Overview

  • Jhangiani says Shah Rukh Khan would sit on the floor with spot boys and chat about their lives, with no special chair set aside for him.
  • She recalls struggling to lip‑sync to the song ‘Soni Soni’ until Khan told her to actually sing loudly, after which the take was cleared.
  • According to her, he never acted like a distant star and offered guidance in a way that felt collaborative rather than prescriptive.
  • She contrasts his grounded behavior with experiences on later sets where some big names kept their distance.
  • The remarks from the Lallantop Cinema interview were carried by The Indian Express18News18, and India Today as a fresh snapshot of Mohabbatein’s launchpad legacy.
