Jawan child actor talks about Shah Rukh Khan
Child actor Seeza Saroj Mehta played the role of Nayanthara’s daughter and Shah Rukh Khan‘s step-daughter Suji in the film. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Mehta spoke about her experience of doing the film. Talking about her first day of shoot, she shared, “I got scared on the first day of the shoot as I didn’t know where and how Shah Rukh uncle would come, and when I looked back, he was standing there. He asked my name and asked, ‘Do you know me?’ I said no.”
Mehta also asked SRK if she can see his vanity from the inside. In response, King Khan took her inside and also gave her chocolates. She revealed that director Atlee also gave her chocolates whenever she delivered good scenes. Recalling an early morning shoot, Mehta said that she shot a scene with Shah Rukh at 3 in the morning. “I was feeling sleepy, but then I got a call from the first set to be there. I ran, and I wanted to do the punch scene with Shah Rukh uncle. I was so excited that all my sleep was gone”, she added.
In the same interview, Mehta also praised Ridhi Dogra and said that she wasn’t aware that Nayanthara and SRK were famous.
