As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for Hollywood-esque storytelling, I must say that my admiration for Arjun Rampal continues to grow with every interview and anecdote he shares about his storied career. With over two decades in the industry, this man has seen it all, from playing the antagonist in Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic film, Om Shanti Om, to sharing a bond that transcends their professional relationship.


Arjun Rampal, who recently starred alongside Vidyut Jammwal in Crakk earlier this year, has been a part of the film industry for over two decades. Fans continue to appreciate his menacing portrayal in Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s movie, Om Shanti Om, from years past.

Arjun, who has a strong connection with SRK, not long ago commended the movie icon and reminisced about their initial encounter.

Shah Rukh Khan is brilliant, says Arjun Rampal

In the most recent episode of The Ranveer Show, Arjun Rampal was inquired about his bond with Shah Rukh Khan and their shared knack for profound conversations.

The Om Shanti Om actor shared that SRK has a “tremendous amount of depth“.

“Arjun remarked that the man has had his fair share of experiences, has made significant sacrifices along the way, and possesses an uncanny ability to predict future events. He added that his predictions are nothing short of remarkable.”

Acknowledging King Khan’s remarkable work ethic, the actor stated that one can learn a mix of positive traits from him, such as his admirable qualities, the way he behaves, and his good practices.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d like to share an insight about Shah Rukh Khan: he takes admirable practices and makes them a part of his very essence. In other words, he adopts and embodies excellent habits.

Arjun Rampal’s first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan was a quick one

During the same podcast discussion, Arjun Rampal disclosed that he came to know Shah Rukh Khan because of his ex-wife, model Mehr Jesia. It turns out that Mehr was friends with Shah Rukh’s wife, Gauri Khan.

Regarding their initial encounter, the Rock On actor mentioned they accidentally ran into each other and shared pleasantries.

To put it simply, for those not familiar, Arjun, portraying Mukesh Mehra in Om Shanti Om, came across the script while he was in Shah Rukh Khan’s bathroom. This incident took place during SRK’s New Year’s Eve celebration at his mansion.
