Flashback Friday: Shah Rukh Khan- Priyanka Chopra makes me feel comfo

There were rumors about Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra's growing closeness. The two had then dismissed it, but had called their friendship special. In an interview from 2011, they reveal their fondness for each other.

Shah Rukh Khan is the King of Romance; his personal life and a rock-steady marriage with Gauri Khan has given fans relationship goals. However, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra reportedly came quite close during the filming of Don and Don 2. Reports of their closeness' were fuelled by photos of Priyanka leaving Shah Rukh's office at 3 AM and at Don 2's premiere in Berlin her hand being in his pocket and had exclaimed, Priyanka looked prettier than Berlin'. They publicly called each other special and said that nobody would understand their equation.

Here's looking back at an interview in which they addressed rumors of their affair'. When asked about their admiration for each other', Shah Rukh had said, "Personally, I am quite uncomfortable around actors. I get very conscious. But she makes me feel comfortable. She'll fix my hair if it's out of place. It's nice working with a friend like that. Also she has realised that I am as insecure as anyone else, and Priyanka responded by saying, " Ever since I remember, I've wanted to grow up and be like him. Perhaps like a female version. He has always been associated with the most important aspects of my life ever since he crowned me Miss World. So he has been instrumental in honing me in a lot of ways.

When asked about their growing friendship', Shah Rukh responded by saying, "As an actor when you put in long hours of work, and then you have someone who you really love or feel for to share that space, you feel fortunate. What's unfortunate is when people give it a name or a tag. Sometimes friendships or relationships are beyond what people say. So when things out of the ordinary are said, it's not embarrassing to us at least, because we know what it really is.

"I'm happy she's around. I can take the advantage of calling her and asking her to do a three-day shoot for me, where all she's doing is hanging from a rope. And she does it for me. She shoots on her birthday. It may be beyond professionalism, but that's what friends do. The process of work becomes beautiful when you share that kind of relationship. I read what's written, think about it, but it won't come in the way of what we feel for each other, he had said in the interview when asked about Priyanka.
