"Learn to act, Shah Rukh" – teases Juhi Chawla

Shah Rukh Khan was at the receiving end of some good-humoured bantering by co-star Juhi Chawla on the sets of Bhootnath .

We all know how good friends SRK and Juhi Chawla are. They have paired together in a number of films in the past and are coming together yet again in producer Ravi Chopra’s film ‘Bhootnath’ that is being directed by Vivek Sharma.

The camaraderie and chemistry between SRK and Juhi was evident on the sets of the film. In fact, Juhi showed that if there is anyone (except Aamir Khan , of course) who can banter with SRK, it was she.

It happened during a shoot in which SRK, Juhi and Vivek Oberoi were taking part.

Despite a busy schedule, SRK was his flamboyant self on the sets. He memorized his dialogues to perfection while doing the make-up, and when he faced the camera, he delivered his lines flawlessly and okayed his shots in a single take only.

Smug about his efficiency and talent, SRK turned to Juhi and asked rhetorically, “Now, wasn’t that worth a compliment?”

Not to be charmed by SRK’s smugness, Juhi retorted wittily: “First learn to act Shahrukh. Then you will get the due praise”.

Everyone on the sets reportedly broke out in laughter at hearing this. Even SRK took Juhi’s good-natured banter in the right spirit.

The two actors play husband and wife in the film. However, SRK has a brief role because the character he plays dies mid-way in the story.

Shah Rukh Khan´s ´Mannat´ Asks : ´Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?'

Shah Rukh Khan has got the set of 'Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?' installed at his house, where he diligently rehearses for the game show. He used to similarly practice at home when he was asked to host 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. Notwithstanding the fact that he is a such a big star, Shah Rukh has no hesitation in doing rehearsals.

The man is sincerity personified when it comes to his work. Realising that hosting a TV show is quite different from acting in films, Bollywood's global superstar is leaving no stone unturned to make the game show as interesting as many of his films are.

Meanwhile, rumours are rife that Sony Entertainment Television is in negotiations with Salman Khan to host a reality show. The story goes that Salman is being paid around Rs. 75 lakh per episode as his fee for hosting the show.
