Shah Rukh Khan left Wamiqa Gabbi speechless. The actress was promoting her upcoming movie “Bhool Chook Maf” when she recalled her first meeting with the superstar. It was awkward, she said.
Wamiqa’s brother had jokingly suggested she cut her vein if Shah Rukh came near her. They both burst out laughing. But when Shah Rukh actually approached her, Wamiqa told him about her brother’s joke. There was an awkward silence.
Shah Rukh wished Wamiqa good luck and left. After he was gone, a crew member rushed to Wamiqa and asked if she had just said something about cutting her vein. Wamiqa thought Shah Rukh would understand the humor, but he didn’t.
Wamiqa’s movie “Bhool Chook Maf” is set to release in theaters on May 23. The film had been in the news after its producer announced it would premiere on Prime Video. Multiplex chain PVR INOX took the producers to court, challenging the decision to release it directly on the streaming platform. The issue was later resolved, and the film will now hit theaters.
