Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu recently shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Dunki. Now, in a recent interview, Taapsee opened up about her experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki. The actress told Connect FM Canada, “Just like Bachchan sir, Shah Rukh sir loves to rehearse. He likes to rehearse a scene to the point that he is one with dialogue and it becomes a part of his muscle memory. He is a theatre actor who became a film actor. So his way is more like going about rehearsing. And he is a trained actor also so our methods are quite opposite.”

The actress said that she worried if she would ever get an opportunity like this ever again and hence wanted to make the most out of it. She laughed and added that she was afraid of getting fired from the film.

Taapsee also spoke about getting star-struck by Shah Rukh Khan. She continued, “I remember the first day, when I had to look at him and perform, I would just zone out mid-take. Because what I am seeing in front of my eyes is the same visual that I have seen on the big screen for years.”

Taapsee also shared “There were so many times that it took a little effort for me to mentally get my focus back into present.” She said, “I don’t know if sir realised it or not. Or even if he did, I am glad that he did not bring it up to make me feel even more awkward but I got through that phase pretty soon because I realised that how once in a lifetime opportunity this can be for someone like me.”
