Shah Rukh Khan is not just an actor but someone who understands the language of cinema. He breathes live into every frame he is in, turning moments into memories. That’s why his performances are remembered across generations. During an old conversation with Filmfare, the actor spoke to us about some of the scenes he liked doing and decoded them.

Talking about his favourite scene in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas, he said, “When I go home for my dad’s funeral, I tell my mother “Achche aadmi the woh…” It is one of my favourite scenes.” He starred with Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Jackie Shroff in this film.


About Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, SRK said, “When I come running to the summer school and see Kajol for the first time after so many years and I say, ‘Sari!’ As an actor I really enjoyed doing that scene.
In Baazigar, he shared the screen with Shilpa Shetty and Kajol. Talking about his favourite scene, SRK said, “When I say sorry to Shilpa before throwing her off the terrace. In my head the word ‘sorry’ meant ‘I love you a lot’.

About his iconic love story Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, he expressed, “At the station when Kajol invited me for her wedding and I say, ‘Nahin, mein nahin aaunga.’

Shah Rukh Khan also spoke about his film Swades, which is considered one of his career best. He continued, “Whe the kid sells me water in a kulhar at the station and then runs to give me my change. I was moved even while doing it.”Shah Rukh Khan films

He concluded with Kal Ho Naa Ho and said his favourite scene was, “When I tell Preeti how she should learn to smile and show her how with a ‘Hee hee.’ The timing was just right.

Filmfare Flashback: Looking Back at Dilip Kumar and Nutan’s Wins for Devdas and Seema

As we gear up for the grand 70th edition of the Filmfare Awards in Gujarat, this is the perfect moment to look back at the glorious past of Indian cinema’s most celebrated event. Today, we turn the pages back to the 4th Filmfare Awards held in May 1957.

Two legends of Hindi cinema made history as Dilip Kumar won the Best Actor award for his unforgettable performance in Devdas, and Nutan clinched her very first Best Actress trophy for Seema (1955). This went on to become the late actress’ first of five Best Actress awards. Later, they posed together with their trophies, making it a memorable frame.

Take a look at the picture:


V Shantaram won the Best Director Award for Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje, and this film also won the Best Film award. In fact, the film swept the awards that year. AK Parmar won the award for Best Sound Design, and Kanu Desai bagged the Best Art Direction award for Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baaje.

Other awardees were Motilal (Best Supporting Actor; Devdas), Vyjayanthimala (Best Supporting Actress; Devdas), GG Mayekar (Best Music Director; Shree 420) and Amiya Chakravarty (Best Story; Seema), among others.



From icons like Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, and Nargis in the early years, to Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, and Rishi Kapoor, every era of Hindi cinema has left its imprint on the Filmfare stage. In more recent years, Shah Rukh Khan’s wit as a host, Salman Khan’s electrifying performances, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s elegance, Deepika Padukone’s grace, Priyanka Chopra’s energy, and Ranveer Singh’s larger-than-life stage presence have turned the awards into a spectacle of glamour and entertainment. The 70th Filmfare Awards will take place in Gujarat in October this year.

Stay tuned to Filmfare for more updates on the awards.

5 Actors Who Rejected Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Bollywood

Devdas: Salman Khan, Manoj Bajpayee To Kareena Kapoor Khan

Salman Khan To Kareena Kapoor Khan, 5 Actors Who Rejected Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas! ( Photo Credit – Instagram; IMDb )

Devdas is one of the most iconic and successful films in Indian cinema’s history. It starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played his love interest, Paro. Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff also played pivotal roles. But did you know most of them weren’t the first choice of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali? Scroll below for some insightful details!

Based on a novel by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the film revolves around a wealthy law graduate who returns from London to marry his childhood love. He delves into alcoholism and eventually destruction after his family rejects their relationship. It was the most expensive film made then, with a budget of approximately 44 crores.

Here’s a list of 5 actors who rejected Devdas:

1. Manoj Bajpayee

Manoj Bajpayee was among the possible options for the role of Chunnillal. However, he was doing only leading roles then and wanted to avoid playing a supporting character. He even openly said that he wanted to play the role of Devdas, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali had satisfactorily narrowed down on Shah Rukh Khan.

2. Govinda

The first actor in mind for Chunnillal was Govinda. He was a superstar then and did not want to play a side character. The Coolie No 1 actor also agreed to play, given the condition Shah Rukh Khan calls him and convinces him in the name of friendship. That’s what he told Sanjay Leela Bhansali, but it is unknown why things did not eventually work out.

3. Saif Ali Khan

After multiple rejections, Saif Ali Khan was approached for Chunnilal, but the actor reportedly demanded a huge paycheck. But he later clarified and claimed Sanjay Leela Bhansali closed the chapter without any discussion, so he did not really turn down the offer.

Ultimately, Jackie Shroff was roped in to play the supporting character and cine goers hailed him for his spectacular performance!

4. Kareena Kapoor Khan

Bebo had declared she would never work with Sanjay Leela Bhansali after their Devdas fallout. Kareena Kapoor Khan was finalized for the role of Paro and was even paid the signing amount. Out of the blue, she was dropped from the film and replaced by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. It was the start of her career and a huge blow for the actress, who later rejected Bajirao Mastani.

5. Salman Khan

Many would be shocked to hear that Salman Khan was the first choice to play Devdas. SLB knew his strengths and weaknesses after they worked together in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

However, Salman Khan rejected the offer, which gave a freeway for Shah Rukh Khan to be signed as Devdas. And honestly, we aren’t complaining!
