It was well-known in the industry that Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra were inseparable. People would be envious of the bond that they had. Shah Rukh held Priyanka Chopra near his heart, despite the actress acknowledging that she always left him in awe. The industry people, including Shah Rukh Khan’s wife, Gauri Khan, didn’t take well to their friendship, either. Eventually, around 2011, rumours of their supposed affair began to surface in the press.
According to reports, Shah Rukh and Priyanka got close while filming Don. They were seen mingling at events, parties, and nightclubs. In a viral video, Shah Rukh Khan addressed the issue of his rumoured affair with Priyanka Chopra, hurting his followers, who had always thought of him as a one-woman man.
In response to a query, Shah Rukh Khan, who was seated next to Katrina Kaif, stated in the video that it disturbed him that the woman he had worked with was interrogated and did not receive the same respect he does. He was cited as saying: ” To me, what is most disturbing is the fact that a lady who’s worked with me has been questioned, and somewhere down the line, she’s not being shown the kind of respect I show her or all the women. I think it’s a little disrespectful.”
Shah Rukh expressed his regret to his fans once more, emphasising that it wasn’t for anything he had done but rather because she was his friend. She has been the person he has felt most connected to. He’d stated: ” I’m extremely sorry about that. Sorry means… it’s not directly because of anything I’ve done but because she’s my friend. She’s one of the closest friends I have, very close to my heart, and always will be.”
In the same interview, Shah Rukh praised Priyanka’s accomplishments profusely. The celebrity also recalled how she first met Priyanka Chopra at a pageant, when she began her path to becoming Miss World champion. He’d said, “She’s a little girl who started her Miss India or Miss World crowning with me—I don’t remember. We’ve shared some of the nicest moments on screen as friends, and it’s unfortunate. It’s extremely unfortunate and sad for me to think that, you know, a friendship gets a little soiled.”
