SRK KILLED ME

[Life between overs @OversLife]

Remember Dil Se, the Mani Ratnam classic that gave us the unforgettable Chaiyya Chaiyya?

During its shoot in freezing Dalhousie, Shah Rukh Khan did something that his co-star Mita Vashisht would remember for the rest of her life.

She was just seconds away from falling off a steep ridge. And what happened next had nothing to do with the script.

Mita was carrying an AK-47 and guiding a blindfolded Shah Rukh through a sequence. She was standing behind him when director Mani Ratnam repeatedly instructed everyone to move backwards.

The actors had been given shoes with plastic soles, making it difficult to feel the ground beneath their feet.

Following the instructions, Mita kept taking tiny steps backwards. Suddenly, she realised she had reached the edge of a steep ridge and was falling.

Shah Rukh reacted in a split second.

He grabbed the front of her jacket and pulled her back to safety. Mita later said that the weight of the gun and the steep slope could have made the fall extremely dangerous. She genuinely believed his quick reflexes had saved her life.

And this wasn't the only time SRK looked out for her during the shoot.

Mita also recalled an intense six-minute fight sequence between them that was eventually removed from the film. Whenever Shah Rukh had to push her against a stone wall, he would instinctively place his palm behind her head to protect her from getting hurt.

In one instance, a stone accidentally slipped from Mita's hand and caused a small cut on Shah Rukh's head. Even then, he remained affectionate towards her.

Mita shared these memories in a recent interview with SCREEN, describing Shah Rukh as a warm, protective and wonderful co-star.

Some of the most memorable moments from a film happen truly far away from the camera. ❤️

We are so doomed that instead of being concerned about the pathetic law & order situation in Mumbai, a big listed company thinks it’s “funny”.

Twitter people want SRK to do mature lovestory with Tabu, which even they’ll watch after pirating. Leftists want him to kiII himself by speaking out against B** and become a martyr like Bhagat Singh, just so they can farm 100 RTs by tweeting about his bravery for 2Rs relevancy.

This was the scene outside Shah Rukh Khan’s house last night. Police wouldn’t even let fans get close to his home because apparently Narendra Modi and Amit Shah can’t ensure the security of India’s biggest stars.

Happy birthday @iamsrk Sir ❤️ The whole world is celebrating you today, and I just want you to know how much I love you. You are, without a doubt, the best man God has ever created. Love you always.

There is a reason he has left this platform and it’s not all political.

[Jigar @jigartwits]

From morning to evening, all they've done on the man's birthday is to taunt him. One really can't understand what kind of fans these are, who care about nothing but their own expectations. There's absolutely no satisfaction in anything for them. Disgusting people.

[Bhoot @amritaTheBhoot]

Fans were there since yesterday; there were police kicking them out
Everyone knew he is not inside
Everyone knew the house is getting renovated
Everyone knew there is a security threat & he might never come.
Still they were there.
& our man understood that. #HappyBirthdaySRK

No Matter How Far We Go, This One View Gives Us Peace!

The KING Is Not Just A Star, He's An Emotion! 🩷
