MUMBAI: For every artist, working with Shah Rukh Khan is nothing short of a dream come true. Actor Paras Madaan is one of the lucky few who had the opportunity to share screen space with the Bollywood superstar.
Talking about his experience, Paras recalls, “In my initial days, I got the chance to work with SRK in a Lux soap advertisement. It was a surreal experience, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had that opportunity. SRK is not just a superstar but also a wonderful human being who makes everyone feel at ease. I learned a lot from him, and that experience will always be cherished.”
Shah Rukh Khan is often regarded as an institution in himself, inspiring generations of actors with his talent, discipline, and humility. Paras shares what he learned from the superstar, saying, “One thing that stands out about SRK is his incredible work ethic and dedication to his craft. He is a true perfectionist who pushes himself to deliver his best. What inspires me the most is his humility—despite being a global icon, he remains grounded and makes everyone feel valued. He has taught me that success is not just about achieving milestones, but also about staying true to oneself and one’s passion.”
When asked about his favorite SRK films, Paras picks two that have left a lasting impact on him—Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) and Swades. He explains, “DDLJ redefined romance in Indian cinema. SRK’s portrayal of Raj Malhotra is endearing, and his chemistry with Kajol is simply magical. The film’s timeless appeal lies in its beautiful storytelling, memorable characters, and iconic dialogues. On the other hand, Swades showcases his versatility as an actor. His role as Mohan Bhargava, an NRI who returns to India to make a difference, is inspiring. The film’s themes of patriotism, social responsibility, and personal growth resonate deeply.”
Summing up his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, Paras adds, “One thing I truly admire about him is his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He has a unique charm and charisma that transcends age, culture, and geography. Despite being one of the most successful actors in the world, he remains humble and always eager to learn and grow. His passion for storytelling and his commitment to his craft are truly inspiring. He is a legend and a role model for many, and I feel fortunate to have learned from him and to continue being inspired by his journey.”
