BOLLYWOOD Aanjjan Srivastav hails 'sweet' Shah Rukh Khan
Aanjjan Srivastav has heaped praise on Shah Rukh Khan, describing him as one of the "sweetest" stars in Bollywood.
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the "sweetest" stars in Bollywood, according to Aanjjan Srivastav.
The veteran actor has known Shah, 57, for years, and he is full of praise for the movie star, who began his career with appearances in several TV shows in the 80s.
Speaking to IndianExpress.com, he shared: "Shah Rukh Khan was a young man when he did an episode with us in 'Wagle Ki Duniya'. He then did 'Circus', and then his first film, 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa'.
"I have known him from his early days, and I am very happy for where he has reached. But I had maintained that I would not go and ask for work just because I have worked with someone before."
Aanjjan believes Shah is one of the nicest actors in the Indian movie business.
The veteran star shared a story about an encounter with the award-winning actor, who is also known as SRK.
He said: "Shah Rukh has always been the sweetest.
"Once, before 'Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani', we ran into each other, I was walking and a car came up to me and flashed its headlight. It was SRK; he got down from the car and met me. He asked me where I have been and what I was doing.
"He also asked me why I was not keeping in touch with him, so I said I had no means of contacting him. ‘Where do I contact you?’ so he went to a pan shop nearby, got a piece of paper and wrote down his pager number, saying he’ll be directly available on it. I never contacted him for work, but then he called me for 'Chak De India'."
