When SRK arranged a knee pad from his vanity for co-actor Anil Grover

MUMBAI: Actor Anil Grover, whose recent release ‘Dunki’, which stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, has shared an incident from the film’s shoot which paints a picture of SRK’s kindness and his supportive nature towards his co-actors.

During a scene, Anil had to fall on his knees for a dramatic effect. However, he wasn’t able to do it freely because of the fear of his knees getting hurt. When SRK realised this, he arranged for a knee pad from his vanity.

Recollecting the incident, Anil said: “Shahrukh sir has consistently been a guiding light throughout the movie. Whenever challenges arose, he was there to provide invaluable support.”

He further mentioned: “There was a scene where I had to fall on my knees, and I wasn't doing it freely. Recognising this, he promptly arranged for a knee pad from his vanity, ensuring my comfort. His kind gesture was truly touching and made a significant impact on me.”

The actor said that working with SRK is an experience which he will cherish for life.

He share: “Being on this journey with a legend like him is more than a dream come true, it's like learning a new way to approach acting. His guidance means a lot, and the way he helped me at places where I was getting stuck to bring out the best is what truly makes him the most kind and warm person that he is.”

Talking about his character, Anil said: “In the movie, my character is reflecting on life in a small town like where I come from. I've seen and lived those experiences, and I tried to bring those everyday moments into the character. It's not just about acting; it's about making the roles matter, making them real for the audience. I believe people will connect with the character because it's genuine, relatable, and tells a story that feels like home.”
