In the year 1998, a film of Shahrukh Khan was released. The name of the film was Dil Se. Preity Zinta and Manisha Koirala were seen with Shahrukh Khan in this film. This film is considered to be one of the best films of Shahrukh Khan’s career. Some parts of this film were shot in Ladakh. Today we are telling you an anecdote related to this film. During the shoot of this film, there were no vanity vans in Ladakh, so Shahrukh Khan used to sleep on the floor of the bus.
Tigmanshu narrated the story of the film Dil Se
Veteran Bollywood director and actor Tigmanshu Dhulia told Mashable in an exclusive interview that Shah Rukh Khan was a star by then, but he was very humble. Narrating the anecdote, Tigmanshu said, “When we were shooting in Ladakh…with Mani sir, we would just roam around the streets and he would decide that this is where the shoot will take place. So during lunch time, there were no vanity vans or anything. The bus in which we were travelling, the passages between the seats, where people walk, Shah Rukh would sleep on the floor during lunch time.”
Shahrukh Khan used to sleep on the floor in the bus
He further said that Shahrukh used to take a 30-minute nap, but our (crew’s) luggage was kept in the bus, so everyone used to go in and out of the bus. Sometimes people used to cross him to get a jacket or something, but he never objected to this. He never said that he was sleeping and no one could come in. He could have done this, he was the star of that film.
He also narrated the story of the film Zero
Let us tell you, Tigmanshu Dhulia did the dialogue writing in the film Dil Se. After this, Tigmanshu worked with Shahrukh Khan in the film Zero. However, this film was a huge failure. The audience did not love this film. Tigmanshu played the role of Shahrukh’s father in the film. Narrating an anecdote related to this film, Tigmanshu said that during the time of Zero, there used to be many actors on the set and Shahrukh used to respect everyone. He used to lift chairs for everyone. He used to ask them if they had lunch or not. Ending his talk, Tigmanshu said that these are his values.
