Mumbai, April 24 (NationPress) Actor Pavail Gulatie openly admitted that even today, catching a glimpse of Shah Rukh Khan from a distance makes him want to retreat — not due to indifference, but because he feels completely overwhelmed by the superstar's presence.
The ‘Deva’ actor has frequently expressed his admiration for the Bollywood icon, but in a recent disclosure, he revealed how SRK has significantly influenced his love for cinema. Recently, Pavail articulated his profound respect for Shah Rukh Khan, dubbing himself “a graduate from the Shah Rukh School of Chivalry.” He mentioned that Khan's impact extends beyond cinema—shaping not only his enthusiasm for films but also playing a crucial role in molding his character and principles.
“I'm a proud 90s kid, and I grew up watching Shah Rukh Khan's films, appreciating not just his on-screen allure but also the way he comported himself off-screen. I would watch his interviews and interactions, always in amazement. My schoolmates and I would joke that we all graduated from the 'Shah Rukh School of Chivalry.' The way he treated women, whether at award ceremonies, escorting co-stars to the stage, or assisting them to their seats, left an indelible mark on us,” the actor recounted.
Gulati continued, “To me, he was more than just a film star; he was a role model, even outside of films. Naturally, one cannot be Shah Rukh Khan, but one can aspire to emulate him. He possessed, and still possesses, a charm and presence that is difficult to articulate. Even now, should I spot him from afar, I would likely run away not because I wish to avoid him, but because I would feel too overwhelmed to approach him in a crowd.”
When asked about his favorite Shah Rukh Khan movie, Pavail Gulatie shared, “Yes Boss is a film that I cherish dearly. It might not be the most acclaimed SRK film, but for me, it holds a unique significance. I recall coming home from school, playing the cassette, locking my door, and dancing endlessly to its tunes. I loved it so much that I ended up buying three cassettes! That film was a substantial part of my childhood, and I will always have an emotional connection to it.”
On a professional note, Pavail, who was recently seen with Shahid Kapoor in “Deva,” first garnered widespread acclaim for his compelling and nuanced portrayal in “Thappad.”
