Short filmTranscript
00:00There are a few things that I used to pray for, but
00:03I want to work with Shahrukh Khan was one of them. I said
00:08It's with Shahrukh Khan my mother
00:16I said no Amma, she said you're lying
00:19I just I went to him and I said hello, and he said Assalamualaikum
00:31How could I not say Assalamualaikum, that's my thing I'm from Pakistan believe me
00:39He was working harder than any one of us
00:44that's why
00:46when I
01:00used to play music in Guru Dutt's background. I liked Madhuri Dixit a lot
01:06and I was a fan of Shahrukh Khan and then one day
01:10I became a heroine of Shahrukh Khan
01:12Shahrukh Khan, so it's very it's something
01:15again, there are a few things that are personal
01:19I feel that if
01:22we say it, then it doesn't stay with us
01:25So I'll try to protect as much as I can, but I can tell you how it happened
01:33Hamsafar
01:35of course
01:37I went to Mumbai for Hamsafar
01:39so
01:41he was on air after 3 years
01:43and he called me for promotions
01:45so I went and
01:47I got a call

07:48oh my god of course
07:50greetings
07:52you did it
07:58greetings
08:00because imagine
08:02I was neutral
08:04I said hello
08:06how would I know
08:08greetings
08:10after that I
08:12I said
08:14greetings
08:16every morning
08:18greetings
08:20I had a very good time
08:22I have learnt a lot
08:26for example
08:30I mean we can't
08:32let it go so easily
08:34I have never actually
08:36talked about it
08:38no
08:40okay
08:42so she is asking what we do
08:44otherwise we think
08:46we just do it
08:48no
08:54okay
08:56I see that
08:58I saw that
09:00but I don't know
09:02what to talk about
09:04I never really talk about this
09:06but okay
09:08he is a very
09:10so he is
09:12so there I will tell you what all I learnt from him
09:14apart from singing in high speed
09:16I learnt
09:18which is something
09:20that one must learn from Shah Rukh Khan
09:22you know
09:24he can do that like nobody other
09:27the other thing I learnt from him was
09:29that he is
09:31a very giving actor
09:33he does not care about
09:35just his own dialogue
09:37or his scene or his performance
09:39believe me
09:41he cares about every single person
09:43in the frame
09:45and he says that he is like you know
09:47a film is made in totality
09:49if you are good
09:51then I will be good
09:53and vice versa
09:55so he always used to say that
09:57to me
09:59one thing he always says
10:01speed up the
10:03you know we are so used to talking slowly
10:05at least I speak slowly I think
10:07so he would always say
10:09let's talk fast
10:11I can't speak fast
10:13so you know
10:15there were two different schools of acting
10:17I think
10:19so there are so many things
10:21he told me it was an experience
10:23I would sit with him
10:25I would ask him questions
10:27I would ask him about the films that I liked him in
10:29you know
10:31like Dil Se and stuff like that
10:33I would ask him
10:35did you also like yourself in that
10:37as much as we all liked you in that
10:39stuff like that
10:41another thing that I learnt
10:43and that's why
10:45I mean I always felt this
10:47but now I feel this even more
10:49it can be Shah Rukh Khan
10:51it could be Brad Pitt
10:53or Daniel Day Lewis
10:55whoever it may be
10:57but yes I worked with someone who is supposedly
10:59and he is
11:01the biggest star that
11:03is there supposedly
11:05he has been rated the number one
11:07he is the number one or second
11:09most powerful actor
11:11so here he was the most powerful actor
11:13star in front of me
11:15and
11:17believe me
11:19he was
11:21working harder than
11:23any one of us
11:25that's why
11:27when I
11:29this applause should reach Arnab Goswami
11:31and not anyone else
11:33you are right
11:35so when
11:37and you know the things that he does
11:39he stops for every selfie
11:41he stops for his fans
11:43so anytime I think about it
11:45I feel that's my greatest treasure
11:47that
11:49I will stand there on set
11:51because I saw someone do it
11:53and I felt like I want to be like this
