Although many people connect Fauji with Shah Rukh Khan’s initial acting role, not many know that his first project was the TV series Dil Dariya. Recently, veteran actor Veerendra Saxena, who portrayed Khan’s on-screen father in this show, shared memories of working with him in Dil Dariya. He mentioned that Shah Rukh often drove him to set in his white Maruti and commented, “Even today, he holds me in high regard.
During a recent chat with Friday Talkies, Virendra Saxena reminisced about Shah Rukh Khan, saying he’s been more like a son to him. He traced their bond back to their first collaboration on the TV show “Dil Dariya,” where Virendra portrayed SRK’s fatherly figure.
He shared that the actor from Jawan, known for his generosity, frequently drove him to filming locations in his white Maruti car during shoots, which were situated near the Qutub Minar.
Besides discussing their collaboration on Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Virendra mentioned that, given the extensive work history they shared by the film’s commencement, he viewed Khan more as a young protégé rather than just a colleague.
Virendra recalled the time they filmed together in Goa, which marked his initial encounter with the city. It was during this visit that Shah Rukh made Virendra’s day by introducing him to Gauri Khan. What came as a shock to Virendra was learning that the renowned actor had already tied the knot, as he wasn’t aware of this fact.
Later on, Saxena shared a tale where everyone was preparing to hop onto a bus for the filming location, but Shah Rukh proposed that he and Saxena should take his car instead since their scenes weren’t scheduled until later in the afternoon.
Pondering over the meteoric rise of the actor from the movie Pathaan, Virendra noted that even though Shah Rukh has achieved great success, he continues to treat him with respect. He underscored that whenever they cross paths, they always exchange friendly greetings, but he never intrudes upon his privacy.
Virendra mentioned that individuals who gain fame sometimes think others may have certain expectations of them, so he takes care to avoid overwhelming Shah Rukh with too much attention.
