Jackie Shroff looks back at his bond with Shah Rukh Khan and reveals what makes SRK's magic timeless
Whenever Shah Rukh Khan wins a Lifetime Achievement Award, Jackie Shroff should make the felicitation speech because the senior actor holds a wealth of goodwill for him. Jackie has starred alongside SRK in films straddling three decades.
Excerpts from the interview:
You are the male costar Shah Rukh has done the maximum films with...
Shah Rukh baba ke saath 25 film karoonga, then we will celebrate. I am never judgemental so I don't study people, but I would say he is a cool dude. He's absolutely respectful being such a big star. We are on the same wavelength. And he conducts himself superbly as one of India’s ambassadors across the world.
How do you plan to wish him on his 60th birthday?
I plan on giving him a plant, and to tell him to grow as many plants and trees as he can.
What is your analysis—Why has Shah Rukh been able to hold on to his position at the top for 30 years?
