Kyunki na mujhe Hindi aati thi na acting. Toh maine jo bhi seekha us process mai Shah Rukh se bahut kuch seekhne ko mila mujhe kyunki he was a theatre actor. (Neither I could speak Hindi nor I was a good actor. So during that process, I learned a lot from Shah Rukh Khan).

I think people who have worked with Salman can only understand what I am talking about)."
