When Deepika Padukone opened up about her precious bond with Shah Rukh Khan: ‘That hug, that look is very special’
Deepika Padukone had also revealed an advice given by Shah Rukh Khan that stayed with her.

Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone had previously revealed Shah Rukh Khan’s advice to a 21-year-old Deepika. The Fighter actor reflected on the ‘extremely precious and special’ bond she shares with Shah Rukh and said that he is always there for her. Deepika and Shah Rukh recently shared screen space in the blockbuster films Pathaan and Jawan. Deepika made her Hindi film debut with Om Shanti Om opposite Shah Rukh.
In an interview with Atika Farooqui , Deepika had said, “He (Shah Rukh Khan) was the first person to tell me, amongst all of the wisdom that he was sharing with me. He said, ‘Baby, always remember to work with people you know you’re going to have a good time with, where you know you’re going to enjoy yourself.’ Anyone who knows Shah Rukh knows that he’s full of wisdom, and for me, that was a huge learning. Every day, you know something about something or the other, I’d keep learning. But this one thing really stayed with me.”
Deepika shared that her time working with Shah Rukh at the age of 21 was filled with daily doses of wisdom. This valuable lesson serves as a guiding principle for her, especially in the context of making movies. According to her, finding joy in working with people in the film industry is key. Even if a film doesn’t perform well, having a positive work experience is essential. Deepika noted that having a bad experience while making a less successful film can be particularly challenging.

Deepika shared that sometimes, words aren’t needed between certain people. She discussed spending enjoyable moments together, where the person doesn’t have to say much.
The actor continued, “We’re not in touch every day. I engage with him the most, obviously, when we’re working on a movie. But that hug, that look, is very special. What he and I share, or at least what I share with him, is extremely precious, extremely special. When I’m confused or if I’m stuck, I call him. He’s always there. If he’s going through something in his life. I will meet him somewhere, and I’ll say, ‘I know. I understand.’”
Deepika was last seen in Fighter opposite Hrithik Roshan. The film was helmed by Siddharth Anand and also starred Anil Kapoor and Karan Singh Grover among others.
