When Shah Rukh Khan opened up on Priyanka Chopra affair rumors

Shah Rukh Khan, known for his charm and dedication to his family, has always been a respected figure in Bollywood. His marriage to Gauri Khan has stood strong for decades. However, during the filming of Don 2 in 2011, rumors surfaced about his alleged affair with co-star Priyanka Chopra.

Shah Rukh Khan rarely reacts to gossip, but in an old interview, he spoke about the controversy. He expressed disappointment over the way Priyanka was being treated due to the rumors. He stated, “She is one of the closest people in my life, very close to my heart, and always will be.” He felt that questioning their friendship was unfair and disrespectful.

During that time, reports suggested that Shah Rukh’s wife, Gauri Khan, was unhappy with the situation. Speculation arose that she had asked him not to work with Priyanka again. Despite this, neither Shah Rukh nor Priyanka ever publicly confirmed any relationship beyond friendship.

Shah Rukh also acknowledged Priyanka’s career growth, stating that he had seen her rise from her early days as Miss World. He admired her dedication and found it unfortunate that baseless rumors could tarnish a genuine friendship.
