Pooja Ruparel on Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s Chemistry
In a recent interview, Pooja described the duo’s dynamic as akin to “fire and water.” She stated, “My relationship with SRK began with King Uncle. His life transformed after Deewana. Meeting him again, he remained humble—a true sign of a gentleman. An intelligent and generous person.”
She continued, “Kajol embodies the spirit of a confident feminist. Her energy was infectious. Witnessing two actors—both involved with others—create such palpable chemistry was mesmerizing. They could portray a perfect romance, yet seamlessly revert to friendship once the cameras stopped rolling. It was a remarkable experience for someone like me.”
