John Abraham reveals Shah Rukh Khan gave him 'best kiss'
What's the story
Bollywood stars John Abraham and Shah Rukh Khan, who co-starred in the 2023 blockbuster Pathaan, have been making headlines with rumors of a feud.
However, in a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Abraham gave a different insight into their equation.
He remembered a memorable kiss from Khan himself at the success party of Pathaan.
"That's probably the best kiss I have got in my life and it is from Shah Rukh Khan and not from a woman," he said.
Admiration expressed
Abraham praised Khan's charm and graciousness
Abraham further praised Khan, describing him as "a beautiful man, a beautiful human being, and very gracious."
He said that Khan is "so charming."
Abraham claimed that his manager "once said that (SRK) taught us the idea of love and he brought the world crashing down after that. He is like the perfect man when he puts his hands out."
Role reversal
Abraham's shift in perception of Khan's acting
Abraham also spoke about how his perception of Khan's acting skills has changed. He said he used to think he was an action hero but now thinks that Khan is the country's biggest action hero.
"I don't think he (Khan) is an actor anymore, he is an emotion," he said, adding he nearly went to kiss Khan in many scenes, thanks to their close working relationship.
