Veerendra Saxena Reflects on Early Days with Shah Rukh Khan

Actor Veerendra Saxena recently reminisced about his initial experiences working alongside Shah Rukh Khan during the filming of Dil Dariya and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. He expressed a fatherly affection towards Shah Rukh, highlighting his respectful demeanor towards everyone on set.

First Collaboration: A Fond Memory

In a recent episode of Friday Talkies, Saxena discussed their first project together, Dil Dariya, where he played SRK’s father. “You could say that Shah Rukh was like a child from my own home. His first role was alongside me, where I portrayed his father. He was a well-mannered young man, often picking me up from my house on his way to the set,” he shared.

A Memorable Trip to Goa

Saxena also recounted a trip to Goa, where Shah Rukh introduced him to his wife, Gauri Khan. “It was my first visit to Goa, and I had no idea that Shah Rukh had gotten married until he introduced me to Gauri. I congratulated him and was about to leave for the bus that was taking all the actors. However, he stopped me and said, ‘Your scenes are with me. What will you do on set right now?’ He kindly offered to take me with him later in the car that was coming to pick him up,” Saxena recalled.

Ensuring Comfort and Enjoyment

Shah Rukh went above and beyond to ensure Saxena’s comfort while waiting for the shoot. Saxena remembered how the Jawan star called the director to inform him that Saxena would be accompanying him. He also fondly recalled how Shah Rukh encouraged him to explore a nearby restaurant to try the local fish and some regional drinks.

Legacy of ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa’

The 1993 film Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, directed by Kundan Shah, featured Shah Rukh Khan and Deepak Tijori in pivotal roles, further solidifying SRK’s status in the film industry.

These anecdotes not only showcase Shah Rukh Khan’s character but also highlight the importance of camaraderie and support in the film and television entertainment industry, which can significantly enhance collaborative efforts and foster a positive working environment.
