The Academy recently shared a clip of Shah Rukh Khan’s memorable speech from Om Shanti Om on Instagram, highlighting his enduring global stardom. The 2007 film, directed by Farah Khan, remains a celebrated Bollywood classic blending romance, reincarnation, and satire.
We did so much improv in that film. Shah Rukh and I--like that tiger fight scene of his--I died laughing because I had no idea he was going to say 'naughty pussy, naughty pussy, says the filmmaker-choreographer
While “Om Shanti Om”, Deepika's first Hindi release, went on to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film at the time, surpassing “Dhoom 2”, “Saawariya” failed to make a mark at the box office.
During the episode, Farah fondly recalled the time she and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan traveled together by train for the iconic 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' song shoot.
"I have been a huge fan of Deepika since 'Om Shanti Om' and I remember, back when I was working in Dubai, she was coming there for the premiere of 'Karthik Calling Karthik' (2010)..." the actor recalled.
