Girija Oak Godbole recalls shooting with SRK when he was going through a tough phase
In a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Girija shared that she had shot with Shah Rukh Khan when the latter was going through the toughest phase of his life. She mentioned that when they were shooting for the film, Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan, was in custody due to a false dr** case. For the uninitiated, in October 2021, Aryan Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and accused of having involvement in d**gs case. Girjia highlighted how another controversy crept into SRK’s life during the legendary singer, Lata Mangeshkar’s funeral. She added that although a lot was happening at that time, the superstar was holding himself gracefully. She was quoted as saying:
“I had shot with him during the most difficult phase of his life. While shooting for Jawan, the Aryan case was going on. This was followed by another controversy during Lata Mangeshkar’s funeral when he said a dua (blessing). People had started accusing him, and it was all in very bad taste. In spite of this happening, the craze that man holds.”
