During the candid chat, Sunil recalled the time he went on tours with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. He shares, “I went for a tour to Singapore where Morani brothers paid me 20000. There was a show held in a stadium there and I remember after the event Shah Rukh introduced every artist including me to the audience. Ganesh Hegde was also present there who told me to come to green room and perform in front of SRK. He entered the room with a drink and cigarette in his hand and I started mimicking his popular dialogues in front of him.”

He further recalled how even Aaryan attended this tour with SRK and he was a small boy when I met him. When asked if he is in touch with them, Sunil said, “I am not much in contact as everyone are busy in their own lives. But I think whenever we meet, whether they recognise me or no, their behaviour will be the same. With Shah Rukh I also remember one of his staff member used to stay in my neighbouring slum. He used to visit him once in 4-6 months during special occasion. But he used to come quietly late night, sit for 10-15 minutes with them and leave.”

“After this I remember going for Lagaan tour where Aamir Khan was present. At that time Dil Chahta Hai and Lagaan were massive hit. I was told Aamir will take audition before the tour as nothing goes ahead without his permission. Ashutosh gowariker introduced me to Aamir and I mimicked my act. And what I observed about Aamir was he focused on increasing my confidence without thinking of accepting or rejecting. He fortunately laughed in first punch and agreed to take me for tour. In that tour I remember dancing with Preity Zinta on song Piya Piya”, Pal added.

Talking about how grounded these celebs are despite massive stardom, Sunil said “These superstars respect artists and their craft. That’s the reason they don’t have an ego. In fact, they are so simple and humble to an extent that Aamir won’t even mind sitting on the floor and casually chatting during discussions”.
