Hidden side of Shah Rukh Khan: He was unwell but what he did after shooting left co-star in awe

Even after decades of being one of the most celebrated names in Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan continues to redefine what it truly means to be a superstar—not with grand gestures, but with quiet acts of humility, grace, and professionalism. A recent behind-the-scenes revelation from actor Jitin Gulati has once again proven that the King of Bollywood rules more than just the screen.

Speaking exclusively to Bollywood Bubble, Jitin opened up about his recent experience working with Shah Rukh Khan on a commercial shoot. Despite recovering from major knee surgery and being visibly unwell during the shoot, Shah Rukh showed up with complete dedication. Jitin described him as present, kind, and committed, not only giving his best on camera but also ensuring that every crew member felt acknowledged. After the shoot wrapped, Shah Rukh reportedly stayed back to take photographs with the entire crew—a gesture that, according to Jitin, left everyone moved and inspired.

Jitin also shared how working with SRK felt like a lesson in humility and stardom. Observing his calm patience, deep respect for every individual on set, and unwavering devotion to the craft made Jitin realise what it takes to be not just a successful actor but a lasting icon. He called Shah Rukh one of the most professional and humble actors he has ever worked with.

Gauahar Khan about SRK

This isn’t the first time someone from the industry has spoken about Shah Rukh’s down-to-earth personality. Actress Gauahar Khan, in an earlier interview with IANS, recalled an interaction with Shah Rukh during the early days of her career. She had hosted a show during the shooting of Fauji 2, where SRK was also present. Even back then, his grace stood out. Gauahar remembered how respectfully he spoke to her backstage and the dignified way he addressed his friends and colleagues, leaving a mark that stayed with her.

She shared that while Shah Rukh’s stardom may shine on stage, it’s his small, thoughtful gestures behind the scenes that truly set him apart.
