Actor remembers ‘uncomfortable’ night"},"content":{"rendered":"

Actor Gulshan Devaiah<\/a> recently reflected on a memorable night at Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>\u2019s iconic residence, Mannat \u2014 one that left him feeling uneasy and out of place. Speaking to Bollywood<\/a> Bubble, the Kantara Chapter 1 actor recounted how an invitation to an afterparty hosted by Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan<\/a> turned into a moment of self-reflection about belonging and comfort in Bollywood\u2019s inner circles.<\/p>\n

Gulshan addressed a long-standing misconception about his visit. Some reports had suggested that he \u201cbarged\u201d into Mannat, but he clarified the story himself. \u201cI didn\u2019t barge in, I was invited. Agar Shah Rukh Khan ke ghar mai ghusa hota toh abhi jail mai hota (If I had barged in Shah Rukh\u2019s house, I would have been in jail). Some journalist must have heard the word gatecrash for the first time in an English movie, and that is why they used that,\u201d he explained, putting the rumors to rest.<\/p>\n

The actor recalled the context of the invitation, stating that the gathering followed the announcement of the 2012 Filmfare nominations. While he was expected to be nominated, the results were not announced in his segment, prompting him to attend the party along with his wife, Kallirroi Tziafeta, and fellow industry colleagues Anurag Kashyap and Kalki Koechlin. \u201cAnurag and Kalki were a little hesitant at first, but Shah Rukh insisted, and asked them to bring me along as well,\u201d Gulshan said.
A Feeling of Being an OutsiderDespite the warm welcome, the actor admitted that he struggled to feel comfortable. \u201cThe entrance of Mannat isn\u2019t where people think it is. It\u2019s actually a separate road that takes you there\u2026 I stayed there for about three hours and I was very uncomfortable during the whole time. I felt like I didn\u2019t belong there,\u201d he shared. He described seeing several high-profile personalities, including Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar, and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, which contributed to his sense of unease.
However, Gulshan noted that Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan were exceptionally kind and welcoming, making an effort to put him at ease. \u201cShah Rukh and Gauri Khan were very sweet to me even though it\u2019s not their job to make me feel comfortable,\u201d he added. He also found solace in interacting with Australian actor Joel Edgerton, with whom he had a lengthy conversation and felt a shared sense of being an outsider in the crowd. The Lesson he learnt<\/p>\n

Gulshan said the Mannat experience ultimately helped him grow. Spending those three hours feeling out of place became a turning point, making him aware of his own insecurities about belonging in the industry. \u201cThose people are all high achievers,\u201d he reflected, adding that such situations taught him the importance of being at ease wherever his career takes him.<\/p>\n

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is currently filming his next big project, King, an action thriller directed by Siddharth Anand, known for Pathaan. The film features Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Raghav Juyal in key roles. After delivering consecutive hits with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, SRK will share the screen with his daughter Suhana for the first time. King, slated for a 2026 release, also marks his return to full-on action role following a cameo in Aryan Khan\u2019s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*.<\/p>\n
