Zeeshan talks about SRK’s kindness
In an interview with the YouTube channel, The Majlis Show, Zeeshan recalled that during Raees, the makers made promotional sweatshirts for everyone, but somehow, his didn’t arrive. “I asked, ‘Hey, where’s mine? Shah Rukh sir overheard and said, ‘Of course, it’s there’. He went inside and came back with one, which I later realised was his. He handed it to me and said, ‘Here, it is, just check the size. I tried and said, ‘Sir, this is yours,’ but he insisted, ‘It is yours, keep it’.” Zeeshan described it as one thing that he has taken from any actor that he will cherish forever.
“Shah Rukh Khan, as a human being, is amazing. As you spend time with him, you realise that there’s no one better in manners and disposition. An educated, wise, dignified, alert person who remembers everyone. He is actually so good and kind that you can never forget it. You meet him once in your life, and that will become one of the most important moments of your life, not because he is Shah Rukh Khan. There is a possibility that you don’t like him for his work, but as a person, you can’t deny how good he is,” Zeeshan added.
