Himani Shivpuri reminisces working with SRK in “DDLJ”

Renowned actress Himani Shivpuri, who has shared screen space with a lot of stars in Bollywood, once recalled working with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’. Over an interview, the veteran actress shared how Khan gave her cues even when he wasn’t part of the scene. She stated that was the reason the scene turned out to be beautiful. Here’s what she said.

In a recent interview interview, Himani opened up on the scene from ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ when the saree vendor visits her character’s home. In the scene, she tries out the sarees, and SRK’s character, Raj, comes near her room and lets her know which one of them is good.

Talking about the same, she stated that her and SRK’s shots are “totally separate.” The veteran actress added that it included just her and the saree vendor. She further shared that Shah Rukh, at that time, was emerging as a big star and had come from Delhi theater.

She recalled, she remembers Shah Rukh was giving her all the reactions and further went on to state that when she was checking out the sarees, SRK was standing at a distance, even though he had a separate scene. She said, “That’s a separate shot, and he gave her all the cues.

The actress expressed, “Where they had, but won’t name the actors, who weren’t there to give the cues, and when they gave cues, they gave such idiotic cues that it’s better that they don’t give the cues.

Himani Shivpuri further added that Shah Rukh was this “amazing actor; he was giving all the cues, even when he wasn’t in the scene. So that’s why she thinks that scene has came out so beautiful.
