Adnan Sami Reminisces About Shah Rukh Khan Gifting Him Sweaters During an Advertisement Shoot: “I Was Deeply Touched”

“He is a remarkably gracious person to collaborate with,” commented Adnan Sami regarding SRK.

New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan’s exceptional performance in Jawan has garnered immense appreciation from his co-stars and Bollywood friends. Apart from applauding his acting skills, they have also shared heartwarming anecdotes highlighting the actor’s kindness and thoughtfulness. One such instance is recounted by singer Adnan Sami, who had the opportunity to work with Shah Rukh Khan in the early 2000s. In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, the “Lift Kara Dein” singer reminisced about an ad shoot he did with Shah Rukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor. During the shoot, SRK noticed the extreme cold weather and decided to buy Adnan Sami a few sweaters. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Adnan Sami shared, “I was supposed to be wearing a signature Hawaiian kind of a shirt. Colorful, summery… that was my outfit. That’s the way the designers had made my clothes but it was cold. He (Shah Rukh) knew that. On the day that I arrived, he went out shopping and suddenly I got a knock on the door and he said, ‘You know what, it’s very cold outside. I got you some sweaters.’ I was very touched by that.”

Adnan Sami, deeply moved by this thoughtful gesture, added, “He didn’t have to do that, and that whole gesture… that speaks a lot about the person. So that was wonderful. He is a very gracious person to work with. Full of love, empathy, very generous in his craft.”

Regarding Jawan’s box office performance, the film achieved remarkable success, collecting ₹71.63 crore on Sunday, as reported by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The film’s total earnings now stand at ₹252.08 crore.
