Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, known for his unmatched talent and immense popularity, has been dominating the film industry for several years. Starting his acting career in television, he eventually made a grand entry into Bollywood and became a household name. Shah Rukh Khan has captured countless hearts with his exceptional performances and unwavering dedication. Recently, the film Maya Memsaab, in which he starred, celebrated its 30th anniversary, prompting director Ketan Mehta to share intriguing anecdotes about the movie. One such story reveals Khan’s commitment to his craft as he continued shooting for Maya Memsaab despite his mother’s critical condition at the time.

During a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Ketan Mehta disclosed that Maya Memsaab was the first film Shah Rukh Khan shot for, although it was released after his theatrical debut in Deewana (1992). The film also starred Deepa Sahi, Farooq Shaikh, and Raj Babbar. Mehta praised Khan’s professionalism and recounted how the actor showed up in Shimla to film the movie while his mother was hospitalized.

“Hats off to Shah Rukh Khan,” Mehta exclaimed. “His mother was in a critical situation at that time. The entire unit had reached Shimla, and he didn’t want to delay the shoot. I am grateful for his positive energy.” Shah Rukh Khan’s mother passed away in 1991. The director also shared how he came to cast the superstar in Maya Memsaab, revealing that his name was recommended by Aziz Mirza and Saeed Mirza, who had previously worked with Khan on the television show Circus.

“We were searching for a newcomer. When Shah Rukh came, I realized his energy was simply infectious. There was an instant connection, and we decided to cast him,” Mehta explained. The first scene they shot together was amidst a snowstorm. For any actor, their debut film is an opportunity to give their best, and Khan embraced it with his boundless energy and a desire to prove himself. He maintained a positive and energetic atmosphere throughout the shoot.

In the present day, Shah Rukh Khan is currently occupied with his upcoming film, Jawan. Directed by Atlee, the movie also stars Sanya Malhotra and Nayanthara in pivotal roles, and it is set to release on September 7. Additionally, he is working on Dunki, alongside Taapsee Pannu, under the direction of Rajkumar Hirani.

Shah Rukh Khan’s commitment to his craft and his ability to overcome personal challenges while delivering exceptional performances continue to inspire his fans and cement his status as a true superstar of Indian cinema.
