Shark Tank India's Viraj Bahl recalls shooting ad with Shah Rukh Khan: ‘He was loving, caring, giving in every sense of the word'
Talking about SRK in a podcast, Viraj said, 'I got to work with the legend Shah Rukh Khan for 2-3 days and I got lessons for a lifetime. I don't even know if he remembers who I am now, but I was a fan going in and coming out a 100x fan. He teaches you the success that he's seen with the humility that he has. When he comes on the set, he will know my name, my team's name. He will come and hug us.'

Viraj Bahl also recalled an incident and said, 'He is a legend. So the director listens to what SRK says. Every brand ambassador gives you eight hours for a particular shoot, and our ad shoot had not finished. But the director said wrap and I was like, we were still left, but he said that SRK's time was up. He asked me to go an speak with him and I was literally shaking, but then I went and told him some bit was left to shoot, and he just kept his hand on my shoulder and said we shall continue shooting. That calmed me so much.'
'He was loving, caring, and giving in every sense of the word. I can't tell you how much I have learned in those three days about how to respect people. I don't expect to see the success he has seen in his lifetime, but even if I do half of that and have half the humility that he has, I will consider myself victorious.' Viraj added.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in King along with his daughter Suhana Khan. He also has Tiger vs Pathaan, with Salman Khan, in the pipeline.

Hrithik-Jr NTR's War 2 Is A Colossal Disappointment, Says YRF's Pathaan AD Rajvir Ashar
War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, received mixed reviews. Pathaan Assistant Director Rajvir Ashar called it a 'colossal disappointment' and 'weakest film' of YRF Spyverse. Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2 opened to mixed reviews from the audience. The film opened to great numbers; however, it saw a huge drop in Day 3 collections. Amid a section of the audience criticising the film, Assistant Director Rajvir Ashar, who has worked alongside Siddharth Anand in YRF-backed SRK's Pathaan, has slammed War 2. He called the film a 'colossal disappointment". Rajvir Ashar maintains a private account on Instagram. However, a screenshot of his War 2 review has been going viral on Reddit. Taking to his Instagram story, Ashar posted a photo of a near-empty theatre for War 2 and called it the 'weakest film" of YRF's spyverse. He then wrote, 'This one was just a heartbreaking experience for me. I was rooting for this film and all it did was upset me to no degree! A mid first half is followed by a deplorable and overlong second. Neither did it have enough highs nor was it successful in resonating with me emotionally! The most 'anticipated' day turned out to be a 'colossal' disappointment. Weakest film of the universe!" Take a look: When Rajvir Ashar praised Jawan, took a dig at Adipurush In the past Rajvir Ashar spoke about Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan while taking a dig at Prabhas' Adipurush. Taking to his Instagram story back then, he had written, 'Chills! Literal Chills! To me, this is cinema…peak commercial cinema!!! No 700 cr budget, no 'go watch in 3D instead of phone excuses", just some pure passion! This one is gonna create absolute pandemonium!!! And what do I say about @iamsrk…ufff he's just built different man!" He added, 'No PR, No filthy dialogues, No hate for anyone, No religious bigotry, No propaganda movies. Just pure entertainment to entertain the world! That's SRK for you! Truly 'The Last of the Stars'." Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 is the latest entrant in the YRF Spy Universe. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the high-octane action entertainer released on August 14, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. It clashed with Rajinikanth's Coolie from South, which is doing phenomenally well at the box office by earning Rs 300 crore worldwide in just three days. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

When Shah Rukh Khan said Archana Puran Singh's son had his hair; When Hrithik claimed his eyes
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Years ago, at a lively birthday celebration for Aryan Khan at Shah Rukh Khan 's iconic Mannat residence, Archana Puran Singh experienced a moment that would become one of her favourite anecdotes. As reported by NDTV, attending the party with her family, including her husband Parmeet Sethi and their young sons, Archana found herself in the middle of playful observations from two of Bollywood's biggest stars. Shah Rukh Khan wins his first National Award; celebs and fans celebrate the long-overdue honour 'His hair is exactly like mine' — Shah Rukh Khan Archana recalled that as soon as they arrived, Shah Rukh Khan met her son Ayushmann and immediately commented, 'His hair is exactly like mine.' Without another word, SRK moved on to greet other guests, leaving Parmeet Sethi shooting his wife a curious, almost suspicious glance. The light-hearted moment didn't end there. Moments later, Hrithik Roshan , also at the party, came up to Ayushmann, took a good look at him, and declared, 'His eyes are exactly like mine.' Cue another pointed stare from Parmeet. Family resemblance wins in the end Laughing as she retold the story to Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, who were visiting her home during promotions for 'Son of Sardaar 2', Archana was quick to clarify that despite SRK's and Hrithik's observations, both her sons — Ayushmann and Aaryamann — actually resemble their father, Parmeet Sethi. 'They both look exactly like him,' she said, putting the playful speculation to rest. Mrunal Thakur, hearing the tale for the first time, was left in stitches, while Ajay Devgn smiled knowingly at the familiar mix of celebrity banter and family pride. Meanwhile, 'Son of Sardaar 2' received mixed reviews from the audiences. On the other hand, Hrithik Roshan's 'War 2' has hit the big screens and is doing a decentbox office performance.
