Gupta first came into the public eye when, inspired by the film My Name is Khan, he staged a campaign to meet Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. Supported by Indian radio station Red FM, Gupta tracked Khan across Mumbai in an effort to meet him. He finally took to camping outside Shah Rukh Khan's home in Mannat for three days until Khan relented and agreed to meet Gupta. The meeting resulted in a very candid interview that was aired on Red FM.
