Shah Rukh Khan saw Adnan Sami in trouble when freezing winds took over Venice. He quickly planned a sweet rescue
During a commercial shoot in Venice with Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor, singer Adnan Sami recalled how a sudden cold spell left the team unprepared, as they had all packed for summer. Sami, who was dressed in his usual Hawaiian shirts and Bermudas, had no warm clothes. Seeing this, Shah Rukh, who was also producing the ad, went out and bought jackets for him while he rested from jetlag. Sami described the gesture as thoughtful and touching, noting how SRK didn't have to do it but still did.
Shah Rukh Khan and Adnan Sami Singer and composer Adnan Sami recently opened up about a memorable incident involving Shah Rukh Khan during a commercial shoot in Venice, where Kareena Kapoor was also part of the project. Known for his vibrant personality and outspoken views, Sami reflected on how a sudden shift in the weather left the crew unprepared — and how SRK stepped in with an unexpected and thoughtful act.The shoot was originally planned for summer, and all members of the crew, including Sami, had packed accordingly. Adnan, in particular, arrived in Venice with only his usual Hawaiian shirts and Bermudas. However, the weather took a drastic turn, plunging into an unexpected cold spell with rain and strong winds — conditions that caught the team off guard.
Recounting the incident in a chat with Bollywood Bubble , Sami said he had no warm clothes on hand. Shah Rukh, who was not just acting in the commercial but also producing it, noticed Sami's summer attire and expressed concern. Seeing how jet-lagged and tired Adnan was after nearly a day and a half of travel, Shah Rukh asked if he had any winter wear. When Adnan admitted he didn't, he decided to rest, unaware of what was to come next.While Sami slept, Shah Rukh went shopping on his own to get him warm clothing. Adnan recalled being touched when SRK came to his room later and handed over jackets, remarking on the cold weather outside. What struck Adnan the most was that Shah Rukh had taken the time to not only buy the clothes himself but also managed to find the right sizes, which, as Sami pointed out, wasn't an easy task. He described the gesture as incredibly sweet and thoughtful, adding that Shah Rukh didn't need to do it, but the fact that he did spoke volumes about his character.During the interview, Adnan also commented on his wardrobe choice at the time, recalling that the colourful Hawaiian shirts had become part of his style statement. He mentioned that even though his wife disliked them, he embraced the look. He said that his fashion sense reflected his attitude toward life and body positivity — a defiant celebration of self without shame.When questioned about the shirt in the iconic photograph with SRK and Kareena, Sami joked that he had no regrets. 'I was fat, and I said I'm going to make noise about it,' he shared, adding that he wore those shirts with pride and humour, often responding to size-related questions with, 'I eat a lot and enjoy it.'

Original Baazigar script had Kajol's character kill Shah Rukh Khan, reveal Abbas-Mustan: ‘He was an out-and-out negative character'
Shah Rukh Khan's Baazigar was a trailblazing film of its time. At a time when lead actors were focused on playing massy, messiah-like characters, Shah Rukh broke the mould by portraying a cold-blooded killer in Baazigar. In a recent interaction, the film's directors Abbas-Mastan spoke about how they came up with the concept of the film. Admitting that Baazigar's concept was new for that era, Abbas-Mustan shared that although the world saw Shah Rukh's character as a negative one, they viewed him as the hero. Mustan Burmawalla said, 'It was a new concept at that time. We thought of Shah Rukh's character as a hero; he was negative, but he was our hero, and also, you have to understand why he did what he did in the film. For instance, if some character is doing something negative, but in the background he has some good qualities or there is a reason for him to turn negative, then if his character turns negative, that is also okay.' He also revealed that the first draft of the film was entirely different, in which the female lead would eventually kill Shah Rukh's character. He said, 'In the first draft of the film, the hero was an out-and-out negative character who saw a tough childhood as his father would be a drunk, and he would beat his mother, and the kid would grow up wishing that he would become rich one day. After growing up, the character decides to get into a relationship with both daughters of a millionaire and eventually kill one of the daughters to take over the millionaire's empire. Later, the second girl gets to know about the character's intention and kills him. This was the first draft of the film.' Later, he admitted that they were inspired by movies of filmmakers like Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra and realised that the film wouldn't work without emotions. That's when they decided to give a strong backstory to Shah Rukh's character, which explored his emotional past with his mother, his father's death and his little sister. He said, 'We realised that the film would not work without emotions, and the biggest emotion is the mother and father's.' Mustan shared that he informed the producer about the change in the storyline to incorporate an emotional arc and took time from him to work on the film's new version. 'Screenplay was the most important aspect of Baazigar.' Baazigar follows the story of Shah Rukh Khan's character, Ajay Sharma, who seeks revenge against business tycoon Madan Chopra for destroying his family. As part of his plan, he seduces Chopra's daughters, murders one, and, after falling for the other, dies in a violent confrontation.
