Shah Rukh Khan never runs out of ways to charm and woo the ladies. The Bollywood heartthrob always manages to make a lady swoon and in a recent special interview, he did the same with Deepika Padukone.
During a Lux Golden Divas ‘Baatein with the Baadshah’ event, Shah Rukh was reading out a letter to Deepika from her mother, Ujjala, when she broke down though smiling through it all.
Shah Rukh wiped the tears from her cheeks and eyes as she held his hands. In the letter, Ujjala had written that she was proud of her daughter and the achievements she has made in her work. She also wrote about Deepika’s childhood when she used to be a tomboy and how well she is managing her private life.
The last few weeks have been hard on Deepika considering the backlash she has received by several Hindu groups against her upcoming film, Padmavati. Politicians have put bounties on her head, protesters have burned her effigies and several states have banned the film before its release, over speculations that the film shows 14th-century Rajput queen Padmavati in an inappropriate light.
Shah Rukh and Deepika have starred together in three films, Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Happy New Year. The first was also her debut film in Bollywood.
