Rapper Badshah is celebrating his 39th birthday today, November 18, 2024. The star, who got his name inspired by Shah Rukh Khan‘s film Baadshah, once shared a memorable moment involving the two Khans.
During an appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast last year, Badshah reminisced about a special backstage meeting with Salman and Shah Rukh at an awards show. This moment was significant, as it marked the first time the two superstars had reconciled after their infamous fallout following Katrina Kaif‘s 2008 birthday party. The reconciliation was a major talking point in Bollywood, and for Badshah, it was a memorable experience to witness their bond rekindling.
He recalled how his manager told him that Shah Rukh had personally called him. When Badshah arrived, he was surprised to find Salman there as well.
Badshah recalled being in the room while the two Khans chatted, and he quietly observed them. As the conversation continued, the Khans offered him biryani and exchanged anecdotes. Badshah, enjoying the moment, eventually had to leave, but the experience left a lasting impression.
In a previous interview with The Lallantop, Badshah shared his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, recalling an invitation to the actor’s home, Mannatto collaborate on a song for Zero. The rapper praised SRK for being a free thinker and highlighted his humility. He also noted how self-aware the superstar is, making him even more impressive in Badshah’s eyes.
Badshah further described Shah Rukh Khan as a person of strong principles, noting that when SRK says “no,” it is final, and similarly, his “yes” is also firm. The rapper admired SRK’s openness to learning and sharing knowledge. He mentioned that King Khan has no boundaries to his thinking and is particularly fond of nighttime over daytime. This candid insight into SRK’s personality reflected a deep respect for his authenticity and open-mindedness.
