Shah Rukh Khan jokes about his transparent shirt in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham; says, “Jab bhi main ye dekhta hoon, thoda sa shy ho jata hoon” : Bollywood News

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan found himself in a decidedly cheeky mood during a recent fan interaction in Mumbai, when he reflected on the filming of his iconic song with a self-deprecating twist. The memory in question comes from the 2001 blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (K3G), directed by Karan Johar, during the now-legendary ‘Suraj Hua Maddham’ sequence.

During the session, Khan burst into laughter when a still from the song’s shoot appeared on the screen. He exclaimed, “Mujhe ye nahin pata tha ki meri shirt itni transparent hogi. Jab maine badi screen par dekha, tab realise hua, ‘Oye ye kya hai, main toh nanga hoon!’”

He then added with further humour, “That was odd. Mere toh muscles bhi aise nahin the jaise ab hai. Jab bhi main ye dekhta hoon, thoda sa shy ho jata hoon. Mujhe lagta hai ki is film mein mujhe exploit kiya gaya tha.”

The actor’s candid admission offers a fresh lens on a scene deeply ingrained in Hindi-cinema memory: the romantic number shot in Egypt, featuring Khan and Kajol amid sweeping desert dunes and dramatic backdrops.

K3G, rounded out by the ensemble of Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kajol, remains one of Khan’s most celebrated films.

The light-hearted revelation came on Khan’s 60th birthday, when he spent the day interacting with roughly 200 of his fans. He also took a moment to reflect on past box-office disappointments like Ra.One (2011), his son Aryan Khan’s forthcoming directorial series, and his next big-screen venture, King, which marks the theatrical debut of his daughter Suhana Khan.

In sum: What started as a fan-interaction turned into a moment of unguarded honesty from an actor known for his charismatic confidence. Shah Rukh’s admission that he felt “exploited” by the transparency of his shirt is funny, unexpected and very human.
