When asked about his biggest inspiration in life, Taha named his mother and added, “In Bollywood, I’m a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan.” The host curiously asked, “Aap mile ho unse? aapne kaha unke sath kaam karna hai.” (Have you met him? You said you want to work with him.) Taha shared his unforgettable moment, saying, “Main unke aankhon main itna kho gaya, main unko bol hi nahi paaya kuch.” (I got so lost in his eyes, I couldn’t say anything.) Taha also revealed that Shah Rukh Khan kissed him on the cheeks after watching his performance.

Taha’s admiration for Shah Rukh Khan is evident, and he hopes to share the screen with the superstar someday. His dream to collaborate with the global icon remains alive as he continues to make his mark in the industry.
