Actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani has opened up about having Shah Rukh Khan as a tenant, offering a glimpse into the superstar’s personality amid his temporary move out of Mannat.Speaking about Shah Rukh, Jackky chose to highlight his humility and demeanour.“Look, according to me, I just pray that I can become as good a human being as Shah Rukh sir. The level of stardom he has—and his demeanour—you can’t even imagine,” Jackky told Bollywood Bubble.
‘When he talks to you, he is only talking to you’
Jackky emphasised the actor’s ability to make people feel valued in conversations.“When you meet him, if he’s talking to you, he’s only talking to you. That is very, very validating for a human being.”He added, “Imagine someone is distracted while talking—you feel they’re not present. But he is fully present. He could be anyone, but he is present.”
‘He is the complete opposite’
Calling him exceptional, Jackky said, “Principally, he is 11 on 10.”He also pointed out a gesture that stood out to him. “Whenever you go to meet him, no matter who you are, he will personally walk you out till the end.”Summing up, he noted that Shah Rukh breaks the usual stereotype associated with stardom.“Generally, people think, ‘I am Shah Rukh Khan, I’ll behave a certain way.’ But he is actually the complete opposite.”
