Meet actress who was hurt by Shah Rukh Khan, later became his close friend, but her career was ruined after…, she is….
Shah Rukh Khan aka King of Bollywood knows his ways to woo the audience. The actor who started his journey from a humble background is today India's most loved star. Also called the Romance King, the actor is not just admired by his fans, but various other actors are also his fans. From Deepika Padukone and Divya Dutta to Varun Dhawan and more, stars all across Indian cinema have praised the actor. Among these actors, there is one star who adores SRK, and she is Deepshikha Nagpal. Deepshikha shared the screen with SRK in Rakesh Roshan's 1997 film, Koyla. Just like many others, Deepshikha was also excited to share screen space with SRK. Recently, in an interview with Instant Bollywood, the actress shared her experience. However, all her happiness and excitement went in vain and she returned with a heavy heart after her first day of shoot. In the interview, Deepshikha said, 'My first scene was that I am dying in his arms. So I was nervous wondering how it would happen. When Shah Rukh came, he was smoking. So Rakesh ji came in and said, 'Do you know Deepshikha?' He said, 'She is a fantastic actress.' Rakesh ji was very impressed with me.' However, Deepshikha expected a pleasant reaction from SRK on Rakesh Roshan's comment, but what happened was completely opposite. SRK had an unexpected response, which left the actress hurt. She said, 'Shah Rukh said, 'Yeah, let's see.' It hurt my ego. He was so rude. I was like, 'This is Shah Rukh. I love him.' Then I took it as a challenge.' What started on a rough note slowly turned into a mutual bond. Though Deepshikha and SRK were not close friends, the actor often admired Nagpal for her dedication towards work, so much so that he even referred her name when popular director duo Abbas-Mustan was making Baadshah. Despite soaring high in her career, Deepshikha's graph declined after she featured in B-grade movies.
