When SRK refused to get into a swimming pool

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is known for his confidence, charisma and wit. However, what we don't know is that King Khan is quiet shy When it comes to shooting for movies, SRK is smart, sleek and oozes confidence. However, in real Shah Rukh is rather bashful.

Talking to the media at a recent event, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about his shy nature. He said that he was wearing a pair of shorts and was feeling rather awkward when he was shooting for the song Dard-e-Disco from Om Shanti Om. There was a scene where he had to get into water wearing trunks. However, when he saw that there were many female dancers around, SRK chickened out and requested the production team to ask those dancers to leave. It was only after they left that SRK went inside the pool.

He also recalled an incident when he was flying on a British Airways airline and the air hostess asked him his choice of menu. However, since he could not understand her accent, he had to stay hungry during the entire flight.
