Actor Vidya Balan says there’s something about superstar Shah Rukh Khan that makes people accept anything he tells them on screen.
Vidya was at the Jio MAMI Movie Mela on Saturday when she mentioned that her all-time favourite Hindi film character is that played by Shah Rukh Khan in Kundan Shah’s Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, which also featured Suchitra Krishnamoorthi.

“He is awkward, foolish and even a lying guy (liar) in the film, but you just can’t help but root for the guy and that’s what SRK’s eyes do. He tells you anything on the screen and you would buy it. No wonder he endorses so many products,” Vidya quipped.

Vidya also spoke about her upcoming film Tumhari Sulu.
On her character in the film, she said: “Sulu is someone who doesn’t care about what others think and I love that about her. Not in a selfish way, of course, but she only cares about what she wants.”
'Don 3' is currently at the centre of a Rs 45 crore dispute, a FWICE ban, and an industry-wide fallout. The franchise has never been messier. Shah Rukh Khan's version has never looked more untouchable.
2026 brings a rare Bollywood reunion as Salman, Shah Rukh, and Aamir Khan return with big films and powerful roles. From war stories to action thrillers, the Khans light up the year together.
'The Last Tenant' is a long-shelved film starring Vidya Balan and Irrfan Khan that was shot 25 years ago but never released at the time. It has now finally been made available to audiences on YouTube after decades of delay.
