Saumya Tandon recalls working with Shah Rukh Khan In a recent conversation with Digital Commentary, the television actress began by reflecting on her collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, mentioning that she felt about “reaching a milestone in her career.” Recounting the days from her ‘Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout’ hosting days, the actress said, “It did not turn out as expected. It became the biggest flop of my career. Despite that, I had a fantastic time meeting and working with Shah Rukh. He is extremely sharp and clever. Besides being a brilliant actor, he exhibits wit and intelligence. Earlier, I was not an SRK fan but my perception completely changed after meeting him.” Further heaping more words of praise on SRK’s work ethic and humility towards other co-stars, Saumya Tandon recalled an incident while she was co-hosting the show’s launch event. “I remember I had to co-host the show with him. When I came, he stood up. He doesn’t have to. He is such a big star. All the CEOs and other important personalities were waiting to meet him but he said ‘This is my time with her’. So everybody was standing till the time he finished his rehearsal with me. We rehearsed for close to an hour. When he was with me, he was just with me, looking into my eyes, making me feel important, and giving me respect, time, and space. He didn’t make me feel like I was a new person. He asked me 2-3 times if I wanted to rehearse,” she said further adding that she received “unadulterated attention” from the actor which makes him the “most romantic person.”
