Arjun Rampal: Shah Rukh Khan’s foresight is incredible

Arjun Rampal and Shah Rukh Khan have frequently worked together. They have collaborated on films like Don (2006), Om Shanti Om (2007) and Ra. One (2011). Off-screen too the two actors enjoy a great personal bond.

Arjun recently spoke about SRK at a podcast and praised his qualities. “Shah Rukh has a tremendous amount of depth in him,” he said during a conversation at The Ranveer Show. “He has seen a lot in life too. He has made a tremendous amount of sacrifices. He is brilliant in the way that he can foresee things. His foresight is incredible. He is extremely hardworking too.”

“What you can take from him is… a little bit of everything: good qualities, how he conducts himself, and his good habits. If you can create a lot of good habits that outweigh your bad habits, then you grow in a particular way, and when you keep doing it, you become a natural. Eventually, that becomes your personality. Shah Rukh is very good at converting those great habits into part of his personality,” he added.

Arjun also recalled how he first met Shah Rukh and said it was because his ex-wife Mehr and Gauri Khan are good friends. “We (Shah Rukh and Arjun) just bumped into each other once or twice initially and exchanged greetings,” he said.

Arjun was last seen in Crakk-Jeetegaa…Toh Jiyegaa (2024). He will next feature in Aditya Dhar’s spy-actioner, which also stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan and Akshaye Khanna.
