Mumbai, April 24 (NationPress) Actor Pavail Gulati openly admitted that even now, seeing Shah Rukh Khan from afar makes him want to escape — not due to disinterest, but because he feels awestruck by the presence of the superstar.
The 'Deva' actor has frequently expressed his admiration for the Bollywood icon, but in a recent statement, he shared how SRK significantly influenced his love for cinema. Recently, Pavail described his profound respect for Shah Rukh Khan, calling himself “a graduate from the Shah Rukh School of Chivalry.” He conveyed that Khan's impact extends beyond film — influencing not only his enthusiasm for movies but also significantly shaping his character and principles.
“I'm a proud 90s kid, and I grew up immersed in Shah Rukh Khan's films, admiring not only his on-screen charisma but also his demeanor off-screen. I would watch his interviews and how he interacted with others, and I was continuously inspired. My school pals and I used to joke that we all graduated from the 'Shah Rukh School of Chivalry'. His treatment of women, whether at award ceremonies, guiding a co-star on stage, or assisting them to their seats, left an enduring impact on us,” the actor shared.
Gulati continued, “For me, he was more than just a film star; he was a role model off-screen as well. Naturally, you can't become Shah Rukh Khan, but you can aspire to emulate him. He possesses a charm and presence that is difficult to articulate. Even today, if I catch sight of him from a distance, I'd likely run away not out of a desire to avoid him, but because I'd be too intimidated to approach him in public.”
Regarding his favorite Shah Rukh Khan movie, Pavail Gulati shared, “Yes Boss is a film that means a lot to me. It may not be the most popular SRK film, but it holds a special place in my heart. I remember returning home from school, playing the cassette, locking my door, and dancing endlessly to its soundtrack. I loved it so much that I bought three cassettes! That film was a significant part of my childhood and one I will always feel emotionally connected to.”
On a professional note, Pavail, who was recently seen alongside Shahid Kapoor in “Deva,” first garnered widespread acclaim for his compelling and nuanced role in “Thappad.”
