Since then, the duo has continued to captivate audiences with a series of successful collaborations, including ‘Chennai Express’, ‘Happy New Year’, ‘Pathaan’, and ‘Jawan’. The blockbuster film ‘Jawan’, which was released in 2023 and earned over 1000 crores at the global box office, showcased their undeniable chemistry once again. In ‘Jawan’, Deepika took on a pivotal extended cameo role as Aishwarya Rathore, the wife of Shah Rukh Khan’s character Vikram Rathore.

Shah Rukh Khan fooled Deepika Padukone to act in ‘Jawan’

At the film`s success press conference last year, Shah Rukh Khan playfully revealed that he and director Atlee had misled Deepika into thinking her role was just a small cameo. “Deepika is feeling the most awkward, I will tell you why, because she feels, ‘main toh dosti me chhota sa role karne aa gayi thi,’ but between me and Atlee, we fooled her and shot a full-length movie with her. When she saw the film she was like, ‘Oh I am one of the main characters’… but thank you Deepika from the bottom of our hearts for being part of this film,” Shah Rukh remarked, affectionately referring to her as “a family.”
