Throwback Thursday: When Taapsee Pannu admitted being 'frozen at that moment' while romancing Shah Rukh Khan in Dunki

Taapsee Pannu, known for her roles in a variety of films spanning different genres, has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. With Dunki’s success she is believed to be Shah Rukh’s heroine. The chemistry of Shah Rukh and Taapsee won the hearts of people.

However, her experience of sharing the screen with Shah Rukh Khan brought about its own set of unique hurdles as she delved into the complexities of portraying romantic scenes opposite a Bollywood icon like Shah Rukh Khan.

She recently said “In your head, obviously all the flash cuts of all his films and the moments he has created on screen, his songs to his dialogues and all of that keep giving a good reel. But when you come in front of him, it’s not like he has an intimidating personality. He is a very warm and welcoming person. But because you can see the same man you’ve been seeing for years on the big screen, you just freeze at that moment.”

Being the heroine of Shah Rukh she has garnered a lot of praise. She further stated: “I had to constantly keep shaking myself after the first couple of meetings, like, “Come back to reality.. he’s just sitting there in front of me”. It was never like anybody got to know about it or I shared it with anyone because it’ll be very odd if I do that. I don’t want to mess it up in any way. So you’re putting up this very confident and brave front, but you know, mentally, you are in a certain danger looking at him. But, it did take me a couple of days to actually snap out of it.''

Taapsee Pannu’s remarks provide valuable insight into the challenges and rewards of romancing Shah Rukh Khan on the silver screen. The actor will be next seen in _Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba_ and Khil Khil.
