhatt
was
the
nicest
and
kindest;
I
would
tell
her
to
talk
to
her
dad."
"Then
I
just
walked
up
to
[Mahesh]
Bhatt
saab
once
and
said
that
I'd
rather
be
a
carpenter
than
work
in
his
office.
With
his
brother
[Mukesh]
around,
he
didn't
say
a
word.
When
I
was
leaving,
he
came
down,
said,
'Don't
ever
change.'
And
he
put
Rs
10,000
in
my
hand.
That
was
big
money
in
1994-1995."
