But then there was the air hostess who told me that we are landing, you can come to the first class so that you can exit quickly. They took me and I just saw to my right I was like Oh my God, that's Shah Rukh Sir. What it's Shah Rukh Khan. He is my favorite person, and you learn so much from him as well. So many interviews he does, all the speeches and everything. Then I was like Shah Rukh Sir Hi, I'm such a huge fan of you," she added.

Recalling meeting Shah Rukh Khan back in 2013, Anushka commented, "I have met him in 2013.

Talking more about it, the young star shared, "I was like, sir, I'm meeting you exactly after a decade. Can I show you the picture? He was so humble and sweet. He took his time. He was like, yes, please show me the picture. I showed him the picture. He loved it. He's like, it's so nice to meet you, Beta. What's your name? I told him that I'm Anushka Sen. It's so nice to meet you, sir. And then when he was exiting, he could have just exited because I was really happy. I was like, on cloud nine that Mr. Shah Rukh Khan sir had spoken to me. And he was exiting and he stopped and he said, God bless you, Beta. And he did his hand like that and he left. And I'm like, wow, what an inspiration."

Continuing the discussion about the Jawan actor, Sen mentioned, "That's why these people reach those heights, because they're so humble. So before my big performance, he gave me his blessings. I took it in that way that he has blessed me for this event. I'm going to do my best. I'm representing India. I'm going to kill. You know, I get inspired from these people. They're really amazing."
