Nobody from this generation can match his
energy'
Varun Dhawan and Shah Rukh Khan
I cannot exactly remember what age I was, but
I remember hearing the song 'Koi Na Koi
Chahiye' from Deewana , when I was a child. I
loved every time it played on screen. I was
really young then and obviously, had no clue
who Shah Rukh Khan was. I just saw this man
riding a bike and jumping around cars.
There was another song which was a favourite
of mine. 'Badi Mushkil Hai Khoya Mera Dil
Hai' with Madhuri Dixit-Nene (in Anjaam) and
that was also picturised on the streets where
Shah Rukh Sir was jumping around.
So, my earliest memory was about this man
doesn't do things like other people do. He was
always jumping over cars and I found it really
cool at the time.
As I grew older, I watched his films and I
realised what a great actor he is. I watched
DDLJ and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and like the
millions and millions of people who love him,
I, too, became a fan of his. But before that,
his sheer energy and passion and the
exuberance he exuded on screen, drew me
towards him as a person.
More than the iconic things that we've seen
him doing on screen, I love the way in all his
action scenes, Shah Rukh Sir would jump, hit,
deliver and fall. The way he would actually get
beaten up in films " I would try doing that.
His hair, too, was really cool. I remember he
had this long mane. I always wanted to have a
hairstyle similar to his, but since I was in
school, I could never do that!
I remember the first time I got to meet him in
person. He had come home to meet dad
(David Dhawan) and I had no clue that he had
come. So when I walked into the room, I saw
my dad talking to someone who was sitting on
the ground aaram se chauki maarke. He was
looking up and when I came ahead, I saw it
was Shah Rukh Khan.
Usually when people would come home, they
would sit on the chair, he was different. He
was sitting on the ground. My earliest
memories have always been around the fact
that there was something that separated this
man from everyone else. From the simplest of
things he did to the most complex ones, he
always did everything very differently. The way
he behaved, the way he walked, the way he
spoke...
Once again, I met him while travelling and I
was with my mother. There was something
about him that you couldn't ignore, not that
he made a big hoo-ha about all that. He
doesn't do that even till date. But there's a
certain charm, there's a certain energy which
draws people towards him. That was always
there and maybe, it's more now. But he's very
casual and not at all in-your-face about who
he is and how he is. This man is really cool.
He has a lot of energy. I don't think anyone
from this generation can match him. While
doing some scenes or even during rehearsals,
he's relentless at it 24X7. Even when we're at
the PlayStation, he is like a teenager who will
be telling you, Lets do this, let's do that.'
It sometimes baffles me that he's a senior and
is so much older than me, but the way he is,
he can relate to everyone. Shah Rukh Khan is
someone who can relate to an eighty-year-old
and at the same time, he's able to relate to an
eight-year-old as well. That's what makes him
so popular because he comes across as
someone who can relate to any age and any
demography. The audiences feel like knowing
him in person and also owning him, so they
feel really comfortable around him.
During My Name is Khan (Varun was an AD on
the sets), Shah Rukh Sir would remain very
serious because the film and the role was
such. He didn't really fool around much on the
sets.
But on the Dilwale sets, he really fooled
around a lot. He's a producer as well. So he
kind of took care of all of us, saw that
everything was done in the best manner for
everyone on the sets. But on the sets, he's
always fooling around with Rohit Sir and the
entire crew. What he does brilliantly as an
actor and as the leader, is getting the entire
team together.http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report-happybirthdaykingkhan-from-fan-to-fifa-buddy-varun-dhawan-opens-up-on-his-bonding-with-shah-rukh-khan-2141204
