Actor-choreographer Jason Tham
Choreographer and actor, Jason Tham who is popular for his stint in TV shows like 'Dil Dosti Dance', 'Sanjeevni 2' and 'Agent Raghav', along with Bollywood movies such as 'Happy Phir Bhag Jaayegi' and 'Rocket Gang', is a true blue Shah Rukh Khan fan just like any other Indian.
And today being Shah Rukh Khan's 57th birthday, Tham shared what he feels about King Khan. "It's King Khan's birthday and the whole world will be experiencing the same emotion for him. That's the power of King Khan. He has shown the world that there is only one religion and that is hard work which I live by. I have been fortunate enough to work with him and also meet him a couple of times. That man is a gem, a charmer, truly humble, highly respected and is fuelled with humility," says Tham.
Ask Tham about what was his first reaction when he came to know that he will be sharing the screen with SRK, to which Tham replies, "I used to choreograph reality shows and Farah (Khan) ma'am happened to judge one of the reality shows. She called me to her vanity and asked me if I wanted to be part of a film. She said you'll be part of the Korean team opposite Shah Rukh Khan. First I thought she was joking, but then I realised why she would. I was numb for a few seconds. I wanted to scream and shout out of joy but had to keep a calm face."

Tham who is mesmerised by Shah Rukh's charm and unmatchable wit, recalled the fondest memory of working with the mega star. He says, "No matter how big or small the role, I remember him giving advice to make the scene look better."
Further he throws a light on his overall working experience with the Badshah of Bollywood. "It was a dream to work with him and I couldn't ask for more. Being with him I realised that no matter where you reach in life, always remember you're a human first. When someone asks me about one superstar who I look up to, it doesn't even take me a second to say it's Shah Rukh Khan," asserts Tham.
When asked what would he wish for the star on his birthday. "I wish him all the luck and love. And one dialogue, "Haso, gao, jiyo, muskurao. Kya pata, kal ho na ho...!", concludes Tham.
