Shah Rukh Khan, over the years, has won several hearts not only for his acting skills but also for his generosity. Often actors and directors speak about his well-behaved and helping nature. The latest actor to join the list is Pramod Pathak, who played the role of Gujarat’s Chief Minister in Shah Rukh Khan’s 2017 film Raees.

In a viral video, Pramod can be seen praising Shah Rukh and sharing his experience of working with the actor. He said, “Usually people are under the impression that Shah Rukh Khan is a superstar. He must be quite intimidating. But, he is a very simple man. He comes on set in his character. His only focus is on his work.”

The actor added, “The best part about working with him was that he never made me feel he was a superstar. He would always ask whether or not I liked the take in the film. He would take suggestions and also share his opinion. It was quiet easy to work with him. I have had a great experience working with him. He didn’t have any ego or star attitude. It was just like two characters are working together.”
