Shah Rukh placed his hands carefully while standing with Reha, who stands at 6'1'. In a recent conversation with News18, Reha addressed the viral moment with the Jawan actor. She described him as her favourite star forever and considered the opportunity to share that viral moment an honour. 'I was standing next to him that day in about five-inch heels. I am already so tall, so it was quite intimidating for him.
But for me, I still felt like the little three- or four-year-old who got to meet her idol,' she shared.

Reha acknowledged SRK's sense of humour and added that everyone had fun during his segment at the pageant.
She also recalled their playful banter on stage, when Shah Rukh asked her to share tips on how to become tall like her. In return, he jokingly offered to teach her how to act well. 'Shah Rukh Khan is standing in front of me, asking, 'Give me tips on how to grow taller,' and things like that.
And I'm on national television, 19 years of age, and I say, 'Sorry, but I think you've gone past the age where you can grow any taller.' I just said that as a quick rebuttal.
But he's an extremely good sport—he was very sweet about it,' she stated.

'Mujhe Daant Padi': Amitabh Bachchan Scolded Rajiv Rai For Making Kajol The Killer In Gupt
Director Rajiv Rai recalls Amitabh Bachchan scolding him for making Kajol the killer in Gupt. Director Rajiv Rai's 1997 thriller Gupt left a generation stunned with its shocking twist — Kajol, the film's beloved heroine, was revealed to be the murderer. The bold move to cast a female lead as the villain was considered groundbreaking in Hindi cinema at the time. But not everyone was on board with this twist — including none other than Amitabh Bachchan, who personally questioned Rai's decision ahead of the film's release. In a recent interview on the Ravi Buleiy Official YouTube channel, Rajiv Rai shared a fascinating anecdote about a trial screening of Gupt held in Chennai. Amitabh Bachchan had attended the show and called Rai the very next day. 'He said, 'Rajiv, are you convinced with what you have done in this film? You have made Kajol the killer, are you sure? How can you be so sure?' So in one way, as a senior, he scolded me," Rai said. 'Mere ko daant padi. He is a senior, he can obviously scold me." Rajiv went on to explain that despite Bachchan's doubts, he stood firm in his creative vision, 'He questioned me, 'How are you so confident that this will work?' I told him, 'Sir, I don't have an answer for your questions. It is Wednesday already, please wait for 2 days, you will get your answer.'" As history would have it, Gupt opened to critical and commercial success, and Kajol's performance earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Villain, becoming the first actress to win in that category. Rajiv Rai also recalled his early professional ties to Amitabh Bachchan, having worked as an assistant director on classic films like Trishul and Kaala Patthar, both of which starred the megastar. He revealed that during a challenging phase in Bachchan's career — between 1992 and 1994 — he developed a script with Anees Bazmee specifically for the legendary actor. Despite Rai's high hopes, Bachchan declined the project, 'He said that the phase that I am going through right now, I don't want to do any films. He was not going through a good phase then," Rai said. 'He was confused, and in that confusion, he said no. He is not a confused man but his circumstances were such." The rejection left Rai heartbroken, 'I was like, 'I worked so hard, I was angry with my destiny, not with Amitabh Bachchan. I thought if destiny does not want me to work with Amit ji, I will work with someone new, so I made Mohra with Suniel Shetty." That decision turned out to be career-defining. Mohra, released in 1994, was a major hit, and along with Gupt, cemented Rai's legacy as one of the most daring and successful directors of 1990s Bollywood.

Kelly Osbourne Mourns Dad Ozzy Osbourne's Death, Calls Him Her 'Best Friend'
Kelly Osbourne has broken her silence following the recent death of her dad, Ozzy Osbourne. Kelly Osbourne has lost her 'best friend" following the death of her dad Ozzy Osbourne. The 40-year-old star has taken to social media to share her thoughts following Ozzy's passing on Tuesday (22.07.25), aged 76. Kelly – who released a cover of the Black Sabbath song Changes with her dad back in 2003 – wrote on Instagram: 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had. (sic)" Ozzy performed his last-ever concert at Villa Park in Birmingham earlier this month, and Kelly actually got engaged backstage to Sid Wilson, from the band Slipknot, at the star-studded event. The Back to the Beginning concert also featured appearances from the likes of Metallica, Yungblud and Guns N' Roses. Ozzy's death was announced by his family earlier this week. They said in a statement: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love." The news prompted an outpouring of tributes from some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi. He told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'He loved what he did, he loved music, he loved playing together, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity of getting together again to do the [farewell] show. 'It was brilliant being with all the guys again, and the atmosphere, and it was brilliant for Ozzy because he really wanted to do that, he felt at home there and it was good for all of us." Kiss frontman Gene Simmons also paid a glowing tribute to the late star, describing Ozzy as a 'unique, loveable person". Gene, 75, told the BBC: 'I know that, right now, millions of fans around the world are crying and shocked, and my heart goes out to Sharon and the family and the fans. 'There were no airs about him – he's met kings queens, political leaders, I think it's fair to say there was never an Ozzy Osbourne before Ozzy, and there will be another Ozzy. He was a unique, loveable person." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
