Isha Koppikar praises Shah Rukh Khan

Isha Koppikar talked about her working experience with Shah Rukh in Don. “The way you see him, he is exactly like that. Women love him. The way he is in films, in real life, too, he is like that. He won't feel a superstar is sitting, standing in front of you or working. He’ll make you feel comfortable. Khud ka mazaak udaayenge, aapko hasaayenge (He will make fun of himself, make you laugh). He’ll make you feel comfortable by making fun of himself," she said.

She then recalled how Shah Rukh teased during their dance sequence. “Jaise, ‘Arre, yeh aur Priyanka dance kar rahe hain, toh mujhe kyun bulaya? Mujhe kaun dekhega?’ I'm like, 'Aap ko hi dekhega, Priyanka aur mujhe koi nahi dekhega (Like, 'Oh, if she and Priyanka are dancing, why did you call me? Who will see me?' I'm like, 'They will see you, not me and Priyanka'). You know how it is—to make somebody comfortable. Very effortless in his acting, very effortless in his dance. Very suave. Classy—really classy. I mean, a man should be like him. He is a gentleman. He is my kind of man,” she added. The trio featured in the hit song Aaj Ki Raat.
