Jawan Prevue starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra and Riddhi Dogra is out, and fans are shaking! The prevue gave a glimpse into the anti-hero role Shah Rukh is essaying and I shall not be wrong if I say he looks intimidating and scary too. In many interviews, actresses who have worked with SRK have the sweetest stories to tell about what it was like working with him, and so does Riddhi. In an exclusive interview with us, Riddhi Dogra shared her experience of what it was like working with SRK in Jawan.

Riddhi Dogra did not shy away from expressing how much of a fan she is of Shah Rukh Khan. Talking about the first she met him, Riddhi said, “When I met him, it felt like he is an incarnation of Rumi.” She further describes him as ‘amazing’ and ‘lovely person’. Talking about how familiar it felt to work with him, Riddhi said, “I saw so much of Delhi in him, I also saw my friends in him.”

Riddhi Dogra also went on to highlight how Shah Rukh Khan carries an ‘inner child-like quality’, she said that it is his greatness that he possesses his quality given the stature he has reached. She also said that she respects this about SRK. Elaborating more, Riddhi Dogra said, “Looking at Shah Rukh Khan, you feel that if he can remember who he was before everything started, so can you.”
