Hina Khan on her first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan

Sharing how she met Shah Rukh Khan on a flight, Hina Khan recalled, “The first time I met SRK, we were on the same flight. It had been a year and a half since my show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai had started. I was very new in the industry. I saw him sitting next to me. I took a deep breath and saw again that he was sleeping. I couldn’t believe it. I was anxious to get a photo, but he wasn’t waking up. Somehow he woke up for coffee. I waved a hi to him and asked if I could get a picture. He said, ‘Wait, I’ll give you a photo.’ He had his coffee, and went back to sleep. I kept waiting. Once we landed, I thought I missed the chance, but he got up, called me, and clicked a picture. We were also in the same coach later. He went to the last seat and slept. He was promoting some film at the time and hadn’t slept for days.”

Abhinav Shukla also recalled his first meeting with Shah Rukh and said, “My first meeting with SRK was when I was fresh off the boat from Punjab and modelling in Mumbai. We were doing a ramp show for a watch brand, and we were backstage. We saw SRK enter; it was the first time I saw him. I decided to go and shake his hand. He was talking to his manager, then he looked at me, got up, and shook my hand. That defines the character of that man.”
