When Shah Rukh Khan thanked this actress and his best friend for teaching him acting, but never worked with her

Shah Rukh Khan learned acting from Barry John’s training institute, and there was another actress who became his best friend.

Divya Seth, the actress in question, is the daughter of veteran actress Sushma Seth and is best known for playing Shahid Kapoor’s mother in ‘Jab We Met’ and starring in India’s first soap opera ‘Hum Log’.

Back in 2015, SRK tweeted a picture with her and wrote- “My bestest friend Divya, who taught me acting.Don’t hold the bad ones I do,only the good inspired by her teachings.”

What next for SRK?

Shah Rukh Khan had an iconic 2023 with successes like Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. Yash had an iconic 2022 when he delivered the biggest hit of that year with KGF: Chapter Two. What if the two came together for a film? It seems that could happen in future.

A source told Hindustan Times, “There have been conversations around him working with Shah Rukh Khan — and it is an idea which got both of the actors super excited. However, they need the right project to collaborate together as it will come with a lot of expectations, and they don’t want to disappoint their fans. That’s why they want it to be a well-thought move, instead of an impulsive one.”

SRK on his four-year gap

Khan, who was on a four-year hiatus before he returned to the movies last year, says fans’ love for his three films “Pathaan“, “Jawan” and “Dunki” is a sign that they don’t want him to stay away from the big screen for a long time.

Shah Rukh was speaking at the fan meet-and-greet for “Dunki“, his last film of 2023. He had started the year with “Pathaan” and followed it up with “Jawan“. All three films turned out to be commercial successes. For someone who has been working continuously for 33 years, taking “such a big gap” was new for him, the 58-year-old actor said.
