Work with SRK: Baazigar

What does she say?

What can I say about Shah Rukh? I think his greatest achievement is the energy, effervescence
and youthfulness he brought to the Hindi screen. Though I never thought him to be a great actor
(say in the class of Aamir or Naseer), his energy is unparalleled and his sex appeal
unselfconscious. This, coupled with a natural intelligence and breeding, make him exciting to
watch on screen. He's like the guy one would have known in college or in one's own
neighbourhood. I also believe that Shah Rukh's greatest asset is his wife, Gauri. As for my experience of working with him, it was all right. Like all newcomers, I was nervous and insecure. And like all stars on the ascent, he was rather self-absorbed. So, other than
our scenes, we did not have too much of an interaction. But it was pleasant enough,
nevertheless.

 I think Shah Rukh is a god-send star. He has made the hero accessible to the middle class. He is a perfect combination of angel and demon, of sensitivity and ruthlessness, and his talent lies in the fact that he's able to bring these contradictory qualities on to the screen. He is every woman's favourite star. Whenever I have met him over the years, I find in his bearing a dignity that is very attractive.
