Superstar Shah Rukh Khan celebrates his 60th birthday today. While it’s a day of celebration for fans, his colleagues from the film industry have also been showering him with love. One of his co-stars, Juhi Chawla, recently revealed that Shah Rukh has a remarkable ability to convince anyone to do anything. She also recalled being surprised to find him cast opposite her in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman.
Talking about working with Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi told HT, “When I first signed Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Vivek Vaswani (the film’s co-producer) told me my hero looks like Aamir Khan. So I was in for a shock when I saw Shah Rukh with hair up to his eyebrows and not the chocolate boy I had imagined. Once I started working with him, I realised he was not like a newcomer at all; he worked relentlessly, doing three shifts a day. During the shoot of Yes Boss, I remember, if a scene was not written up to the mark, Azizji (Aziz Mirza, director) would say, ‘Let Shah Rukh come, he will make it all work out well.’ Scenes that were a mix of romance and fun worked best for us, and we went on to do many films together.”

Juhi Chawla went on to share how Shah Rukh Khan has an exceptional knack for convincing others. “He has a way with words and can convince you to do anything. I remember being unsure about Duplicate because I had nothing much to do in it. We were shooting another film, and I remember SRK making me sit on the steps and convincing me for two hours that I should sign the film. He can convince you to do anything, so one has to be careful.”
Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla have worked in films like Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Duplicate, Yes Boss, Bhootnath and One Two Ka Four, among others.
