SRK’s grounded behaviour on set
Preeti Jhangiani told Lallantop Cinema that she often saw Shah Rukh Khan sitting on the floor, chatting with a spot boy and asking about his life—without any special chair or VIP treatment. She noted that in her later films, other stars didn’t behave this way, and SRK’s grounded nature left a lasting impression on her.
