Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan are among the best on-screen couples in Bollywood who have entertained the fans with their admirable chemistry in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and My Name Is Khan, among others. But unlike the expectation, the duo’s interaction didn’t exactly start on a smooth note. Although Kajol is good friends with Shah Rukh Khan now, the actress, in a recent interview, opened up about how she found SRK to be ‘rude’ and ‘mean’ after their first meeting on the set of their 1993 film, Baazigar.
Kajol reveals Shah Rukh Khan asked her to shut up on their first meeting
Kajol sat down for a conversation with Radio Nasha Official and recalled shooting for Baazigar when she was just a little more than 17 years old. She revealed that they were shooting on the first day of the year, and she didn’t have any problem since she wasn’t used to attend New Year parties. However, everyone else on the set had a hangover and came to the set without getting an ounce of sleep because SRK liked to shoot on the day. He believed that working on the first day of the year meant one could work every day for the rest of the year. Recalling how she asked about the Don 2 actor’s whereabouts, Kajol said:
“I was talking to the cameraman, my makeup man and hairdresser. I am jabbering away. Meri awaaz bagair mic ke kahan kahan pahuch jaati hai. After a point, I said, ‘Ravi dada, yeh kya khadoos actor hai aap ka’. Bechara Shah Rukh chashma pehnke apni lines padh raha tha.”
