Shah Rukh Khan hasn't changed despite massive stardom

greets him the same way he did years ago. Recalling a recent moment, Tiku shared that his daughter, actor

Oh Darling Yeh Hai India
shoot
Talsania also reminisced about a fond memory from the set of Oh Darling Yeh Hai India, when Shah Rukh had just purchased a red Pajero, considered a luxury car at the time. Tiku, curious to experience it, asked if he could take it for a spin. 'I asked him, 'Sir, ek round maru kya?' and he immediately said, 'Le jaa chabi',' he recalled with a smile. Tiku said it perfectly captured Shah Rukh's generosity and warmth: 'He is that kind of man. He has worked hard to make
Mannat
and reach where he is today.'
The actor also revealed an instance from the set of Devdas, where he played Dharamdas, the loyal driver to Shah Rukh's titular character. During an emotionally charged scene, where Devdas mourns the death of his father, Tiku noticed SRK drinking Old Monk rum on set. Curious, he asked why. Shah Rukh explained that he wanted the alcohol to 'show in his eyes.' Tiku was stunned by the level of dedication. 'He must have had at least a quarter of a bottle. It was so hot, he was sweating—but he gave that scene everything,' he said, admiring Shah Rukh's commitment to his craft.

Krishna's kindness
Unable to bear the atrocities of Kamsa, everyone, from ordinary people to devas, aligned with the goddess of earth, Bhooma Devi, and decided to petition Maha Vishnu in person. At that moment, Vishnu Himself declared through an oracle that He would manifest on earth as Krishna and end Kamsa's cruelty. Overjoyed by this, the devas wanted to know if they should all turn into monkeys and populate Kishkinta country, as they had been advised by Him, ahead of His Rama avatar. An amused Vishnu responded, saying they could take any form they desired, from animate to inanimate, and await Him in Brindavan. They promptly landed on Nandagopal's property, who was astounded by the sudden spurt in the population of his cattle, said Damal Perundevi. Having already chosen His earth parents Devaki and Vasudeva and the foster parents Nandagopa and Yasoda, Vishnu asked Adisesha to precede Him as Balaram, conceived by Devaki, but delivered by Vasudeva's other wife through fetal transfer, while He Himself would arrive as the younger brother. Kamsa, Devaki's brother, celebrated her marriage to Vasudeva in a grand manner, bursting with brotherly love, when an oracle declared that the newly-wed's eighth child would kill Kamsa. An angry Kamsa was about to kill Devaki at once, when Vasudeva intervened and promised to deliver the new borns to him. Appeased somewhat, Kamsa then lodged the couple in a jail. Vasudeva did as promised. When Krishna's time to emerge came about, at midnight in the Tamil month of Avani, on Ashtami, under the Rohini star, Krishna decided to be born with His full regalia. His trademark weapons took on miniature form, the tiny crown glistened on His forehead, replete with peacock feather, and He sported a piece of yellow silk cloth around His waist, while the ankles jangled to the tinkle of bells from the anklet. Why did Krishna bedeck Himself so? It is because He was aware that Devaki would get but a fleeting glance at Him before He was given up. As a mother, the agony of such a parting is immeasurable and out of kindness, He decided that Devaki should get a good look at him, in full splendour.
