Reliable sources reveal that Shah Nawaz was like a father figure to Shah Rukh’s mother, Lateef Fatima. In the late 1940s, Shah Rukh’s mother Fatima and her family were involved in an accident in Delhi.
Sources also reveal that Fatima’s wedding with Meer Taj Mohammed Khan, a freedom fighter, took place in Shah Nawaz’s bungalow, and the three of them remained close.
Despite the fact that very few history books mention their names and the work they did in the war for independence, there are several interesting stories on them and one of them figures connect to Shah Rukh Khan, King Khan of Bollywood.
