While speaking to Pinkvilla, Renuka Shahane said that Shah Rukh was a ‘Delhi boy, very brash.’ She said that she was new at the time, during Circus, and that she was ‘taken aback’ by his confidence. She said that he is very witty, intelligent, and a great co-actor. “Because he comes from theatre, he improvises the scenes, and gets the tone right, that was always a part of how he worked,” she said. Renuka Shahane shared that Shah Rukh is extremely professional and that if work demanded it, he would shoot for 36 hours at a stretch without complaining. Another thing that she noticed and appreciated about Shah Rukh was the fact that he has a great deal of respect for everyone on the set- right from the spot person to the producer.

“He has a very equal way of looking at people. He communicates with the person, their profession doesn’t count,” said Renuka Shahane. She further added that he is very warm in his interaction with people, and with women, he is extremely gracious. “But yeah, we began with Delhi Vs Bombay kind of a thing (laughs).”

She also revealed that she enjoyed watching Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan. The film also stars Renuka’s husband Ashutosh Rana. “I enjoyed it! Seeti maaro, popcorn khaao! (laughs) It was really lovely. I had already seen celebrations in theatres and felt this is the kind of cinema I have grown up seeing and being a part of! To see Shah Rukh after so long on screen after Zero was also good. Deepika, John, Dimple ji, Ashutosh Rana everyone was so good,” said Renuka.
