Did you know? Jawan and Dunki gave Shah Rukh Khan sleepless nights

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan is set to release exactly a month from now. With each passing day, our eagerness to witness the magic of King Khan on the big screen grows stronger. The Jawan Prevue has already captivated our hearts. The first song Zinda Banda has found a permanent place on our playlist. However, it has also left us yearning for more information about the film. The Jawan Prevue revealed that Shah Rukh Khan has a girl squad, consisting of six girls, and among them is Aaliyah Qureishi. The musician and actress recently disclosed the reason behind Shah Rukh Khan’s sleepless nights.

Here’s why Shah Rukh Khan was sleep deprived because of Jawan & Dunki

In a recent interview with the Free Press Journal, Aaliyah Qureishi, popularly known as Jhalli, shared insights into SRK’s working schedule. She revealed how dedicated he is, saying, “Another thing that inspires me is his work ethic. At one point he was working double shifts- days doing Dunki and nights doing Jawan – for many, many days in a row and was functioning on around 4 hours of sleep a day. I remember he once told me that if you believe in something 100% it will definitely come true, but there has to be no trace of doubt in your mind.”

The actress also described Shah Rukh’s personality as the humblest, kindest, and funniest person in the room. She fondly recalls an incident, saying, “Once I mentioned in passing that I was hungry, and before I knew he had organized makhana, salted cashews, peanuts, and chips on a makeshift table. He was so caring and always hugged me hello and goodbye (he smells amazing by the way). It’s exactly what I hoped it would be. And then to see him at his craft and watch his process and learn from him was another gift in itself.”

SRK’s unwavering dedication, work ethic, and genuine kindness make him an inspiring personality both on and off the screen.

Apart from Jhalli, SRK’s squad also includes Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, and Girija Oak. On the other hand, Jawan also stars Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in pivotal roles. Directed by Atlee, the movie is slated to release on 7 September 2023.
