This Times of India article summarizes revelations made by veteran Bollywood comedian Johnny Lever during interviews about working with Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) in the early 1990s, particularly during films like Karan Arjun and Baazigar. Lever recalled that, early in his career, SRK struggled with both dance and action sequences, often needing multiple retakes during shoots[1]. Salman Khan, who was already confident in these areas, would sometimes tease SRK about these shortcomings[1]. Lever contrasted SRK with Salman, noting that while Salman was a natural and often completed scenes in a single take, SRK had to work much harder to achieve the same results[1]. Despite these initial challenges, Lever emphasized SRK's dedication and perseverance, crediting his hard work for later excelling in both dancing and action, ultimately becoming a superstar[1]. Lever also highlighted that when they worked together on Baazigar, he (Lever) was actually more famous than Shah Rukh, whose star was still rising, but their rapport was strong[3]. The article reinforces how SRK's rise in Bollywood was not just due to talent, but also his relentless effort to improve his craft, especially in areas where he initially struggled[3].
