Wamiqa Gabbi on her first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan

In a recent interview with Mashable India, Wamiqa Gabbi recalled her first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of Baby John. She shared that SRK visited the set on the Mahurat day and greeted everyone present.

Wamiqa mentioned that she was standing behind two or three people, so Shah Rukh couldn’t see her clearly. After that, her brother gave her a bizarre piece of advice, to slit her wrist so that SRK would notice her.

When Shah Rukh finally approached and said hello, Wamiqa loudly told him about her brother’s unusual suggestion. The entire crew and set fell into stunned silence, including SRK himself. Embarrassed, she then quickly said thank you.
