Recalling the incident, Shekhar said, \u201cI remember when Shah Rukh was making Chalte Chalte and he needed my voice for the commentary in the film. So when the teaser came, he called me up directly after that, \u2018Hi, it\u2019s Shah Rukh.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Yeah, Shah Rukh.\u2019 He said, \u2018I would want you to come and give your voiceover for this.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ll come.\u2019 So I just went across and did that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shekhar further shared that Shah Rukh later sent him a cheque for the work, but he refused to accept it. He added, \u201cAnd he sent me a big cheque. And I said, \u2018Look, this is between two friends, you know, this is not for money at all.\u2019 But he wouldn\u2019t listen. Shah Rukh being Shah Rukh, he sent me a very expensive watch the next time, which I still have. And it\u2019s a beautiful memento.\u201d<\/p>\n
