Actor Radhika Apte recently shared an amusing and memorable incident involving Shah Rukh Khan, recalling how she once missed a call from the superstar after mistaking it for a prank. Reported by NDTV.
Radhika, who is currently receiving appreciation for her OTT release Saali Mohabbat, opened up about the incident during a conversation with Mashable India. She revealed that Shah Rukh Khan had called her to praise her performance in the 2018 film Andhadhun.
Recalling the moment, Radhika said, “Hum khaana kha rahe the. Toh mujhe missed call tha koi. Maine kaha koi missed call hai dekhte hain. Uske baad message aaya uss hi number se, 'Radhika, this is Shah Rukh Khan.
Please call me back'” (We were having food when I noticed a missed call. So I said there’s a missed call; let’s check. After that, a message came from the same number saying, ‘Radhika, this is Shah Rukh Khan. Please call me back’).
Initially assuming it was a prank, the actress later confirmed the number with her agent. Once she was assured that it was indeed Shah Rukh Khan, she immediately returned the call.
Sharing details of the conversation, Radhika added, “Woh bole ki, ‘I just want to tell you ki I saw Andhadhun. I really loved your performance. Aur main sirf yeh bolne ke liye phone kiya tha’” (He said, ‘I just wanted to tell you that I saw Andhadhun. I really loved your performance, and I called only to say that’).
Radhika also spoke fondly about meeting Shah Rukh Khan at a party, where she was touched by his warmth and humility. “He found me because I don't like to go and say, ‘Please, I like you.’ So he came to me, put his arm around me, and chatted with me for half an hour. And he was so sweet. It was really nice,” she recalled.
Meanwhile, Saali Mohabbat, Radhika Apte’s latest release, is a drama-thriller set in a small town. The film follows the life of an ordinary housewife whose routine existence is disrupted when betrayal, secrets, and tension come to light after two unsettling deaths.
The film also stars Sauraseni Maitra, Divyendu Sharma, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Anurag Kashyap, and is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Dinesh Malhotra, Vipin Agnihotri, and Manish Malhotra.
