Smriti Mundhra talks about interviewing Shah Rukh Khan
The Romantics features several Bollywood stars who have been associated with Aditya Chopra, Yash Chopra, and Yash Raj Studios in some part of their career. Shah Rukh Khan features in the web series and talks about his association with YRF Studios. Smriti said about interviewing SRK, “for Shah Rukh Khan we know that his connection with Yash Raj films and Aditya Chopra and Yash Chopra runs very deep. The arc of his career and the trajectory of the studio are the same. But I think what was really interesting was the personal connection that he has particularly with Yash Chopra. He really looked at him like a father figure and he still holds some pain over his passing. It was not just a professional relationship but it was a profound personal relationship they had. I won't spoil anything that he has said in the series but he does extensively talk about the impact of Yash ji in his career but also of Adi in his career.”
