Who are your support systems?
There have been too many people who have taken credit for my success. But apart from my husband (Zubin), there's only one man who has never been publicly acknowledged, for whatever I've achieved.
That's Shah Rukh Khan..and I've never spoken about this..
Yes Boss was being shot when I first came to Mumbai. I was asked to do a small role in it. Shah Rukh taught me how to face the camera and told me what acting is all about.
It was a crowd scene. I went up to him and said I've never faced so many people in my life. He said look them in the eye. From that day, I've looked people in the eye and I've kept walking.
Shah Rukh is Zubin's friend. When I became Tulsi, the only two people who actually helped Smriti gain a footing are Shah Rukh Khan and Zubin.
I think if I ever sit opposite him on the Kaun Banega Crorepati hot seat, I would break down in tears.That's because he signifies my beginning for me. If I'm allowed by Sony, I'd love to dedicate Viruddh to Shah Rukh Khan and Zubin.
