There is a genuineness in his eyes that we all can see – that reflects on-screen. In my opinion, he even can romance a microphone.”

To this, Shah Rukh replied: “As long as you are holding the mic, darling!” The evening started with a live performance by Pritam where he sang the song live and went on to show it on the big screen.
