Shah Rukh Khan paid a heartwarming tribute to Colonel Raj Kumar Kapoor, the creator of the 1988 popular television show Fauji which made the superstar a household name. Raj Kumar Kapoor breathed his last on Thursday, April 11, in Delhi.

Remembering his mentor, SRK said, "He loved me so much. Encouraged me. And today if I am used to being mollycoddled on sets it's because of this man who made a 'Fauji' out of a boy, like his own. Will miss you Sir...always. May u find peace in ur new mission".
