Sharing a fun story from the set of My Name Is Khan, Karan revealed Sidharth and Varun would distribute pictures of Shah Rukh among fans who surrounded the shoot area in Los Angeles.
Karan said, "I will never forget the day we were shooting in Los Angeles where there was a crowd of people hounding Shah Rukh Khan. But they had no access to Shah Rukh Khan, so guess who was giving photographs on the side to the fans. Suddenly I turn around, he is taking photographs with the girls. Were you really bataoing Shah Rukh's pictures?"
Sidharth added, "Varun was like you want a picture with Shah Rukh, they got wow excited." Defending himself, Varun shared, "Sid was also taking pictures, he picked up two three numbers also there. All the goris."
