Actor Asif Khan got his break with the Panchayat series after playing character roles for years. One of them was his shortest role in the 2018 film Pari starring Anushka Sharma in the lead role. Recently, while speaking exclusively on Pinkvilla’s Hindi Rush YouTube channel, Asif recalled a funny incident from the sets of Pari.
Asif Khan told that he came to know about Airpods because of Anushka Sharma
When asked if he met Anushka Sharma during Paatal Lok, a series bankrolled by the actress’ production house, Asif told us, “I met her before Paatal Lok. She had a film Pari in which my character was barely 1.5 seconds long. When we were shooting for Pari, I heard the name of AirPods for the first time because of her.”
The Mirzapur actor further added, “Whenever there was a cut during her scenes, someone would give her pods to put on and I would wonder what she was putting in her ears. So I saw AirPods with her for the first time in my life.” However, Khan shared that he didn’t have much direct communication with the actress even during the filming of Paatal Lok.
