Farhan Akhtar Recalls Shah Rukh Khan’s Neck Massage Mishap on Don’s Paris Set

The lighthearted recollection from Mid-Day’s Sit With Hitlist underscores a long relationship that traces back to the years after Dil Chahta Hai.

Overview

  • In a new Sit With Hitlist interview published on November 26, Farhan Akhtar shares a behind-the-scenes story from Don’s opening schedule in Paris.
  • He says the cold weather left him with a severe neck ache during the final leg of the shoot following the Malaysia schedule.
  • According to Akhtar, Shah Rukh Khan massaged his neck and gave him a pill, but his neck was "completely jammed" the next morning.
  • Akhtar presents the episode as affectionate humor, quipping that Khan excels at many things except deep-tissue massage.
  • He places the anecdote within a bond that began after Dil Chahta Hai and grew during Lakshya prep in Delhi, a rapport later reflected in their Don collaboration and now echoed in entertainment outlets.
