Sushmita Sen is one of the most popular actresses of Bollywood. Her filmography has many impressive titles, some of which she has worked with Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. Today, on the special occasion of the Main Hoon Na star’s 49th birthday on November 19, 2024, let’s revisit the moment when he described Shahrukh and Salman in one word.
In an old interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sushmita Sen was asked to describe Shahrukh Khan in one word. In response, the actress said, “Aashiqui (love).” For her co-star Salman Khan in films like Biwi No. 1 and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Sushmita said, “Dosti (friendship).” He also called filmmaker Farah Khan “jigar (close to his heart)”.
Sushmita Sen’s Miss Chandni in Main Hoon Na is one of her most favorite roles. Her chemistry with Shahrukh Khan was also the highlight of the film. Earlier in 2024, in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, the former Miss Universe was asked about her experience working with SRK in the film Masala.
Sushmita shared, “Yes, he is a king, definitely a king. He is not only an amazing human being and actor, but he also takes care of people. What you have heard about him is absolutely true; He is a person with a big heart. He is a good, humble and God fearing person. He is a king.”
Main Hoon Na also starred Amrita Rao, Zayed Khan, Suniel Shetty, Kirron Kher, Kabir Bedi and others. Directed by Farah Khan and produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, the film was released in 2004. In the film, Shahrukh played the character of Major Ram, who is sent on an undercover mission to a college in Darjeeling. There he falls in love with Chandni and also gets a chance to meet his estranged family.
