Shah Rukh Khan Called Deven Bhojani 'Sir' On Dunki Sets, Asked For Permission To Dance With His Wife

Deven Bhojani, who recently starred in Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki, spoke about working with King Khan. He mentioned that the experience brought back memories from when they worked together thirty years ago. According to Deven, Shah Rukh warmly remembered him from that time and greeted him warmly on the Dunki set. Deven Bhojani, who is an experienced actor and director, mentioned that during the filming of Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan started calling him ‘sir,’ making him feel a bit embarrassed.

“He met me so warmly now. I was a little hesitant. I was thinking so many years have passed now and he is such a huge star. We spoke about those old days,” Deven shared. He added, “Earlier, I used to call him Shah Rukh and he called me Deven. On the second day, when we met for the shoot, he started calling me Deven sir. I asked him, ‘Why are you calling me sir?’ He said, ‘The whole unit is calling you Deven sir, I’m the only one who is calling you Deven.’ I said we are of the same age almost plus we have this old equation, you need not call me Deven sir,’” he shared.

Deven Bhojani shared another story from Dunki, revealing that Shah Rukh Khan invited him and his wife to a party and was a warm host. He mentioned that during the event, when a Bollywood garba song played, Shah Rukh asked for his permission to dance with his wife. “He came to my wife and asked me, ‘Sir, is it okay if I dance with your wife if you don’t mind?’ He danced with my wife. She was feeling shy but she danced. It was really cute. When you are such a big star and behaving in such a down-to-earth way, it is something to learn from,” he said.
