Speculations about a romantic involvement between Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra during the filming of "Don 2" had stirred up controversy in the past. However, close friend Vivek Vaswani has now come forward to address these rumours and set the record straight.
Vaswani, who has been a friend and associate of Shah Rukh Khan since his early days in the industry, clarified in an interview with Siddharth Kannan that there was no truth to the rumours of an extramarital affair between Khan and Chopra. He emphasized that Khan is a committed husband to his wife, Gauri Khan, and a devoted father to their children.
Refuting the claims of a romantic relationship, Vaswani explained that during the time of the alleged affair, Khan was dealing with various pressures, including career stress and the need to marry Gauri. He asserted that there was a strong bond of friendship between Khan and Chopra, but it was never romantic or sexual in nature.
Vaswani's statement sheds light on a chapter in Bollywood's history that had sparked widespread speculation and gossip. Despite the rumours, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra have maintained their professionalism and continued to focus on their respective careers.
Shah Rukh Khan, known as the "King of Bollywood," has recently been seen in the film "Dunki," which received a decent response at the box office. His highly anticipated film "Pathaan," directed by Siddharth Anand and co-starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, was a major success, grossing over 543.22 crores domestically.
The success of "Pathaan" has led to plans for a sequel, "Pathaan 2," which will further expand the spy universe created by Yash Raj Films. The film is expected to set the stage for an epic showdown between Shah Rukh Khan's character and Salman Khan's character in "Tiger vs Pathaan."
As Shah Rukh Khan continues to make waves in the industry with his versatile performances and box-office successes, his personal life remains under scrutiny. However, with Vivek Vaswani's clarification, the rumours of an affair with Priyanka Chopra can finally be put to rest, allowing Khan to focus on his career and family.
