Eijaz Khan revealed how he often turns to Salman for guidance on both career and life matters, while also highlighting the qualities that make Shah Rukh the undisputed “King” of Bollywood.
Eijaz Khan, a versatile actor known for his work in numerous Hindi films, television shows, and streaming series, has had the privilege of sharing the screen with some of Bollywood’s biggest stars, including Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Recently, Eijaz opened up about their generous personalities, praising their willingness to help others.
He revealed how he often turns to Salman for guidance on both career and life matters, while also highlighting the qualities that make Shah Rukh the undisputed “King” of Bollywood.
Eijaz Khan on taking advice from Salman Khan
Eijaz, who collaborated with Salman Khan during his time as a contestant on Bigg Boss Season 14, described the superstar as a sharp and insightful individual whose advice always carries weight. “Salman is incredibly intelligent. I think it stems from his upbringing, with his father, Salim Khan, being one of the greatest writers in the industry. He’s witnessed superstardom from such a young age and managed to sustain it for so many years. Whatever advice he offers is always meaningful,” Eijaz shared in a conversation with Bollywood Bubble.
He went on to say, “Even during Bigg Boss, when Salman used to guide us, I didn’t always understand his words in the moment. But deep down, I knew it was for our own good. Looking back now, I realise he was right about everything. He’s definitely someone I would turn to—not just for career advice but for life lessons too.”
Eijaz on working with SRK
Reflecting on his experience with Shah Rukh Khan while working on Atlee Kumar’s 2023 blockbuster Jawan, Eijaz expressed admiration for the superstar’s humility and generosity. He revealed how Shah Rukh never tries to hog the limelight and instead focuses on uplifting those around him.
“He truly is the king. Wherever he goes, he spreads his blessings. He wants you to shine in his light—he’s not the kind of person who keeps all the glory to himself,” Eijaz remarked.
He added, “Shah Rukh is the last of the superstars. He’s not someone who just sits back on his success. He genuinely wants you to be part of his journey and to see you succeed just as much as he wants to succeed. When he comes on set—when he hugs you, holds your hand, talks to you—it feels like he’s sharing a piece of his blessings with you.”
Eijaz also shared his gratitude for being part of Jawan at this point in his career. “I was incredibly lucky to be a part of this film. Some people even pointed out, ‘Who else has done a film with Shah Rukh after Bigg Boss?’ It feels special.”
The actor was last seen in Rishab Seth’s romantic action comedy Dhoom Dhaam, where he starred alongside Yami Gautam Dhar and Pratik Gandhi.
