Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan takes the time to hug everyone on the set of his movies as part of a ritual whenever he finishes shooting
Shah Rukh Khan takes the time to hug everyone on the set of his movies when he finishes filming.
The actor's special ritual was revealed by his 'Jawan' co-star Eijaz Khan who revealed he was impressed by the lead actor's gracious attitude towards his co-workers as he takes an interest in getting to know them - and he gives everyone hugs at the end of the shoot.
Speaking to Subhojit Ghosh, Eijaz explained he was amazed to be embraced by SRK when filming wrapped. He said: "The greatest thing about Shah Rukh is that the amount of love we give him, he gives more in return to each and every individual.
"When he comes on set, of course everyone’s in a hurry to start. But when he finishes the shoot, he goes to his van and changes, comes back, and then meets each and every person individually, hugs them, and then leaves. And you feel so special. It’s like your day is made, your month is made, your life is made. ‘Shah Rukh Khan hugged me’. If he knows something about you, he will ask.”
Writer/director Tigmanshu Dhulia - who worked with SRK on 2018 film 'Zero' - also previously praised the actor for his kindness towards other and hailed his impeccable manners. He told Mashable: "On 'Zero', since it was his own production, he would offer chairs to everyone. Ask everyone if they had their food. It felt like we ... have come to his house for a wedding.
"Even if he didn’t do it, no one would have a problem. He is Shah Rukh Khan. But no, his manners are extraordinary. He is a very humble man, very well mannered."
