Eijaz Khan has not only appeared in numerous beloved Hindi films, television shows and streaming series but has also shared the screen with some of Bollywood’s biggest stars, including Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. In fact, he recently opened up about their generous personalities and willingness to help others. Revealing that while he turns to Salman for guidance on various aspects of life, including his career, Eijaz also reflected on what traits make Shah Rukh the undisputed "King". Having collaborated with Salman Khan during his stint as a contestant on Bigg Boss Season 14, Eijaz dubbed the superstar as a highly intelligent person and someone who offers meaningful advice. "I think it’s because he comes from a family where his father (Salim Khan) is one of the greatest writers in the industry. He has seen superstardom at such a young age and has maintained it for so many years. Whatever little advice he gives is always meaningful. Even on Bigg Boss, when he used to give advice, I wouldn’t always understand why he was saying it. But I knew that whatever he said was for our own good," he shared during a chat with Bollywood Bubble. He added, "At the time, I didn’t fully grasp it, but in hindsight, I realise he was right about everything. He’s very, very intelligent, he’s one person — if I ever need advice, not just about my career but also about my life — I would go to him."

"He is the king. Wherever he goes, he spreads his blessings. He wants you to shine in his light. He’s not the kind of person who keeps it all to himself. He is the last of the superstars, right? And he’s not someone who just rests on his success. He wants you to be a part of his journey and succeed just as much as he wants to succeed," he shared. Eijaz added, "When he comes on set — when he hugs you, holds your hand, talks to you — it feels like he’s sharing a part of his ‘blessings’ with you. I was very, very lucky to be a part of Jawan at this stage. Some people even said, 'Who else has done a film with Shah Rukh after Bigg Boss?'" The actor was last seen in director Rishab Seth's romantic action comedy Dhoom Dhaam, starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Pratik Gandhi in the lead roles.
