Shah Rukh Khan worked with Priyanka Chopra in Don and Don 2.
Shah Rukh Khan was said to be secretly dating Priyanka Chopra during the shoot of Don 2. However, both of them denied the rumours calling them untrue.
Shah Rukh Khan’s close friend Vivek Vaswani, who launched the actor in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, has opened up about SRK’s dating rumours with Priyanka Chopra. Shah Rukh and Priyanka were said to be secretly dating during the shoot of Don 2. However, Vivek has clarified that SRK has been “a one-woman man all his life”.
While speaking on Siddharth Kannan’s YouTube channel, Vivek addressed Shah Rukh’s alleged relationships and whether there was any truth to those rumours. “Relationship? Means? Sexual relationship? No. He’s not that sort. I don’t know where the rumours came from,” he recalled. “Ghar mein reh rahe the, mummy daddy the, tension tha, career tha, jaldi se Gauri se shadi karni thi, usme relationship kaise ayega (We were living in the same house, my parents were there, there was tension, stress about career, he had to get married to Gauri, where would a relationship be in all of this)? There was a relationship of friendship but there was no relationship of sex?”
He further said that as Shah Rukh became a superstar, there was a lot of stuff written about him. “It is not true. In fact, from the time I have known him, he has been a one-woman man all his life. How many flings have you heard of? We have had one rumour of Priyanka Chopra, that also its a rumour but what else have we heard of Shah Rukh? Nothing. He’s not that kind of a person.”
Over her two-decade long career in Bollywood, Priyanka was linked to Shahid Kapoor, Harman Baweja and SRK, but the actress never confirmed dating any of them. On Alex Cooper’s podcast Call Her Daddy, Priyanka opened up about her love life and how at one point she went from “relationship to relationship”.
“I did not give myself time at all between relationships… I think I worked a lot and I always ended up dating the actors that I worked with. And I think that I just thought I had an idea of what a relationship should be like, and I kept seeking that and trying to fit the people that came into my life into my idea of that relationship,” she said.
Priyanka tied the knot with Nick Jonas in 2018. They welcomed a daughter together, named Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. While SRK has been married to Gauri Khan for 22 years. They have three kids together.
