The Romantics: Shah Rukh Khan reveals how he perfected his stammer in Darr: ‘I only stammer on the word Kiran’

SRK says, “I had a classmate who had a stammer, and then we did some little study, some BBC documentary where they talked about that people's minds become aware of one sound, and it's like a sharp current. So, you can't say the word because you become aware of a sound. Let's make him aware of the woman he loves the most, her name. So, I only stammer on the word Kiran. It was just for that one word because he's so aware of her.”

He adds, “I had some really fantastically stupid ideas as I remember once going to Adi and saying, can I make this phone call hanging upside down? Adi said ‘Dad won't allow that.’ Sometimes he would come and tell me to listen I think dad is not going to take a close-up of this. I think you did very well. So, you suggest, if I do it, he'll turn me down. So, we were like the filters who kind of help each other with Yash Ji.”
