Millennials remember yesteryear actor Bindu as Salman Khan’s aunt in Hum Aapke Hai Koun and Shah Rukh Khan’s teacher in Main Hoon Na. As much as the audience enjoyed watching her on screen in the comic roles, she had a great time filming for them. Bindu, in a new interview, narrated how both SRK and Salman had immense respect for her on the sets and even today when they meet her, they give her so much respect.

Bindu essayed the role of Shah Rukh’s Hindi teacher in Farah Khan’s Main Hoon Na, who had her own vocabulary when it came to speaking English. During the shoot of the film in Darjeeling, the actor was impressed with Shah Rukh’s ‘sweet’ gesture towards her.

“He is a very sweet, very gentle person. Being a senior artiste, he used to give me a lot of respect. We were shooting in Darjeeling for Main Hoon Na. All of us were standing there after the rehearsal while the camera setup was being done. He saw that I was standing under the scorching sun. He didn’t call any spot boy and picked up a chair and came to me with it. He said, ‘Madam, baithiye (Mam, please sit). It was such a nice gesture. I was so moved,” Bindu told Bollywood Hungama.
