Siddhant Chaturvedi, who recently impressed audiences with his performance in Yudhra, revealed some heartwarming stories about his interactions with Bollywood legends Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. During a candid interview, the rising star opened up about these memorable moments that left a lasting impact on him.
After the success of his breakout film Gully Boy, Siddhant attended a party hosted by director Zoya Akhtar. It was here that he experienced an unforgettable surprise. “I was at Zoya’s house, and someone held my hand. I turned around and they kissed my hand, and said, ‘You have done such great work.’ It was Shah Rukh Khan,” Siddhant recalled. He described the surreal moment of meeting the superstar for the first time in person, with Shah Rukh showering him with compliments.
Siddhant also shared another exciting encounter with Shah Rukh Khan at a restaurant. While he was enjoying time with friends at Soho House, he bumped into the superstar, who graciously invited Siddhant and his friends to his iconic home, Mannat. Recalling the incident, Siddhant said, “Shah Rukh sir asked me, ‘What are you doing later?’ I said ‘nothing,’ and he invited me and my friends to Mannat.” He added that Shah Rukh’s warm words, “Woh launde hain toh hum bhi jawan hain,” made the moment even more special.
Siddhant had another tearful encounter, this time with Salman Khan, during the promotion of his film Bunty Aur Babli 2 on Bigg Boss. Recalling the emotional moment, Siddhant said, “I went up on stage and started crying because before going on, Salman sir praised me a lot. He wasn’t even telling me directly that I do good work, but he told Rani Mukerji that I will go ahead in life. That really touched me.”
Siddhant Chaturvedi said that his experiences with Bollywood’s biggest stars continue to inspire him as he makes his mark in the industry.
