Sharib
Hashmi
essayed
the
role
of
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
character
Samar's
best
friend
Zain
in
Yash
Chopra's
2012
film
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan
which
also
starred
Katrina
Kaif
and
Anushka
Sharma.
The
actor
in
his
recent
interview
with
a
leading
tabloid,
recalled
how
he
had
almost
fainted
when
King
Khan
introduced
himself
on
the
first
day
of
shoot.
An
Indian
Express
report
quoted
Sharib
as
saying,
"My
first
day
of
shoot
was
also
my
first
scene
in
the
film
when
Samar
(Shah
Rukh
Khan)
removes
the
bedsheet
from
my
character
Zain's
face.
I
was
rehearsing
that
scene
with
an
assistant
director.
In
one
instance
when
the
bedsheet
got
removed,
I
saw
SRK
himself
standing
there.
He
told
me
"Hi
I'm
Shah
Rukh," and
I
almost
fainted.
The
Filmistaan
actor
said
that
post
pack-up,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
complimented
him
as
a
good
actor
and
said
that
he
enjoyed
working
with
me.
"After
the
shoot
and
pack-up,
Shah
Rukh
sir
told
me
that
he
enjoyed
working
with
me
and
I
was
a
very
good
actor.
Even
Yash
Chopra
sir
complimented
me.
He
said,
"Tu
Punjab
se
hai
kya
(Are
you
from
Punjab)?"
I
told
him
I'm
born
and
brought
up
in
Mumbai
and
I'm
not
even
a
Punjabi.
He
said
I
was
doing
very
well.
So
my
first
day
will
always
remain
special
and
memorable,"
Sharib
recounted
while
speaking
with
the
tabloid.
He
further
added,
"I
met
SRK
at
the
film's
premiere
later.
He
met
me
very
warmly.
My
wife
is
his
huge
fan
so
when
she
met
him,
she
got
extremely
excited.
She
still
says
she
remembers
his
perfume."
Further,
the
actor
recalled
another
meeting
with
the
superstar
at
an
award
ceremony
and
shared,
"I
also
met
him
when
I
received
the
Screen
Award
for
Filmistaan
(2014).
SRK
was
hosting
that
segment
and
when
my
name
got
announced,
he
said
Sharib
is
a
very
good
actor
and
my
friend.
Just
hearing
that
from
him
is
so
special."
