SRK's school teacher passes away with a final wish to meet the star

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s school teacher Brother Eric Steve D'Souza died in Goa on Sunday.

Some say that his dying wish was to meet the Dear Zindagi actor, and had even reached out to him via social media. But this meeting couldn’t happen and D’Souza passed away.

During an interview at the chat show, ‘Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai’ hosted by late actor Farooq Sheikh in 2002. King khan spoke about his teacher calling him his “guiding light”. He shared, "If there is one man in this whole wide world. I don't have idols or anyone that I look up to, but he is the only man in the world that I really look up to. He taught us how to play football, to play hockey. I had a lot of energy, and he channelised it so we didn’t become taporis, or gundas or badmaash because it’s very easy to get misled during youth. And he made sure that he gave us enough work and, with great fun, he used to play the guitar for us, sing songs for us. He really is the guiding light of my life. I love him."

Congress leader Szarita Laitphlang posted a video on social media requesting Shah Rukh Khan to meet D’Souza. Her post on X in June read, "This feels like my final plea, my last attempt to reach out to @iamsrk to humbly request his presence by the side of Brother Eric S D’Souza. Each day, Brother‘s health weakens, his condition worsening with every passing moment. Mumbai, just an hour away by flight, holds the possibility of bringing solace to his ailing heart. DASU has left an indelible mark on all of our lives, shaping us into who we are today through his unwavering commitment to instilling values. Your visit would mean the world to him, a beacon of hope in his darkest hours.”
