Boman Irani, a well-known Bollywood actor, recently shared some insights about his experiences working with Shah Rukh Khan, revealing a surprising, and perhaps humorous, perspective on the superstar's habits. While Irani has consistently praised Khan's charisma, work ethic, and overall personality, he playfully pointed out one area where SRK falls a little short: his culinary adventurousness.
According to Irani, Shah Rukh Khan has "extremely boring" food habits. In a recent interview, Irani revealed that SRK's go-to meal is almost always tandoori chicken, and he doesn't deviate much from that. "Shah Rukh Khan becomes extremely boring. He only eats tandoori chicken and nothing else," Irani stated. This lack of variety, according to Irani, means that SRK doesn't keep him company during meals. While the rest of the crew might be enjoying a variety of dishes, SRK sticks to his tandoori chicken, seemingly unbothered by the culinary temptations around him.
Adding to this, Shah Rukh Khan himself has admitted to preferring simple food. He mentioned that he eats only two meals a day – lunch and dinner – and generally sticks to sprouts, grilled chicken, broccoli, and sometimes dal. Fancy food, he says, isn't really his thing.
Despite this playful jab at SRK's food choices, Irani's comments were filled with admiration and affection for his co-star. He emphasized that SRK is a joy to be around on set, always creating a fun and engaging atmosphere. Irani highlighted Khan's ability to connect with people, make them feel comfortable, and spread joy. He noted that SRK often cracks jokes, often at his own expense, which helps to ease tension and create a positive environment.
Irani also lauded Shah Rukh Khan's understanding and respect for everyone on a film set, especially those who are new to the industry. He feels SRK understands what it is for a person to be doing their first few films in the industry and how one is treated. Hence, Shah Rukh knows that he shouldn't treat a person like a commodity, or as someone supplying something. He recognizes that each person is contributing their talent, art, and being.
Boman Irani has worked with Shah Rukh Khan in several films, including "Main Hoon Na," "Happy New Year," "Don," and "Dunki". He fondly recalls these experiences, emphasizing SRK's positive influence on the entire filmmaking process. Irani considers SRK to be among his top five favorite co-stars, irrespective of SRK's recent hits. He respects him for his tenacity and legacy.
In essence, while Boman Irani playfully calls Shah Rukh Khan "extremely boring" when it comes to food, his overall sentiment is one of deep respect and admiration. He sees SRK as a complete package: a talented actor, an intelligent and empathetic individual, and someone who genuinely cares about the people around him. The "boring" food habits are just a minor, and humorous, quirk in the larger picture of a remarkable personality.
