Since it was an emotional scene for me in that shot, he calmed me down completely. He could feel that I was a little nervous. He put me at ease with his gentle, warm behavior. He also appreciated my performance and said, ‘Mashallah, you’re a very good actor.’ That’s going to stay very close to my heart forever.”
Lehar Khan shared what she learned from Shah Rukh Khan
Talking further about the movie and the King of Bollywood, Lehar said that SRK rehearses a lot. She added, “He rehearses his part till the time he perfects it. And then he gave his takes. He doesn’t waste many takes. You can see that he is very experienced. He still has that passion in him. The second thing I learned was to have that liveliness in me as an actor, just like him. I just want to work hard and make my character look different. Something about it should stand out.”
