¡°It was in London for a film festival. We all were hanging out and I saw Shah Rukh coming up a very narrow aisle somewhere in the hotel, with a drunk girl hanging on to him. He was dealing with her so gracefully without demeaning her. Gauri (Khan) was also with him and everybody was trying to deal with this crazy fan. He was particularly being nice to the girl. When he saw me, he stopped, and we had quite a long conversation even as the girl kept murmuring ¡®Oh Shah Rukh, Oh Shah Rukh¡¯ all over him. He was dealing with her like how one would deal with a scarf. He put her arm on one side of the shoulder and continued to talk to me. He asked me to come and tell him the stories of my films. It was just post-Jab We Met,¡± DNA quoted the ace filmmaker as saying.
