Shah Rukh Khan Had THIS Reaction When Wamiqa Gabbi Told Him She Would 'Cut' Her Wrist
Last Updated:
Wamiqa Gabbi recounted her 'weird' first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan.
Wamiqa Gabbi, known for her Punjabi films and roles in series like Modern Love Mumbai, received a significant career boost when she was cast as one of the leads in Atlee's film Baby John, alongside Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh. This was Atlee's second Bollywood project following Jawan, which starred Shah Rukh Khan. The superstar attended the film's muhurat, marking Wamiqa's first official meeting with him. However, the encounter was not as she had expected.
In a recent interview with Mashable India, Wamiqa Gabbi recounted her first interaction with Shah Rukh Khan. She described the meeting as 'very weird." She and her brother, Hardik, were on the set of Baby John's muhurat when Shah Rukh Khan visited for 15 minutes. The star's presence captivated everyone, and Wamiqa and her brother stood at the back, discussing what to say if Shah Rukh approached them. Hardik jokingly suggested, 'Nas kaat de," and they laughed.
As anticipated, Shah Rukh did come to speak with Wamiqa before leaving. She recalled, 'He said 'okay, bye' and I said, 'It was so nice meeting you, sir, my brother was suggesting I cut my wrist but obviously I won't do that.' Now, as soon as I told this to him, everyone went quiet, and SRK simply left. After he left, a person from the production came running to me and was like, 'Did you just talk about cutting your wrist?' My brother was shocked. I honestly thought SRK would get the humour, but he didn't."
Rajkummar Rao, also part of the interview, shared his experience meeting Shah Rukh Khan at Farah Khan's birthday. They had an extensive conversation about his film, King and Aryan Khan's new show. Shah Rukh also mentioned that he enjoyed Rajkummar's film Stree 2. Meanwhile, Wamiqa Gabbi and Rajkummar Rao will soon be seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf.

Naseeruddin Shah reveals he turned down numerous songs after ‘Oye Oye' became a blockbuster hit: ‘I'm a terrible dancer…'
Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah may be one of India's most revered performers, but his sudden surge to mass popularity came from an unexpected place, an iconic song-and-dance number in the 1989 hit Tridev. The track 'Oye Oye' became a national sensation, and along with it, Naseeruddin found himself in the middle of mainstream adulation. In an old interview with Lehren Retro, the actor candidly spoke about the ironic nature of his overnight fame following the film. Despite becoming the face of the wildly popular song, Naseeruddin revealed that he never saw himself as a dancer—or even a singer, for that matter. He said, 'Infact after song Oye Oye, I was flooded with only offers like that. People wanted me to do the same thing. But I didn't fall into that trap because I'm a terrible dancer. Oye Oye worked because they didn't expect that I would be even able to do one step right. And that's why they were shocked and it worked. Anyways, there is no dearth of people praising you in this industry.' Reflecting on the period when lip-syncing to playback songs was the norm, Naseeruddin shared how uncomfortable the experience was for him. 'Now it has stopped happening, but there was a time when it used to happen a lot. I was asked to sing, and that was equivalent to hundred deaths. I'm really bad at singing, among the worst singers of song in Hindi. Perhaps because I never thought that I would have to play hero in films, or sing songs or worse, romance actresses younger than my daughter's age.' Also Read | Naseeruddin Shah slams 'sickening' Bollywood films that celebrate hyper masculinity: 'Big tragedy if they're considered…' For Naseeruddin Shah, the world of commercial Hindi cinema was never the end goal. His aspirations had always been grounded in realism, in character roles—something that didn't involve elaborate dance routines or lip-synced songs. 'I had thought I would end up becoming a character actor. Will play the role of a lawyer, doctor, cop or an elder brother. And that's why I'm terrible at commercial acting, because I never trained for it.' The actor, known for his brutally honest take on the film industry, went on to admit that he's never been fond of his performances in the commercial space. He has often expressed his disconnect with the formulaic aspects of mainstream cinema. In the same interview, Naseeruddin added that filmmakers began typecasting him into intense, often melodramatic roles. They only imagined him as the actor who could perhaps scream and cry on screen and he was fed up by that and didn't know how to bring novelty to such mediocrity.

Viral Video: Air India Flight Attendant Sings ' In Dino ' For Pritam, Watch His Reaction
Flights are usually about seatbelts, snack trays, and maybe a sleepy movie on the screen. But for passengers on this recent Air India journey, it turned into an impromptu concert at 35,000 feet. It started like any ordinary flight - until someone realised that music legend Pritam Chakraborty was quietly sitting among the travellers. That's when a flight attendant named Rahgir decided to trade the usual announcements for something far more special. In a now-viral Instagram video, a flight attendant, Danish Rahgir, can be seen standing near the cabin, mic in hand, singing 'In Dino' - a song from the 2007 film 'Life in a... Metro', which holds a special place in every Bollywood lover's playlist. But here's the special thing: he sang it right in front of the man who composed it. Pritam's reaction? Heartwarming. He smiled throughout the performance, completely caught in the moment. And as Rahgir finished, the composer clapped and said, "Kya baat hai." The performance clearly meant a lot to the singer, who later wrote, "Ek yaadgar mulaaqat! Mujhe mile legendary music composer Pritam Da, aur unke saamne gaya unka hi iconic gaana. Unka reaction priceless tha!" In the full caption, he shared:"Ek yaadgar mulaqat! Mujhe mile legendary music composer Pritam Da, aur unke saamne gaya unka hi iconic gaana: 'Hai tujhe bhi ijazat, karle tu bhi mohabbat.' Unka reaction priceless tha! Agar aap bhi music aur aviation ke shaukeen hain, to ye moment aapke liye hai." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Danish Rahgir | Travel | Vlogs (@danishrahgir) Fans couldn't stop gushing in the comments. One wrote, "I would cry if I ever got to sing in front of Pritam Da, this is GOLD," while another said, "This just gave me goosebumps at breakfast! What a beautiful moment." Someone joked, "New fear unlocked: forgetting the lyrics mid-air in front of a music legend," while a user cheekily added, "Air India really said in-flight entertainment, but make it emotional!" Others showered Rahgir with love, calling his voice "concert-worthy" and his confidence "next-level." One user quipped, "'Kya baat hai' from Pritam himself? You've made it, bro!" Another added, "This is the kind of content that makes your day better instantly." The comment section was filled with hearts, applause emojis, and fans writing, "Imagine being on that flight - I'd be tearing up mid-air!"
