In an episode of Koffee with Karan, Shah Rukh Khan, often referred to as the “King Khan” of Bollywood, shared some intriguing anecdotes from his early days in the film industry. During a conversation with host Karan Johar and co-guest Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh revealed that his initial interactions with some of his co-stars were quite surprising, to say the least.
One of the most notable stories Shah Rukh shared involved actress Juhi Chawla, with whom he has worked on several successful films. According to Shah Rukh, when Juhi first met him, she was taken aback and exclaimed, “Eeks!” Reflecting on this moment, Shah Rukh explained that Juhi was informed by the filmmakers of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman that a new actor, somewhat like Aamir Khan, had been cast in the movie. When she finally met Shah Rukh, her reaction was, “He is not like Aamir Khan; he is brown and scruffy, and his hair is all wrong.” This candid admission drew laughter from the audience and highlighted how different first impressions can be in the entertainment industry.
Shah Rukh’s story didn’t end there. He also recalled an encounter with the late actress Divya Bharti. He reminisced about their introduction and how Divya’s reaction was equally memorable. Shah Rukh mentioned that when Divya saw him for the first time, she reacted with a dramatic “Eeeh uhhh” before simply walking away. This reaction, as described by Shah Rukh, was prompted by his unconventional looks and demeanor, which didn’t fit the typical leading man image prevalent in Bollywood at that time.
Shah Rukh also discussed the broader challenges he faced when he first entered Bollywood. Having done a bit of theater before his film career, Shah Rukh approached acting with a mindset that there’s “nothing right or wrong; you just act.”He humorously recounted the times when people made strange faces upon seeing him, signaling their skepticism about his fit for the silver screen.
Shah Rukh’s stories on Koffee with Karan also serve as a reminder that success in the film industry often comes from perseverance and staying true to oneself. His unconventional looks and raw acting style, which once elicited surprised reactions, became his trademarks and helped him carve out a niche in Bollywood. Over time, the same qualities that were initially seen as shortcomings became his strengths, making him one of the most beloved actors in the industry.
In sharing these anecdotes, Shah Rukh Khan not only entertained his fans but also offered valuable insights into the journey of an actor.
