Priyanka: SRK, sir?

Priyanka Chopra is on cloud nine. Certainly not because she exchanged pleasantries with Akshay Kumar at some awards night, but because the

Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan praised her to the press at the media showcase of My Name Is Khan. No wonder the actress can't stop gushing.

At the event talking about Priyanka, Shah Rukh said, "Priyanka is one of the finest actresses of this generation. Five years down the line, Priyanka will still be on top. She has tremendous appeal as an actress and her voice and diction is terrific."

SRK, who has worked with PC in Don and will be seen with her in the sequel ' Don 2, says, "Priyanka is disciplined, talented and a very professional girl. I'm fond of
her."

The
superstar recalls how PC embarrassed him on their first meeting by telling him that she was barely 12 when she saw Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. "I felt old," he jokes.

What is more SRK, said PC has never taken his name all these years despite having worked with him. PC on her part says, "I'm Shah Rukh's most ardent fan. When I was younger, my parents would have to put on Chamatkar for me, if they wanted me to eat my food. I have seen the
film at least 35 times."

PC adds, "I can't address SRK by his name, and I don't want to call him 'Sir' because I think that is too formal. Also the truth is, when SRK is around, I'm normally speechless. Seeing my icon in flesh has that effect on me."
The Kaminey
actress says, "I'm truly happy that SRK and his wife Gauri are my well-wishers."

And also can I just say that when I first saw Deepika and Anushka with SRK off-screen...I found it quite odd that they were so open and just called SRK by his first name even though he was such a senior. Ofcourse I didn't want them to call him "sir"...but at first I did wonder if they should have shown some respect.

So I love that Priyanka has so much respect for SRK and still hesitates to call him "sir". The fact that she recognizes it is good enough.

Yup...in all the promotions....it was like "SRK did this...and that"😆....But I found it more obvious in Anushka's case coz she used to shout SRK's name even on the sets...in the making SRK is trying to rehearse and she keeps shouting his name😕😆

I think Salman excludes a sense of authority...so newcomers in his presence start respecting him...whereas SRK is more buddy-buddy and hardly ever treats any of the new actresses as a teacher.

I don't think just because they called him by his name, it's any less respectful. How awkward would it be to call him SRK ji, SRK ji when they ARE friends and colleagues? Now if they said tum instead of aap, I would find that weird.

No I'm not accusing them of being disrespectful...even I would be seriously confused what to address him as if I worked with him...I just found it strange the first few times I heard it. And SRK himself keeps saying that I tell all the actresses to call me "tum"...so I guess he prefers it that way anyway.

But Priyanka has always been like that...even before Don SRK used to say that Priyanka refused to call him by his first name. 😆
