Shah Rukh Khan praises Deepika and credits her for giving the ‘sexiest fight scene’ in the film

Pathaan, starring Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan, is an unstoppable box office powerhouse and one of the first to cross the 700 crore mark internationally. Fans can’t get enough of Deepika Padukone’s Besharam Rang and Shah Rukh Khan’s victorious return to the big screen.

After the breakthrough of Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year, the onscreen duo has quickly become Bollywood’s golden couple, and have made a mark yet again with ‘Pathaan,’ the most popular Bollywood film post-pandemic. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have always produced magic on screen, and the superstar even crooned ‘Aankhon Mein Teri’ to Deepika on stage to celebrate the film’s success.

Shah Rukh Khan also credited the film’s ‘sexiest combat sequence’ to the industry’s bona fide queen. King Khan jokingly said, “Many people have seen it and voh trailer mein bhi hai, ek admi se lipatkar, ghoomakar, usko neeche girake, uspe chadkar usko maarti hai…mere saath aisa karle…itna pyaar hai uske andar…I’m toh jealous of that guy ki yaar itne kareeb se itni khoobsurati aur uske upper baitkar…main bolta ‘aur maar aur maar’ (Many people have seen it already and it’s also in the trailer where Deepika Padukone in the action scene, jumps onto someone, flips him, drops him to the floor and hits him, I wish she did that with me. I’m jealous of that guy for being so close to someone so beautiful. If it were me, I would have said “hit me more, hit me more…(laughs)..)” Adding with impact, “If I may say so, I think it’s one of the sexiest action scenes that I have seen.
