Dalip Tahil Birthday: When Baazigar actor recalled how Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘besotted’ fan asked why he hit him in film

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for the rich tapestry of Bollywood, I must say that Dalip Tahil‘s journey in the industry is nothing short of captivating. His role in Baazigar was not only iconic but also a testament to his acting prowess.


“Baazigar, a well-loved romantic thriller from Bollywood, features Dalip Tahil as the villain who earned immense praise. On this special day, October 30, 2024, which happens to be his birthday, let’s reminisce about the time when he shared an amusing story: a devoted fan of Shah Rukh Khan once inquired why Tahil’s character beat him on screen.

In an episode of the Untriggered podcast featuring AminJaz, Dalip Tahil discussed portraying unsympathetic characters. He explained that if viewers disliked such a character, it was actually a form of praise because it showed he had acted convincingly enough to make them feel strongly against him.

In the course of our shared passion for the legendary Shah Rukh Khan, let me recount an intriguing incident that took place during my journey at London’s Heathrow Airport. As I was preparing to step into the boarding area, an unforgettable moment occurred when a fan approached me and inquired, ‘Why did you give Shah Rukh Khan such a tough time?’

Tahil conveyed that she was deeply smitten and enamored by Shah Rukh. However, he confided that her declaration left him feeling quite distressed. Furthermore, he disclosed an incident where he mentioned that Shah Rukh had struck him in the movie. He recollected her reaction as, “That doesn’t matter. You were playing the villain. He was expected to attack you. But why did you hurt him like that?

Dalip Tahil pointed out that these issues had a significant effect on many individuals, particularly those considered ‘at-risk’ or ‘susceptible.’

1993 marked the release of the captivating film “Baazigar,” where I, as a lifestyle expert, played the character Ajay Sharma, an intriguing anti-hero driven by vengeance against the business magnate, Madan Chopra, brilliantly portrayed by Dalip Tahil. In my quest for retribution, I skillfully deceived Chopra’s daughters, ultimately aiming to dismantle his family empire.

The film features actors such as Kajol, Shilpa Shetty, Rakhee, and Johny Lever. This marked the initial team-up between SRK and Kajol, who later became one of Bollywood’s most cherished on-screen pairs. “Baazigar” received wide praise for its compelling storyline, suspenseful elements, catchy soundtrack, and captivating acting performances. Additionally, it was a massive hit at the box office.

TopMob wishes Dalip Tahil a very happy birthday!
