Shah Rukh Khan has been getting love from one and all ever since the release of Jawan (not that he didn’t get love before). We’re all fans of SRK but it looks like even yesteryear actors love him just as much. In a recent Instagram post, Saira Banu opened up and recalled the time when she first met Shah Rukh Khan at an event and how she saw Dilip Kumar in him.
