Karan Tacker recalls being starstruck meeting Shah Rukh Khan at Yash Raj Studios

Actor Karan Tacker is in talks for his back-to-back releases, making him busy for now,  but when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan, he still talks like a fanboy. In a recent chat, Karan recalled the very first time he met the superstar, and unsurprisingly, it happened at Yash Raj Studios.

Karan’s journey began with a small stint in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan, produced under the Yash Raj Films banner.

In an  recent interview with Indian Express, Karan shared “That’s the first time that I met Shah Rukh Khan ever in person. It was at Yash Raj Studios again, where the awards were being held, and his make-up room was right opposite mine. YRF has this line of make-up rooms and his door was open. I was trying to peek in because, of course, you want to see him — he is your hero. I had a very small interaction, just a hello, and then I saw him straight on stage. Like anyone would, because of who he is, it was so intimidating but at the same time I was so happy to just be there.”

Years later, Karan hosted an award show where SRK joined him on stage. That clip—where a visibly smitten Karan can’t stop staring at Shah Rukh, still resurfaces online.
