Szarita Laitphlang, a leader and member of the Indian National Congress, recently took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to urge Shah Rukh Khan to visit his former teacher Eric D’Souza, who is her brother, while informing the actor about his deteriorating health.
Asking Shah Rukh Khan to visit his mentor in Goa in a video, Laitphlang said that Eric D’Souza’s condition was ‘really deteriorating.’ She also called her brother Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘mentor’ in another tweet.
In the video, Laitphlang is heard saying, “Kindly spare a few minutes to come and visit him. Mumbai is not very far from Goa. It is just an hour’s flight… his health is really deteriorating and he can’t speak anymore.” In the tweet alongside the video, Laitphlang wrote, “This feels like my final plea, my last attempt to reach out to Shah Rukh Khan to humbly request his presence by the side of brother Eric S D’Souza.”

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.”
For those who were doubting her claims about Eric D’Souza being Shah Rukh Khan’s mentor, or even an acquaintance, she posted a separate video in which the superstar can be seen meeting the former and sharing a long hug from an episode of the show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai.
