Take a look at what Jawan co-stars have to say about SRK

1. Aaliyah recalls SRK’s kind gesture

Aaliyah said, “There was never a moment on set where he made us feel like small or anything. He would always lift us with him and always if we were kind of standing in the corner and he was sitting then he would be like get them chairs. So, all six of us would sit around him.” The actress added that he always made all of them feel like a team. “He always made us feel like these are my girls,” said Aaliyah.

Recalling an incident, Aaliyah said, “Once he even told one of his bodyguards, this was in the first schedule, 2nd or 3rd day we had met him, we were trying to go into the tent for dinner with Atlee sir and Shah Rukh Khan because for the past 3 days we had done that. So, we were trying to go inside and one of the bodyguards stopped us. But then Shah Rukh sir saw and he said when the girls are around, none of you should be around me. He told the bodyguards when the girls are around, none of you should stop them from coming to me. So, imagine how good we felt. It felt really good. It was heartwarming. He’s just the best.”

Lehar on working with SRK on the set

Lehar narrated her experience working with King Khan. “Shah Rukh Khan made me very comfortable on the set and played a huge role in making us completely his girls like a chief. He’s our chief. I think he made a friendly bond with us on set like off the camera and onscreen also it comes across like that. He was not trying to be like ‘I’m older than you, I know more, I’m your senior.’ He is just trying to be your good friend. And we would be so comfortable.”

Talking about SRK’s aura, Lehar shared, “We finished watching Brahmastra and we came out of the theatre, the sweetest thing he said ‘arey issi ne toh bachaya brahmastra ko, isse bulao.’ It suddenly boosted my morale.”

Ridhi recalls a memory with Shah Rukh

As she will be seen in Jawan alongside the megastar SRK, we asked her about the fondest memory she had of working with him. To this, she replied saying, “I think my first day with him. It was a scene where Shah Rukh and I were sitting and there was the whole unit including Atlee, the genius man, who I adore. I think everyone adores him. But it was Shah Rukh and me and for those six-seven hours, we were shooting. I thought that everything else was just clouded. I didn’t pay attention to anything. He didn’t move from his seat; I didn’t move from my seat. He did not move, he did not get up, did not take his phone. SRK just kept sitting, so I was like he’s not moving and neither am I.”

Adding to this fun response, she said, “I think that was the most special thing for me because I also tried to break into some conversation. You know how it is when you are sitting with someone you really admire. And then that person is being very respectful but you are like this person is here for me just for this one time. I want to talk and then you are cracking stupid jokes. Then you are like why am I doing this? So, all of that was happening and then I was even telling him that I don’t need to crack these jokes. He’s like ‘it’s okay’…I said I have to be well-behaved. I have to be like an actor. He was very nice, but to me, everything was out of focus. It was just him and me.”

Sanya Malhotra on working with Shah Rukh Khan

Sanya told us, “He does make you feel like a star, he makes you feel very comfortable. He’s extremely humble and there is no such air about him when he’s on set he makes sure that everybody is just in the right space when he’s around and that’s what makes him Shah Rukh Khan – the king of Bollywood as many people say and I truly believe that he deserves that title.“

Priyamani on working with Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan

Priyamani said, “I did not show my excitement at all even after the Zoom call with Atlee sir. But yes, deep inside I was like oh my God I’m going to do a film with Shah Rukh Khan. It was like my dreams are coming true because I had grown up watching that man. I’ve seen almost all his films. Chennai Express had me working with him only for 5 days for a song, but here I am going to be working with him for 100 odd days. For an entire film, I’m going to be sharing the screen space with him. I felt like God was there he’s watching me and he’s kind and he’s saying okay this is meant for you.”
