Vijay Varma, who gained acclaim for his role in ‘Gully Boy’, has since portrayed several memorable characters, including Hamza Shaikh in the 2022 film ‘Darlings’. This film, featuring Alia Bhatt in the lead, was co-produced by Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions and Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment.
In a recent interview with Mashable India, Vijay opened up about his experience working on a Shah Rukh Khan production and interacting with the superstar. Despite not having acted alongside Khan, Vijay shared that working under his production banner provided multiple opportunities to meet and engage with him.
Vijay Varma on his interaction with Shah Rukh Khan
Vijay praised Khan for his unique ability to make one feel special. He mentioned, “He never makes you feel like you are having a business meeting with him. The conversation always feels personal, and he makes you believe that he only thinks about you the whole day.”
Elaborating on this sentiment, Vijay humorously remarked, “Inke jeevan mein agar koi hai toh woh main hoon, aur ye apni family se bhi baat karte honge mere baare mein, khaate waqt bhi meri hi filme lagaate honge (I am the only one around whom his life revolves, he must be talking about me with his family also, even while having his meal, he must be watching my film).” This, he said, illustrates how Khan makes you feel incredibly special and valued.
Vijay also recounted telling SRK to call him whenever he wanted to talk, highlighting the personal rapport they share.
