It all started with Vibha heaping praises on her Chak De India co-star. She asserted, “Shah Rukh sir was such a nice person to talk to, very humble. He knew that all of us were new, so we were scared and he had experience. An actor gets an actor. To work with him was an amazing experience, I have never worked with a co-star like him. When I had to shoot our first scene together, I was so nervous, my heart was pounding.”

The actress further added, “Shah Rukh and I were doing our lines. He was walking, drinking coffee. Then he came in front of me and pretended to throw coffee — that startled me! It was a prank to ease me out and we both started laughing. From there a Delhi connection was established, along with Barry John and theatre! I became quite comfortable with him after that.”

As the conversation progressed, Chibber continued, “My daughter would miss me a lot, that time she was 11, and would cry. One day Shah Rukh sir spoke to her and she was so happy! He told me even he doesn’t like outdoor shootings, as he prefers being with his children at home. Whenever we have met after that, he hugs me and remembers me, which is just so beautiful because a star like him meets so many people in a day!”

For the unversed, helmed by Shimit Amin, the sports drama was released in 2007.

Coming to the professional front, King Khan has already given two back-to-back blockbusters this year, Pathaan and Jawan. Currently, he is awaiting the release of Dunki. The Rajkumar Hirani directorial is slated to release on December 21.
