Actress Priyamani has been making it to the headlines for all the right reasons and she is being praised for her performance as Manoj Bajpayee’s wife in ‘The Family Man’. The critically acclaimed series has been garnering love from all quarters and Priyamani is being hailed for her character as ‘Suchi’.

Now, in a recent interview with Zoom, the actress opened up about sharing the frame with Shah Rukh Khan in the memorable song ‘1234 Get On The Dance Floor’ from Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express. 

The song was a huge hit and Priyamani revealed an interesting anecdote from the shoot in Wai, when SRK gave her Rs 300.

Praising Shah Rukh Khan, Priyamani said, “He made me extremely comfortable right from day one - from the time I met him - I reached a day before we started the shoot. Right from that time till the time we finished the shoot, he has been an absolute sweetheart. He has taken care of all of us so well. So much so, that in between, we played ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ on his iPad. He gave me 300 rupees which I still have with me in my wallet. He just makes you feel comfortable. He is such a sweet guy and as I said, he is one of the biggest superstars we have in our country."

Heaping more praises for Shah Rukh and his dedication to work, Priyamani revealed that the actor would bring assistants of choreographers on the sets and learn the choreography of what was supposed to be taught the next day. He had a team of choreographers all the time along with him.

“A man of his stature need not do that but that shows his humility and how humble he is and you know that he is so hardworking. And that is what makes me like him even more," Priyamani had shared.
