Shark Tank India's Viraj Bahl recalls shooting ad with Shah Rukh Khan: ‘He was loving, caring, giving in every sense of the word'
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's humility has often been praised by those who've worked with him. Recently, Veeba founder Viraj Bahl echoed similar sentiments while recalling his experience shooting an advertisement with the Jawan actor. Viraj, who also appeared as a judge on Shark Tank India, shared that he learned 'lessons of a lifetime' from Shah Ruk.
Talking about SRK in a podcast, Viraj said, 'I got to work with the legend Shah Rukh Khan for 2-3 days and I got lessons for a lifetime. I don't even know if he remembers who I am now, but I was a fan going in and coming out a 100x fan. He teaches you the success that he's seen with the humility that he has. When he comes on the set, he will know my name, my team's name. He will come and hug us.'

Viraj Bahl also recalled an incident and said, 'He is a legend. So the director listens to what SRK says. Every brand ambassador gives you eight hours for a particular shoot, and our ad shoot had not finished. But the director said wrap and I was like, we were still left, but he said that SRK's time was up. He asked me to go an speak with him and I was literally shaking, but then I went and told him some bit was left to shoot, and he just kept his hand on my shoulder and said we shall continue shooting. That calmed me so much.'
'He was loving, caring, and giving in every sense of the word. I can't tell you how much I have learned in those three days about how to respect people. I don't expect to see the success he has seen in his lifetime, but even if I do half of that and have half the humility that he has, I will consider myself victorious.' Viraj added.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in King along with his daughter Suhana Khan. He also has Tiger vs Pathaan, with Salman Khan, in the pipeline.
