Shah Rukh Khan Opens Up On Working With Deepika Padukone In King, Admits He Is 'Excited' Too

It is no secret that Shah Rukh Khan will soon be collaborating with Deepika Padukone once again for his upcoming movie – King. While everyone is eagerly waiting to watch their favourite stars reunite on screen, a social media user also asked SRK about the same during his recent ‘Ask SRK’ session on X (formerly Twitter). On Thursday, when Shah Rukh Khan conducted an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on X, one of the fans talked about King and wrote, “So excited to see you and DP together again.” To this, the Bollywood superstar responded by saying, “Me too haha.” Deepika Padukone Begins King Shoot In September, Deepika took to her Instagram handle and shared exciting news about reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan for King. She dropped a picture showing their hands clasped together and wrote, “The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming Om Shanti Om was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success. I couldn’t agree more and have applied that learning to every decision I’ve made since. And that’s probably why we’re back making our 6th movie together?” What Do We Know About King? Shah Rukh Khan’s King will also star Suhana Khan in the lead. Munjya star Abhay Verma will also play a key role in the film. Details about the film’s plot are not known as of now. Previously, at the Locarno Film Festival, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about King and said, “It is an action drama, it’s a Hindi film. It’ll be interesting. I’ve been wanting to do a film like that for some time, and I really wanted to do a film like this for seven, eight years. We just felt Sujoy would be the right choice, because we wanted it to be very emotionally correct. We are all coming together to make a cool, massy, action, emotional film.” Later, during an event in Abu Dhabi, SRK added, “I will be shooting it for a couple of months. My director, Siddharth Anand, is very strict. He made Pathaan also. He has asked me not to reveal what we are doing. I can’t tell you but I can assure you that it will be entertaining. You will enjoy it.”

This Actress Once Worked With Amitabh Bachchan And Rajesh Khanna, But Then She Disappeared. Guess Who?

Fearless. Fiery and far ahead of her time, an actress who didn’t just perform but lived every character she portrayed. Her presence on screen was not loud, yet it stayed with the audience for a long time after the credits rolled. In an era ruled by glamour and commercial success, she chose realism and every role she played carried truth, strength and soul, making the audience pause and just feel. That woman was none other than Smita Patil, the actress who turned storytelling into an art form. Her choices changed the trajectory of Indian cinema forever. Smita’s journey began with Shyam Benegal’s Charandas Chor in 1975, and in just over a decade, she redefined what acting truly meant. In the year 1982, she proved her versatility with roles in Arth, Umbartha, and Bazaar to Namak Halal, Shakti, and Dil-e-Nadaan. Throughout her career, she worked with many superstars, including Amitabh Bachchan, with whom she worked in Namak Halaal. Later, she worked with Rajesh Khanna in numerous films. The actress’s initial five years were dedicated to parallel films when she mastered the craft of nuanced storytelling. Later, she transitioned to mainstream cinema and her film Aakhir Kyon? proved that her acting could effortlessly bring depth and authenticity to any popular film. In this movie, she shared the screen with stalwarts like Rajesh Khanna and Rakesh Roshan, yet her performance was so natural and commanding that it became the centre of attention. Smita Patil plays Nisha in the film, the devoted wife of Rakesh Roshan, whose cousin, played by Tina Munim, soon becomes the unexpected storm in her peaceful life. What begins as a perfect marriage shatters when Tina re-enters their lives to help the pregnant Nisha but old chemistry between Rakesh and Tina resurfaces, leading to a secret affair that crushes Nisha. Devastated but unbroken, Nisha walks away from her marriage after giving birth and with the support of Rajesh Khanna’s character, discovers her voice as a writer and earns fame through her bestselling novels. In the end, Nisha’s resilience and grace define her victory as she offers help without losing self-respect, choosing peace. Her journey reflects a form of feminism that isn’t loud or rebellious, yet is deeply powerful and transformative.

Dhanashree Verma 'Repented' Supporting Ex-Husband Yuzvendra Chahal Even When He Was Wrong

Dhanashree Verma has once again opened up about her separation from Yuzvendra Chahal. The choreographer, who is currently a part of Rise and Fall, was recently seen interacting with her co-contestant Arbaaz Patel, when she mentioned that she had supported the Indian cricketer even when he was wrong. Dhanashree spoke to Arbaaz after his girlfriend, Nikki Tamboli, who recently graced Ashneer Grover’s show, expressed her strong dislike towards Dhanashree. “I couldn’t sleep the whole night, just kept crying, I didn’t feel good about a lot of things. It has been very difficult for me to do this show. I know, a person like me who has gotten so much hate from outside, her friend is hated on the show, and I still stood by you. I never said anything other than how I have been asking you to mend your ways. You are my friend and will stay that,” Dhanashree told Arbaaz. She then got emotional recalling her past with Chahal and added, “I must have behaved differently for a day or two, but that was for my safety. Everyone asked me to maintain a distance from you. The least I deserved from Nikki was a thank you. I have put more effort into this friendship than necessary, but I want to step back because I have justified myself too much. I don’t want to do this. I have done this in my life, even when my partner was wrong, I supported him, and then I repented it, so I don’t want that repeated,” Verma added. When Dhanashree Alleged Chahal Was Cheating On Her Dhanashree has often talked about her former husband, Chahal, on Rise and Fall. In one of the recent episodes too, she opened up about their relationship, revealing details of their engagement, marriage, and eventual split. Speaking to actor Arjun Bijlani, Dhanashree shared, “It was love and arranged both. It started off as an arranged marriage. Basically, he wanted to get married without dating, and I wasn’t even planning for anything like that.” She said Chahal was sure about her from the beginning, while she needed convincing. “I got convinced due to the amount of love that was poured into the whole process. We did our Roka (engagement) in August, and then we got married in December. During that time, I travelled with him, and we stayed together. I started seeing subtle changes in his behaviour. There is a difference between how people act when they want something compared to when they get it.” Despite noticing those changes, Dhanashree said she tried to make things work. “Even though I saw him changing, I put my trust into him and the relationship. My problem is that I love giving too many chances to the people around me. But eventually, I got done with it. I tried to do everything I could from my side and give my hundred per cent. I’ll always be concerned for him; that much I can guarantee.”
