Zoya Akhtar talks about Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan
In a recent interview with Mid Day, Zoya Akhtar was asked if she penned Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue in Luck By Chance keeping him in mind. She said, “I think you also see it with him. I think he’s quite rooted, his old friends, you know, the people that gave him a break, the people that stood by him, he stands by. I think, you know, it’s just that guy, so it just came with him."
The interviewer also queried if she called SRK to The Archies sets to talk to the newcomers. Zoya responded, “No, I wouldn’t. I mean, no, because I’ve worked with newcomers. I’ve worked with Siddhant Chaturvedi, I’ve worked with various newcomers. You don’t call in someone and say, ‘Give them a pep talk.’ You just don’t do that." She continued, “No, that’s my job. I can’t give my job to someone else. That’s what I’m meant to do."
