Veteran actor Farida Jalal, who was recently seen in Netflix’s Heeramandi, was asked about her movies in the 1990s where she played the favourite on-screen mother to Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Farida said that while she is not in touch with either of them, she recalled when SRK reached out to her during her shoulder surgery.
When asked if she is in touch with Shah Rukh Khan, Farida told India Today, “No, I am not. How do I get to him, tell me? (even) Salman, how do I get to them? You know, they have changed their mobiles or whatever. The number I have of Shah Rukh… I had a shoulder surgery done and he has done many. So, those days I went to his doctor also. He called (me) out of the blue, so sweet na?”
She then shared how SRK pacified her and asked her to be patient after her shoulder surgery. She recalled Shah Rukh saying, “‘Farida ji, I have to tell you, yeh jo shoulder surgery hai na… don’t get impatient. It’s going to take lots of time to get back that movement’. I was very worried why I was not able to lift my arm up. He phoned me, I felt so good when he called. He said, ‘Farida ji, just don’t worry, this takes time. After a year, you’ll be able to lift your arm well. But it takes time, so don’t lose patience’, he said”.
Farida also shared that she wishes to talk to Shah Rukh and Salman but is not able to connect to them anymore.”But now, when I try calling him on that number, because I loved his success, his films, I want to tell him, ‘Bachcha, very good, I am very happy for you,’ but there is nobody on that line. If his secretary is not kind to you then what do you do? I have to go through somebody as I don’t have his number. So, Shah Rukh should think about this. When people want to talk to you what do they do? People like me. Salman also, I used to have his number we used to talk to each other so often, now he must have changed his number, what do I do?,” she concluded.
Farida, 75, played SRK’s mother in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. She also shared the screen with Salman in films like Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge among other films.
