Bollywood actors Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have known each other for more than 15 years now. Ever since her debut with Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om, she has always been vocal about her friendship with the older actor. Now an old video of their fun banter from the 2013 Filmfare Awards has gone viral, which gives the netizens a glimpse of their fun relationship.
It all happened when SRK was hosting the show with Saif Ali Khan. They had called Deepika and Priyanka Chopra on stage to announce the Best Debut Actor Male award. The video starts by Deepika stating that Priyanka was excited to announce the awards as she has been practising how to say it backstage.
