This is what SRK taught me in my first movie. He told me you should work with people who make you happy. It’s such a lovely atmosphere to work in and that’s what the audience is taking back. It’s pure, love and joy and it reflects and that’s what the audience is taking back. Whether it’s Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express – what makes it special is the relationship we share, the trust. I wouldn’t be here today, if it wasn’t for SRK and his vision for me. To shower me with so much love and grace. He has given me confidence and even he doesn’t know that. I do what I do because I know Shah Rukh will always be there for me.”
