When Shah Rukh Khan Shot 36 Hours "Straight" For Circus
New Delhi: There are actors and then there is Shah Rukh Khan. There is a reason why fans call him 'King Khan'. Agree? SRK is known for his craft, discipline and dedication. Now, SRK's Circus co-star Renuka Shahane has shared her two cents. She recalled the time when Shah Rukh Khan worked for 36 hours straight for the TV show. Circus aired between 1989 and 1990 on DD National. It featured Ashutosh Gowariker and Sameer Khakhar. Directed by Aziz Mirza and Kundan Shah, the series revolved around the lives of a circus troupe. During a conversation with Filmfare, Renuka Shahane said, 'His [Shah Rukh Khan's] attitude toward work is like that. I've seen him work for 36 hours straight. We had two units on Circus — one managed by Kundan and the other by Aziz — and SRK was in practically every frame of the show. So, I have seen him shooting for 36 hours at a stretch. Yet, not a single wrinkle appeared on his face. He never complained about anything either.' The actress also shared a wonderful piece of advice that Shah Rukh Khan once gave her. She said, 'My character, Maria, had a fear of heights, and so did I in real life. Hence, I was really scared while doing some of my scenes, particularly the ones featuring me getting on the trapeze. We all belong to the same age group, and, at that time, Shah Rukh wasn't a film star. He was already a television star, though. So, after pack-up, we all used to discuss things.' 'I was really scared, especially because I had to shoot with Kundan. Then, Shah Rukh [Khan] came up to me and said, 'Listen, you are an actor. If the director tells you this is a well and asks you to jump, you jump. You shouldn't think about your fear of heights and all,'' Renuka Shahane added. Apart from Circus, Shah Rukh Khan has appeared in various TV shows like Fauji, Doosra Keval, Mahan Kar z and Idiot. The superstar will be next seen in Sujay Ghosh's King. The film will also feature SRK's daughter, Suhana Khan.

Momsome Duo
Music as an art form is known for its universality. If fuelled by passion, its power transcends barriers like race, gender, space and time. Mother and daughter duo, Paromita Ghosh and Roshni Ghosh, exemplify this musical bond, which has taken them to a national stage. Recently, the pair – going by Mom & Me Live – participated in the popular reality show Wah Ustad streaming on DD National, representing Bengaluru and wowing the audience through their melodies. On their performance in the show, the duo notes how their presence as a pair, having auditioned individually, was a delightful surprise. 'The showrunners learnt about us being mother and daughter; they wanted to add a surprise element by calling Roshni on stage. The judges were quite surprised; they asked us about our daily routine and to show a glimpse of our performance. That's how we prepared and presented in front of them,' shares Paromita. Though music was always a significant part of their lives, their journey as a duo began during the pandemic, when they started practising together at home to pass time. 'We had no proper background. We just sat and tried to shoot some small videos for content. But once the pandemic was over, we thought of giving it a shot and creating a band,' recounts Paromita. Interestingly, the two-member band is polyglotic. 'We sing in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Punjabi, and Bengali – despite not being well-versed with the languages when it comes to speaking. But it was a great way to connect with a diverse audience,' says Roshni. What sets them apart is not just their shared passion but their relationship that supports their artistic pursuit. 'We know our strengths and weaknesses which makes work much easier and creates a better ambience and projection on stage,' says Roshni. Paromita adds, 'When we sing individually, we sing for ourselves; when together, we support each other.' Recounting their journey so far, the duo credits it to their family, particularly Roshni's father, Raja, who plays percussion. As Paromita aptly says, 'Roshni's dad is both of our backbone. He is the manager, the director, the costume designer, also the major critic on our musical journeys,' she concludes.
