Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 22 (ANI): Actor Shah Rukh Khan on Friday shared his experience of working once again with Deepika Padukone in the action thriller film ‘Jawan’.

SRK on Friday conducted his famous #AskSRK session on X (formerly known as Twitter) where he answered several fans’ questions.

During the session, a user asked him, “How was it being on set with Deepika for the 7th time?”

To which SRK responded, “It’s always a pleasure and happiness working with her.”

Deepika and SRK’s chemistry in the film ‘Jawan’ received a lot of appreciation from the audience.

During the #AskSRK session, a user also asked SRK what was his son AbRam’s reaction after watching ‘Jawan’? to which he replied, “Baap Baap hota hai..!! No no just joking. He loved the fight with the Big guy….he loved it in the climax. #Jawan.”

Another user asked the ‘Chak De India’ actor which of his characters Vikram and Aazad he loved the most in ‘Jawan’?

SRK responded, “Arre how to choose. I loved the fact that they both hug warmly even when they do to each other and kiss when they hug. #Jawan.”

Meanwhile, talking about ‘Jawan’, the film received massive responses from the audience and has become the fourth highest-grossing Hindi film.

On Thursday, the film minted Rs 7.25 crores which took the film’s total India collection to Rs 473.44 crores.
