The tales of Shah Rukh Khan being an extraordinary co-star are endless. In a recent interview, director Tigmanshu Dulia recalled the time when he worked with SRK in Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se. Dhulia, who penned the dialogues of the 1998 film, recalled an incident highlighting Shah Rukh’s humility on the set.
The filmmaker-actor, in a chat with Mashable India, recalled that SRK was “already a superstar” when they were making Dil Se. He shared that Ratnam would shoot in distant locations and would sometimes make impromptu decisions about where they were going to shoot. He recalled that the lunch hour was a strict one-hour break during which Shah Rukh would finish his lunch as quickly as possible and then would take a nap on the floor of the bus. “He would take a nap on the floor of the bus. His boy would just put out a simple sheet for him on the floor and he would take a power nap. Shah Rukh never said that I am sleeping there,” he shared.
Dhulia said that he is still the “brilliant” man that he saw all those years ago on Dil Se. “He has not changed one bit. It’s not like I meet him once a month. I meet him once every 3-4 years but he so much humility…”
Tigmanshu Dhulia played the role of Shah Rukh Khan’s father in 2018’s Zero.
