John Abraham recently revealed in an interaction of the time when Shah Rukh Khan gifted him a bike after the success of Pathaan last year. John played the antagonist in the action-thriller which was headlined by Shah Rukh and also starred Deepika Padukone alongside him.
During a conversation with Zakir Khan on the TV show Aapka Apna Zakir, John recalled, “My last film Pathaan was with him. I remember there was a success party after the film's release, and Shah Rukh was like, ‘Come on John, let’s party! Apni picture chal rahi hai. Achha opening mila hai. Maine bola nahi mujhe sona hai. ‘Kya, sona hai?’ ‘Haan, mujhe sona hai.’ Toh unhone bola kya chahiye tumhe? Maine bola ek motorcycle de do bas. Toh unhone mujhe motorcycle gift ki. Main khush ho ke gaya ghar. (Our film is doing well; it's got a good opening. I said no, I have to sleep. ‘What, you want to go to sleep?' ‘Yes, I want to go and sleep.' So, he asked me, ‘What do you want?’ I said just gift me a motorcycle. So, he gifted me one. I went home happy)”.
Earlier during a chat on The Ranveer Show, John had shared the experience of working with Shah Rukh. He had revealed that the superstar was one of the judges during a modelling competition that John was a part of. He had called Shah Rukh, ‘extremely smart, intelligent man’ during the interaction.
John was recently seen in the Independence Day release, Vedaa which also starred Sharvari and Abhishek Banerjee in pivotal roles. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh’s last theatrical release was Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki.
