\"Shekhar Shah Rukh Khan<\/a> has often been praised for his kindness and generosity, with many from the film industry sharing memorable experiences of his thoughtful gestures. While he’s known for his chivalry with women, the actor also shares a great bond many of his male colleagues. One of the recent example of that is how SRK was holding pregnant Deepika Padukone’s hand on the staircase and the internet couldn’t stop gushing over his grace and kindness. Many actors who have worked with him have good things to say. Adding to that list, Shekhar Suman<\/a> recently recalled an incident that reflects the superstar\u2019s considerate nature.Shekhar shared how he was approached for a voiceover in Chalte Chalte. He said during a chat with Bollywood Hungama, \u201cI remember when Shah Rukh was making Chalte Chalte and he needed my voice for the commentary in the film. So when the teaser came, he called me up directly after that, \u2018Hi, it\u2019s Shah Rukh.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Yeah, Shah Rukh.\u2019 He said, \u2018I would want you to come and give your voiceover for this.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ll come.\u2019 So I just went across and did that.\u201dHe further revealed how Shah Rukh insisted on compensating him despite their friendship. \u201cAnd, he sent me a big cheque. And I said, \u2018Look, this is between two friends, you know, this is not for money at all.\u2019 But he wouldn\u2019t listen. Shah Rukh being Shah Rukh, he sent me a very expensive watch the next time, which I still have. And, it\u2019s a beautiful memento.\u201dShekhar also spoke about a missed opportunity to collaborate with Shah Rukh in Devdas. In an earlier conversation with Instant Bollywood, he said, \u201cSanjay Leela Bhansali<\/a> had offered me the role of Chunnilal in Devdas but I couldn\u2019t do that at that time. Then Jackie Shroff was cast in the role and it\u2019s good that he did that role. But I had that regret in my life that I couldn\u2019t work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali but my wish has been granted in Heeramandi.\u201dOn the work front, Shekhar Suman was last seen in the web series Heeramandi, while Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for his upcoming action film King, directed by Siddharth Anand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shah Rukh Khan has often been praised for his kindness and generosity, with many from the film industry…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597252,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,75,8249,337,35313,8246,119215,242059,242057,242056,242058,8245],"class_list":["post-652256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-jackie-shroff","tag-movies","tag-sanjay-leela-bhansali","tag-shah-rukh-khan","tag-shah-rukh-khan-deepika-padukone","tag-shah-rukh-khan-kindness","tag-shah-rukh-khan-upcoming-films","tag-shekhar-suman","tag-shekhar-suman-voiceover","tag-siddharth-anand"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
