In her conversation with Times Of India, Sanya Malhotra stated that Shah Rukh Khan is a completely 'easy' co-star, who loves talking to people on sets and loves listening to their stories. The actress added that the superstar never stopped working hard while shooting for 'Zinda Banda' song, even when it was extremely hot outside. She also revealed King Khan was injured while shooting for the song, but continued working passionately.

"On the second day of the shoot, I noticed that Shah Rukh Khan had got a bruise, but he was going on and on. And I told him that he had got a bruise on his hand, and then all of us checked our hands and saw that we all had bruises. That was a bit surreal," recalled Sanya Malhotra, who also revealed that the leading man never went to his caravan to chill, amid the shooting.
