Shahrukh Khan is also called a romantic king in Bollywood. He has played similar roles in most films and people liked it very much. Aditya Chopra’s film DDLJ has a special contribution in making such an image of Shahrukh. After this film, there is a period which is going on till now and Shah Rukh still plays a romantic character. But there was a time when King Khan did not want to do ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’. Then something happened in his life that the actor agreed to do this film.
Some time ago a documentary series came on Netflix ‘The Romantics’. In this series, Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan were seen talking about each other. In this series, Aditya had told that earlier Shah Rukh did not want to do this film.
Shahrukh Khan did not want to do DDLJ
Aditya Chopra had told that earlier Shah Rukh Khan wanted to become an action hero. Because some time before that he did ‘fear’. Aditya Chopra was an assistant in this film, so the coordination between the two sat well from there. Then when Aditya offered DDLJ to Shah Rukh, he felt that Aditya was making him mad and turning an action hero into a lover boy without getting to him. When Aditya told Shahrukh its script, he did not expect such a story. After the script, King Khan was asked whether he did not like it? On this, he had said, “There was no talk of choice or dislike, I did not want to listen to such a film.”

What did an 80 -year -old woman say for Shahrukh
Aditya told Shahrukh that he should not limit himself to action films. Even after celebrating his lakhs, King Khan did not say yes to DDLJ for several months. One day Aditya Chopra was on the set of the film ‘Trimurti’. Then an about 80 -year -old woman came there and praised Shah Rukh’s work. But he did not like it that the king does action in every film and every time his character dies. After this, both of them went on for about 15 minutes and Aditya told Shahrukh a line which sat in his mind throughout his life. He said, “Never close your doors for love story. Because in this country, a superstar can become the one who is the son of every mother, the brother of every sister and every college girl has a fantasy. ” What was it then, Shah Rukh agreed to become a lover boy and is still liked in this role.
