Shah Rukh Khan, basking in the success of Jawan, showcased not only his on-screen brilliance but also his caring nature behind the scenes. Co-star Priyamani recently shared a touching incident that revealed SRK’s thoughtful side during director Atlee’s birthday bash.
The Birthday Celebration:
In an interview with Curly Tales, Priyamani recounted Atlee’s grand birthday party attended by the entire Jawan team, including the megastar Shah Rukh Khan and Thalapathy Vijay. Amidst the festivities, Shah Rukh’s considerate act became a highlight, going beyond his superstar persona.
Ensuring Safety:
As the celebration concluded around 2-3 am, Shah Rukh Khan took it upon himself to guarantee the safety of his female colleagues. Priyamani shared that, despite assurances that they were fine, SRK arranged for two bodyguards to accompany the women back to their hotel.
Personal Escort and Extra Precautions:
SRK personally escorted them to their cars, ensuring a safe departure from the party. Despite their initial reluctance, Shah Rukh insisted on the necessity of having bodyguards accompany them. The Family Man actress expressed gratitude for SRK’s exceptional care and highlighted the guards’ commitment to waiting until the women safely reached their hotel.
Thoughtful Farewell:
Priyamani revealed that upon reaching the hotel, the guards, following Shah Rukh’s instructions, insisted on waiting until the actresses were safely in the elevator before bidding farewell. Describing this gesture as exceptionally thoughtful and caring, Priyamani acknowledged Shah Rukh Khan’s commitment to the well-being of his colleagues.
Previous Collaboration:
Prior to Jawan, Shah Rukh and Priyamani had collaborated on the song “One Two Three Four” for Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express. During the filming of “Zinda Banda” for Jawan, SRK affectionately referred to Priyamani as his dance teacher and insisted she stand beside him, showcasing their camaraderie.
Shah Rukh Khan’s compassionate gesture off-screen further reinforces his status not just as a Bollywood icon but as a considerate colleague and friend.
