Deven Bhojani shares the wonderful experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan in Dunki
Deven Bhojani is known for tickling our funny bones in iconic TV shows like Office Office, Khichdi, Shrimaan Shrimati, and many others. Well, the actor recently shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki. While talking to YouTuber Subhojit Ghosh, the actor opened up about his experience of working with SRK and meeting him after thirty years.
The Scoop actor said that even though decades have passed by since the two worked together, SRK was still warm and welcoming to him. "He met me so warmly now. I was a little hesitant. I was thinking so many years have passed now and he is such a huge star. We spoke about those old days," Deven shared.
He added that while shooting for the movie, the megastar also addressed him as sir. Sharing his conversation with Shah Rukh, Deven said, "Earlier, I used to call him Shah Rukh, and he called me Deven. On the second day, when we met for the shoot, he started calling me Deven sir. I asked him, 'Why are you calling me sir?' He said, 'The whole unit is calling you Deven, sir; I'm the only one who is calling you Deven.' I said we are of the same age almost plus we have this old equation; you need not call me Deven sir,'" the Agneepath actor divulged, adding that it left him red-faced.
Deven Bhojani says Shah Rukh Khan was a wonderful host to them
Further on, in the same chat, the actor-filmmaker also spoke of the incident when he attended the Jawan actor's party with his wife. Along with some other actors and technicians, SRK invited him and his wife. Even though they are among those who stay away from parties, they attended the gala at SRK's insistence. Stating that he was a warm and gracious host to them, he added that Khan took care of them and served them different kinds of food, keeping in mind that they were vegetarians.
Not just that, when a peppy Bollywood garba song was played, the Pathaan actor sought Deven's permission to dance with his wife. "He came to my wife and asked me, 'Sir, is it okay if I dance with your wife if you don't mind?' He danced with my wife. She was feeling shy, but she danced. It was really cute. When you are such a big star and behaving in such a down-to-earth way, it is something to learn from," the Taaza Khabar actor recalled.

"That was very magnanimous of him, very sweet of him," he divulged.
