John Abraham, currently starring in Vedaa, showered praise on his Pathaan co-star Shah Rukh Khan recently. On the TV chat show Aapka Apna Zakir, the actor revealed that Shah Rukh gifted him a bike in celebration of their film's tremendous success last year. As Vedaa continues to perform well at the box office, the cast—John Abraham, Sharvari Wagh, Abhishek Banerjee, and director Nikkhil Advani—has been actively promoting the film.
Recently, they shared intriguing anecdotes about their lives and reflected on memorable moments in the industry. Recalling his last film with Shah Rukh Khan, John said, "My last film Pathaan was with him. I remember there was a success party after the film's release, and Shah Rukh was like, ‘Come on John, let’s party! Apni picture chal rahi hai. Achha opening mila hai. Maine bola nahi mujhe sona hai. ‘Kya, sona hai?’ ‘Han, mujhe sona hai.’ Toh unhone bola kya chahiye tumhe? Maine bola ek motorcycle de do bas. Toh unhone mujhe motorcycle gift ki. Main khush ho ke gaya ghar. (Our film is doing well. It's got a good opening. I said no, I've to sleep. ‘What, you’ve to sleep?' ‘Yes, I’ve to sleep.' So he asked me, ‘What do you want?’ I said just gift me a motorcycle. So he gifted me one. I went home happy)."
