Chak De India, the 2007 sports drama directed by Shimit Amin, featuring Shah Rukh Khan as Kabir Khan, has become an iconic film, leaving a lasting impact on Indian cinema. Recently, Vidya Malavade, who portrayed India’s captain Vidya Sharma in the film, shared her experience working with SRK. She praised his exceptional memory, describing it as ‘razor sharp,’ and noted that he never forgets anything.

In a recent interview with ETimes, Vidya Malavade spoke fondly of Shah Rukh Khan, saying, "He's someone who doesn't forget anything; his memory is razor sharp." She acknowledged the effort he put into the film, noting that working with 16 women wasn't an easy task. She also expressed gratitude, saying he was the best coach they could have had and that they would always remain his team.

Reflecting on the film, Vidya described Chak De India as a gift that keeps on giving. She mentioned that she had only watched the film once in theaters, taking her parents and family along. After that, the entire team found it hard to revisit the film.

She shared a lighthearted moment when a theater owner invited them to watch it again, but upon arriving, they were mobbed by fans and had to head back home. The actress concluded by saying that the film's enduring success must be due to something they did right, and she expressed gratitude for her parents' blessings.
