However, Shah Rukh kindly responded, "Let him do what he wants to do. It’s nice." Zayed noted that Shah Rukh found amusement in the way he portrayed the scene.
He also added that Shah Rukh Khan vibed with him on his first day at shoot and said, “I remember Farah coming and telling me not to push him too hard. I think he had a back issue. He was very endearing—typically Shah Rukh. He was letting me have my day. He didn’t interfere with how I was portraying anything. He was vibing with me, absorbed what I did, and reacted accordingly. I asked him whether I pushed him too hard. He gave his typical Shah Rukh smile and told me, ‘You do what you are doing.’”
