Shah Rukh Khan had to endure many slaps from Suchitra Krishnamoorthi during Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa: ‘Like a gentleman, he didn’t say anything’

“It took a lot of takes and I started crying because I had to slap Shah Rukh and it was going take after take and finally I started crying because I couldn’t do it any more. Kundan was particular that it should be real, we didn’t use to do play-acting. And Shah Rukh, being the gentleman that he is, didn’t say anything. But I could see he was going backwards,” Krishnamoorthi told Bollywood Hungama.

For her, it was “very painful” to do the scene. “I mean normal people don’t go and slap other people. Shah Rukh is a pro but I couldn’t do it, I just burst out crying,” she added.

The coming-of-age romantic comedy Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa also starred Deepak Tijori and Naseeruddin Shah. The film completed 29 years of release recently and on the occasion, Shah Rukh revealed he learnt an important life lesson from the film.

“At that stage…in that age…..raw….uncontrolled…craft still undefined….surrounded by the best cast & crew in India and a director who I miss every day! Taught me that sometimes u lose the moment….but win everything else…I am sure somewhere, some world Sunil did too!” he tweeted.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa was made on a small budget. The cast and crew used to stay in Goa Tourism guest house where the rooms were not great. Suchitra Krishnamoorti also revealed that there was very less budget even for cold drinks and sandwiches.
