Not every day you get the opportunity to work with someone like Shahrukh Khan. And for Sunny Leone also it was a dream come true! The actress has done a special number 'Laila O Laila' in SRK's upcoming film Raees.

And she recently revealed about her interesting first meeting with Shahrukh Khan on the sets of Raees. Read about it below.

When Sunny Met SRK On Raees's Sets

In a recent interview to Bollywood Life, Sunny Leone said, "The funniest thing was the first time I met Shahrukh Khan on the set. I was exiting the set, I saw him, we started talking. I told him ‘Thank you so much for having me as part of the song. I am so excited'. Again a lot of thank yous, and he said ‘No! We are happy to have you.'"

What Happened Next....

Sunny continued and added, "Then I go back to my vanity and the lady who did my hair, she had put my hair in this big gigantic helmet curl thingy, and I said to myself ‘Really? That's what you look like when meet Shahrukh Khan?'. It's not even possible for me to be cool for like half a second, and just say hello, meet properly. Instead, I just looked weird. "Do you know what I mean? No? I'll show you."

Sunny Also Met Aryan & AbRam

In an interview to a daily, Sunny Leone said, "We engaged in casual conversations about life and family. While his younger son, AbRam, would run around the set all day, the older one, Aryan, hopped in a few times."

Sharing The Same Frame With SRK Was A Dream Come True

"I have lost count of the number of times my mother and I have cried watching 'Kal Ho Na Ho' (2003). Now, sharing the same frame with him was like a dream come true."

Working With Shahrukh Khan Can Alter My Life

"If I have reached a stage where I am working with SRK, then a lot of younger kids, who believe in hard work and perseverance, can achieve it too. Working with him can be a turning point; it can alter my career."

Sunny Leone, who will be dancing to the iconic track, 'Laila O Laila', admits that a comparison with the original is inevitable. "But, this song is more an ode to the original, than a remake. I hope I have done justice to it."

When a fan asked Sunny about her Raees co-star SRK and any fun moments from the sets, Sunny replied, "I liked shooting the most. It was a lifetime opportunity for me, and I enjoyed it a lot. As far as the fun moment is concerned, everything was fun, the best thing was I was shooting with Shahrukh Khan."

She added, "When I got the call for Laila Main Laila, I was like are you sure you have called the right number. It took me a while to believe it but I am so happy that I got this opportunity. I heard the song like 10 million times, I practiced for 7-10 days. I had to work 12 hours a day. The shooting was fun. I was nervous at the sets but Shahrukh and everyone really made me comfortable."
