What! Swara Bhaskar was asked to play Shah Rukh Khan’s mother in one of his films

Swara Bhaskar is one of those Bollywood actresses who can do anything and everything for King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan. She is one die-hard fan of him who adores SRK like no one else. And of course, she wants to share screen space with him, but will she feature as Shah Rukh Khan’s mom? May be not!

In her recent interview, she opened up on how filmmaker Aanand L. Rai. left her shocked when he offered her a role of Shah Rukh’s mother in one of his films. She narrated the incident and said, “I love Shah Rukh Khan. I have grown up watching his films. ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ actually ruined my life.”

Further confessing, “I told Shah Rukh sir in the presence of Aanand sir to please ask him to cast me in his film with him.” She put up a condition too that she does not want to play his sister or daughter in the film. What followed this, left Swara in a state of shock.

Her request received an amusing reply from director Aanand L. Rai. He replied to her by saying, “‘Beta, I can only offer you his mother’s role!’ I (Swara Bhaskar) was like this is the worst conversation I’ve ever had.”

Haha! Sure it would have broken Swara’s heart but sooner or later, actress may get an opportunity to star with the Khan. (Also Read: Shah Rukh Khan clears the air about refusing a film with Kangana Ranaut)
