Actor Rituraj Singh died on Tuesday [February 20] following a cardiac arrest. He was 59. After his death, several throwback images of the actor with superstar Shah Rukh Khan have gone viral on social media. Rituraj Singh and SRK were part of Barry John's TAG (Theatre Action Group) in the 1990s. Now, offering context to one of the viral images is Sanjay Roy of Teamwork Arts, who was also part of the group at the same time and has worked with both actors. In the black-and-white image, while Rituraj Singh, Divya Seth and Sanjay Roy are seated around a tree on the platform, SRK is seen standing, looking at something he is holding. A stationary train forms the backdrop of the picture. Sharing the viral image, Sanjay Roy wrote, “This photo keeps doing the rounds.
