Shah Rukh wrote, “As a young man entering the daunting world of films, I was insecure about the way I looked and afraid that I was not talented enough. The thought of failing meant nothing though, because even if I failed, I would have worked with the greatest actor I knew of - Rishi Sahib. On the first day of the shoot, he sat for my scene to finish after pack up, then with that famously radiant smile on his face he said 'yaar tujhme energy bahut hai!'. That day in my head I became an actor!” (ALSO READ: Hindi Medium Actress Saba Qamar Shares An UNSEEN Video Of Rishi Kapoor Lauding Her; Veteran Wondered Why She's Not In Angrezi Medium)
