Actor Bobby Deol, who essays the role of Ajay Talwar in the recently released streaming show `The Ba***ds of Bollywood`, has spoken up on his friendship with Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan. The actor, who has been directed by SRK`s elder son, Aryan Khan, in the OTT show, spoke with IANS in the BKC area during the promotional campaign of the show, and opened up on his friendship of 3 decades with SRK.
Bobby told IANS, “The kind of person Shah Rukh is, that`s the reason why he is where he is today. He`s very grounded, and he`s a very family-oriented man. The only thought I`m sure that keeps him going is that he wants to be there for his family, and I think that`s the similarity every parent has. But besides that, we`ve never been really in touch with each other all throughout these 30 years, but yeah, whenever we meet, it doesn`t feel like we`re meeting after a long time”.
He further mentioned, “And every time, he makes you feel very special. He always gives you that love and affection, and that counts a lot, it means a lot. He`s always, always gone out of his way. He`s the nicest and kindest person, even though he became such a big star. He didn`t lose that quality. I think that`s something which everyone, including my co-actors in the show, who have looked up to him, should keep in mind, that you don`t lose your humanity as a person. I think that`s something incredible and great about SRK.”
Earlier, Bobby had shared how he became a part of the show and what led to him sitting with Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, and the director of the show, for 7 hours. He earlier said, “When I got the phone call from Red Chillies Entertainment`s office and they said that they`re producing this show and Aryan is directing it. I just said, `I`m doing it.”
“I didn`t even think of listening to the script because I can understand what every father wants to do good for his son. I could understand what Shah Rukh must be going through that his son is taking his first step in the industry”, he added.
