Shalin Bhanot Recalls Meeting Shah Rukh Khan: 'He Was Shooting At That Time...'
Shalin Bhanot featured on Farah Khan's YouTube show, where the two discussed SRK, Bigg Boss and gorged on soya chaap.
Actor and former 'Bigg Boss 16" contestant Shalin Bhanot recalled meeting Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, while having a conversation with Farah Khan. He also spoke about Salman Khan and tagged him as a 'caring person".
Shalin featured on Farah Khan's YouTube show, where the two discussed about the stars, Bigg Boss and gorged on soya chaap. While giving a house tour to Farah, Shalin showed a picture posing with SRK and said: 'I take a lot of pride in this picture. It is with Shah Rukh sir… I just wanted to meet Shah Rukh sir… So, Morani bhai made me meet SRK sir in the JW Marriott."
Shalin revealed at that time SRK was busy shooting for the 2016 film 'Fan", which featured the superstar in a dual role as Aryan Khanna, a film star, and his obsessive fan and lookalike, Gaurav Chandna. 'He was shooting at that time and he was crossing. He was shooting for Fan. He had a prosthetic at that time so this was the only day he didn't have any prosthetics," Shalin told Farah.
Farah then spoke about seeing Shalin on 'Bigg Boss 16." She said: 'I thought that Shalin has grown up. But when I saw him in Bigg Boss. Two people can drive me crazy. One is Sajid. Because he is my brother since childhood. And in Bigg Boss, I thought of shaking up Shalin and asking him what he is doing."
To which, Shalin replied: 'But ma'am, one thing happened in Bigg Boss. Sajid came into my life. He is my mentor. I call him BB."
Farah said that Sajid Khan and Shalin 'had a lot of fights in Bigg Boss".
'And ma'am, you won't believe, since the day Bigg Boss ended I am telling you the truth. It doesn't happen once in a week or 10-15 days. That Sajid doesn't message me from the front. Sajid only says one thing 'You okay?' I say, yes, BB. BB is bade bhaiya," Shalin added.
Shalin and Farah then laughed about the viral hand gestures the actor used to do in Bigg Boss at the time of Weekend Ka Vaar in confusion. The actor recalled how the show's host Salman Khan still does it when he sees Shalin. 'Salman sir was coming from a distance. And I was standing. And the moment he entered, he saw me and he was like (doing the hand gesture)…. I said, 'when do I do this?'"
Farah said that Salman used to love doing that. Shalin replied: 'And he still does. He still loves doing that…. But Salman sir loves me a lot and he is such a caring person."

Shahid Kapoor's Next To Clash With Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar And Prabhas's The Raja Saab?
The report mentions that the makers of Shahid Kapoor's next has no intention of altering the film's release, setting the stage for a massive three-way showdown. A high-voltage box office clash is likely to happen at the box office in December this year. The makers of Shahid Kapoor's next have reportedly decided to stick to the original release date of the upcoming film, despite major competition from Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar and Prabhas' much-anticipated The Raja Saab. There is no intention of altering the film's release, setting the stage for a massive three-way showdown. Times Now has quoted the Bollywood Hungama report, which mentions that there is no change in the release date of Shahid Kapoor's next. The portal reported a source close to the development as saying, 'It was the makers of Shahid Kapoor's next that took the December 5 slot first. The filming is going on at a steady pace and the film has shaped up well. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is confident of the product and doesn't feel the need to move from the date that he was the first one to reserve." But still an official confirmation is awaited. On Ranveer Singh's birthday, the makers dropped first look of Dhurandhar. The actor, in long hair and a smoke in his mouth, kills and beats in style, like it's no task. With upbeat music in the backdrop, the film offers a glimpse into the violence and gore in store. Apart from Ranveer, makers have also dropped first looks of the film's other leading cast, comprising Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna. Arjun Rampal, who is one of the key characters in the film, looked intriguing in a never-seen-before rugged avatar, sporting a golden tooth, vintage metallic shades, dense grey beard and classic raw expressions. The film's leading leady, Tamil actor Sara Arjun, was also introduced. The release of Dhurandhar was also unveiled – December 5, 2025. Coming to Prabhas's horror comedy, The Raja Saab, the film teaser was also released recently. The teaser begins by introducing fans to a haunted mansion, soaked with dark secrets from the past. As sinister energy and spirits lurk in the night, Prabhas takes it as a mission to wipe out the evil. The teaser consists of all the crucial elements of a Prabhas film – there's a massy entry, dance, dialogues, and the actor perfectly balancing action with comedy. One of the show-stealers from the Hindi version of the teaser has to be Prabhas asking Nidhhi whether she's ever fallen in 'Shah Rukh Khan wala pyaar". The Raja Saab is produced by People Media Factory and Viswa Prasad. The film is set to release on December 5, 2025, in five languages – Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Directed by Maruthi, the film's music is composed by Thaman S. First Published: July 23, 2025, 07:23 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
