Swara-Bhaskar-Shah-Rukh-Khan

Swara Bhaskar is Bollywood's underrated yet formidable actress of our times. She has made her presence felt in the movies like Ranjhaana and now she is getting amazing critical acclaim for her next movie: Anarkali Ki Arrah. For those who don't know, she is director Aanand L Rai's favourite who also is her meAccordingoridng to DNA, she had a free-wheeling discussion with him about his next movie with Shah Rukh Khan where the superstar is playing a dwarf. She told him that she has grown up watching Shah Rukh romance his actresses and asked if there was any role for her in the film. Rai told her that the only role left in the flick was that of SRK's mom. Swara was quick to reject the part and she let go of this opportunity only because she really did not want to play the romantic hero's mother on screen!

It is reported that she was mortified upon hearing the role details and promptly denied working with a much older Shah Rukh. What do you think of this? Do you think her rejecting a film opposite Shah Rukh was justified? Tell us in the comment section below. For the uninitiated, Swara has always been an SRK fan and she has said so in her earlier interviews as well. In fact, her long-standing dream was to become like Shah Rukh and NOT like any Bollywood actress.

In one of her interviews, she told a publication, "I wanted to be like Shah Rukh Khan, and not a Bollywood heroine. I thought I would become a popular actor like him. An actor can become a star, but to retain that position like SRK, Salman (Khan) or Aamir (Khan) for 25 years is difficult."

I say she should've accepted just to gain work experience and prove her acting skills, kya ho jata if she plays his mom.. she wouldn't be playing SRK's mom, but a character's mom.

When Swara refused to play SRK's mother

FilmfareTue, Feb 28, 2017

Like most actresses, Swara Bhaskar too is a diehard fan of Shah Rukh Khan and holds a secret desire to have him serenade her on screen. So when Swara came to know that Aanand L Rai was making a film with SRK, she dared to try her luck only to her dismay. In an exclusive chat with Filmfare, Swara revealed, "I love Shah Rukh Khan. I have grown up watching his films. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge actually ruined my life." She went on to narrate, "I told Shah Rukh sir in the presence of Aanand sir to please ask him to cast me in his film with him." But the spunky actor was quick to lay down a condition. She didn't want to play the superstar's sister' or daughter'. But the director threw a shocker her way. "Aanandji said, Beta, I can only offer you his mother's role!' I was like this is the worst conversation I've ever had," laughs Swara at the outrageous memory. That she was utterly devastated to have her dreams bite dust is only natural. Reportedly, the film has SRK paired with Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone.
