Despite the fact that superstar Shah Rukh Khan has a big personality, he is equally humble in real life. When anyone tells a story about meeting him, Shah Rukh’s hospitality, his humility and his heart-winning moves are sure to be mentioned.
Now, Punjabi music icon Gurdas Maan has spoken about how Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Adaab’ won his heart. Gurdas Maan sang two very popular songs in one of Shahrukh’s iconic films, ‘Veer Zara’. Gurdas also made a cameo appearance in one of the songs, ‘Des Hai Mera’, where he was seen performing Bhangra with Shahrukh.
Now, Maan Saheb has spoken about his meeting with Shahrukh and his character during the shoot. Known as the ‘Pride of Punjab’, Gurdas also spoke about his meeting with the Hindi film industry and artistes in Mumbai and the love he received from them.
How Hindi film stars deal with their Punjabi heritage in Mumbai
In an interview with TV 9, Gurdas Maan said that he first came to Mumbai to attend the ‘Baisakhi Nights.’ The initiative was organised by the Bombay Punjabi Association, which was started under the patronage of Hindi film icon and the first big star of the Kapoor family, Prithviraj Kapoor.
People told Gurdas that once upon a time, Prithviraj Kapoor himself used to perform on the stage, his son Raj Kapoor used to open the curtain of the stage, and Pran, the best actor of the time, used to prepare the stage etc. All these people and icons like Dilip Kumar have done a lot to keep alive the culture that they left behind in Pakistan after the partition.
When Gurdas Maan became King Akbar in Mumbai show
Gurdas says he got the role of Emperor Akbar for his performance in the show after seeing his nose and he has to give credit to Anarkali’s Mujra. Pran Saheb himself helped Gurdas prepare for the role.
Shah Rukh’s ‘Adaab’ wins Maan Saheb’s heart
When Shah Rukh was mentioned in the meeting with Hindi film stars, Gurdas Maan spoke out. He said: ‘Shah Rukh ji loved me very much. I worked with him for a while in Veer Zara. He did just a little bit but when he hugged me and held me… it was a loving and welcoming gesture. He took me in his car, fed me whatever I wanted to drink and eat and took me in the car.
Shah Rukh is known for being very respectful to others, even leaving them in his car when he leaves. On Shah Rukh’s Adab, Gurdas said, “What a great artist! Someone with good manners in his heart… These are the things that make an artist – manners, manners and etiquette. If these things are missed, then who asks a friend… Then someone is an elder in his own home, I am in my own home!
