Mumbai, June 17 (NationPress) Actress Gauahar Khan recently reflected on her initial encounters with the superstar Shah Rukh Khan, reminiscing about instances that, in her view, embody the genuine spirit of his stardom.
Discussing his grace, respect, and humility both on and off the stage, Gauahar emphasized how small gestures from Shah Rukh left an enduring impact on her. In a conversation with IANS, the ‘14 Phere’ actress shared moments and qualities that make SRK not only a cherished actor but also an extraordinary individual whose stardom resonates beyond the screen.
Reflecting on her nascent career, Gauahar recalled hosting a program where Shah Rukh was present during the filming of Fauji 2. She noted that it was backstage where she witnessed the legendary actor's humility firsthand.
“We had no connection with Fauji. However, when Fauji 2 was about to release, the first kit was forwarded to Shah Rukh sir. But during the shoot of Fauji, I had the honor of hosting a show he attended. The respect he showed me backstage, the way he spoke to me on stage, and how he interacts with his friends—that is his greatness. It is these small acts that elevate him to such superstar status, as he truly touches the hearts of people,” she expressed.
Gauahar further shared that even after many years, he still greets her with warmth and kindness, which she holds dear. She expressed her pride and gratitude for being part of the same Fauji legacy, a story she intends to share with her children.
“Today I’m sharing this because I will cherish it forever. Whenever I see him, even after all these years, he welcomes me with so much affection. For me, it is enough that in Fauji 1, there was Shah Rukh Khan, and in Fauji 2, there is Gauahar Khan. I will recount this to my children for life. By passing on this legacy, I am deeply thankful to Allah.
