While as a guest on Indian Idol 12 recently, Shilpa had spoken about how SRK was a supportive co-star. Narrating an incident, she shared how the Bollywood superstar helped her lip-sync the songs of Baazigar.

“Baazigar was my first movie and I was very nervous, but Shah Rukh was very sweet. He used to always calm me down and help me with the scenes. When we were shooting for the song “Ae Mere Humsafar” and I had to lip-sync the lyrics, I was not getting it properly. SRK, being the gentleman that he is, immediately popped in and helped me with the lyrics. He told me a technique to get the lip-sync on point,” Shilpa revealed. On the work front, Shilpa Shetty will be next seen as a judge of India’s Got Talent on Sony TV.
