Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has won hearts worldwide, with even fellow actors naming him their favorite. Recently, Huma Qureshi recalled a moment on an ad shoot with him, calling him her all-time favorite. After Shah Rukh went out of his way to paint her toenails, she was so awestruck that she called her mother, simply saying, “There is God.”
In an interview with Mashable India, Huma Qureshi shared her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and recalled her first encounter with him during an ad shoot for a paint company. At the time, she was new to the industry, having not yet appeared in a film. In the ad, she portrayed Khan’s pregnant wife, and in one touching scene, he painted her toenails.
Reflecting on the experience, she said, “So that day I think I called my mother and said, there is a God. You know, and he listens to people’s prayers because I got to work even on an ad shoot with my favorite actor in the world.”
Huma also reacted to a photo of herself with King Khan, calling it ‘such a lovely picture’ and expressing her admiration for him as her ‘most favorite actor in the whole wide world’. She shared that the moment was captured at an event as both their cars arrived simultaneously.
