In an earlier promotional segment of the movie, Ayushmann Khurrana's character, Pooja, engaged in a flirtatious exchange with Shah Rukh's character from the film Pathaan. Recently, the actress candidly discussed the bond she shares with the Jawan actor.

During an interview with News18, Ananya Panday talked about the bond that she shares with the Jawan actor and recalled, “The first time he saw me on the big screen, he sent me a really long message, which I’ve almost framed and kept at home. Even though I’ve known him practically all my life, I’m still star-struck every time he walks into the room and that’s not just because of the actor that he is but also the human being that he is.” 

When asked about the one thing that she admires the most about him, the Pati Patni Aur Woh actress answered, “He’s witty, humble, funny, and caring and can make anyone feel so, so special. I’ve observed the human being in him a lot while growing up”. 

Speaking about her family’s excitement for her upcoming film Dream Girl 2, Ananya revealed, “My dad is very excited. My nana is also very thrilled. He sent me a very sweet message on our family group. He wrote, ‘This film will be the greatest film of all times and beat all box office numbers.’ It’s my family’s kind of film. My mum’s side of the family live in Delhi. I know that they’re the kind of audience who will watch the first-day-first-show of this film.”
