SRK's 'Pathaan' Co-Star Recalls Hilarious Conversation With Bollywood Superstar. And We Can’t Relate More!
Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' co-star Rajat Kaul spoke about the time when he had to do an action scene with the actor.
Over the course of his three-decade long career, Shah Rukh Khan has worked with several actors. King Khan's co-stars have always had wonderful things to say about the Bollywood superstar, and in the latest entertainment news, Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' co-star Rajat Kaul spoke about the time when he had to do an action scene with the actor in the YRF Spy Universe film. For the unversed, Rajat Kaul was recently seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar'.
Rajat Kaul shared that during his scene, his and SRK's faces were quite close to each other, and it was in that moment, Rajat remembered that he had quinoa and raw onion salad for lunch.
In a chat with Filmibeat OTT, Rajat said that they were shooting at YRF Studios. “I am standing in front of him and I am grinning. What else could I say? He looked at me and said ‘Karein? (Shall we?)’ And I said ‘Haan sir, isi din ka wait tha."
“I was tied up and I was still chewing that salad. And he has come this close and he is holding my face. He is talking to me and he is saying his lines and I am talking to him saying my lines. In the middle of this, I realise that I just had quinoa and raw onion salad. I was trying to suss out the smell that all his leading ladies talk about, that he smells so good and I can’t smell that because I have onion in my mouth. And I ask ‘sir, you are so close to me, can you smell onion on my breath?’ And he’s like ‘nahi nahi yaar’," he added.
Rajat Kaul said that even Shah Rukh ended up laughing by the end of their conversation. He also revealed that he was present during the muhurat shot of 'Pathaan', which was his first meeting with the Badshaah of Bollywood.
“He came and said ‘thank you for doing the film’. He doesn’t have to say that but he did, and that was more than enough for me. It makes you feel like now I can do anything for him. That was quite a heartfelt moment,” he shared.
Rajat Kaul revealed that during one of the action scenes, him and Shah Rukh were trying to work out the moves and it was then that the Bollywood superstar told him how he was going to do a particular move.
“There was a metal bar behind my head so he said I’ll put my hand on the back of your head so you don’t hit it. But what was going on in my head was ‘I hope he doesn’t break his Rolex watch’," he said.
Rajat also shared that SRK allows his co-actors to try different things.
