Shriya revealed how SRK always made her feel welcomed and loved. “His charm lies in the fact that he makes everybody feel special and important,” she added. She also talked about the tips he had given her during the shoots.

“In one of my conversations, I had mentioned to SRK that I am also interested in filmmaking and that I had directed a short film and a documentary. He told me that he, too, loves the process of filmmaking. He also suggested a book on screenwriting called, ‘Save The Cat’ which I immediately bought. We would hang out whenever we could after the shoot. It was just a nice and easy experience. I think there is a lot to learn from him and the way he carries himself. In general, I think of him as a philosopher,” she said.

Shriya also admitted that Fan made her think and dream bigger after her character got so much love.
