Shah Rukh Khan is undoubtedly the King of Bollywood. At the same time, he is also a very good person. That’s why Shah Rukh has helped many people associated with the film industry. Some famous artists of the industry are also included among these people, like Gulshan Grover. Yes, you won’t believe it, but Shah Rukh did something for Gulshan Grover that no other artist could ever do. Leave alone doing it, no one could even think of it.
Today, We will tell you the story of Gulshan Grover, whose real hero is the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. After knowing this story, you will also say that Shah Rukh Khan is truly a king.
When Gulshan Got an Offer from Hollywood
In the story of Gulshan Grover, we told you how he faced a lot of difficulties in his studies during childhood and then how he became famous in the world of acting. In Gulshan’s biography, we had mentioned that in his childhood, he sold detergent powder door-to-door and then attended evening school to study.
At that time, some people had said that this was a complete lie. Gulshan was born into a rich family and had never seen such a phase in his life. So, I would like to say to such people that you should read Gulshan Grover’s biography, ‘Bad Man,’ which will be available on Amazon for between three hundred to three and a half rupees. After reading it, you will be convinced that whatever we said about Gulshan is absolutely true.
Well, now let’s come to the story which we mainly want to mention today. This story is from the initial months of the year 1997. Gulshan was working in a film with Shah Rukh Khan. The name of that film was ‘Yes Boss,’ which was released in the same year, i.e., July 1997. While Gulshan was shooting for ‘Yes Boss,’ he got an offer for a Hollywood film, ‘The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli & Baloo.’
Gulshan Grover Stuck in a Dilemma
Gulshan Grover’s dream of working in Hollywood films was a very old one, and he was offered a very important role in the film. That’s why he wanted to go to America and give an audition. But there was a difficulty. The shooting of ‘Yes Boss’ was in full swing. Director Aziz Mirza was diligently shooting ‘Yes Boss.’ In such a situation, Gulshan did not find it right to tell him that he wanted to go to America for a few days to shoot another film.
He was thinking that if he left without informing, Aziz Mirza might sue him or deduct his fees. In such a situation, they would suffer a lot of loss. Gulshan was unable to understand what to do. At one time, he had even decided that he would reject this Hollywood offer. But then Gulshan went to Shah Rukh and showed him the script of that film.
Shah Rukh read the script completely and then told Gulshan that he should immediately take a flight and leave for America. Gulshan expressed his tension to Shah Rukh. He told Shah Rukh how he was worried about what might happen to him if he left the shooting of ‘Yes Boss’ midway and went to America.
Shah Rukh said, “You go. I will take care of everything.” Hearing Gulshan’s problem, Shah Rukh said, “You go away. If you get a call from someone, then you tell me. I will handle the matter here. Go, my friend. Work in that film and do such a good job that we all should be proud of you.” After getting so much trust from Shah Rukh, Gulshan left for America the same night. But another difficulty was waiting for him there.
The makers of that film started feeling that perhaps Gulshan would not be able to do the work as per their requirement. They refused Gulshan. Gulshan was heartbroken. They hired another actor for that role and started shooting with him. But after two days, the director of that film realized that this actor was not right for that role. He again decided to call Gulshan back.
Incidentally, Gulshan was in America at that time and was preparing to return to India. The director of that film called Gulshan’s hotel and called him. When Gulshan approached the director, the director told him that he needed an Indian actor with big eyes for this role, and he had realized that only Gulshan could fit into this role.
And Gulshan’s Hollywood Career Started
And this is how Gulshan Grover became a part of the film “The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli and Baloo.” His character’s name in that film was Baldev, which he performed beautifully. And seeing his work, Hollywood people became his fans. Gulshan Grover’s Hollywood career also started with this film. After this film, Gulshan Grover worked in some big American, Italian, French, and British films, and Gulshan Grover’s dream of working in international films was fulfilled.
For fulfilling his dream, Gulshan always considers himself indebted to the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. Gulshan says that his Hollywood career has been possible only because of Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh gave wings to his dreams. If Shah Rukh had not encouraged him that day, he would hardly have been able to work in any Hollywood film. Gulshan shot that film in America for almost a month.
And as soon as he returned to India after finishing the shooting, he immediately reached the sets of ‘Yes Boss.’ Gulshan was quite nervous, thinking that he didn’t know what director Aziz Mirza would say to him now. But Gulshan was surprised when he saw that Aziz Mirza was completely calm and was very happy to see him. That is, Shah Rukh had told the entire situation to Aziz Mirza and had created an atmosphere in favor of Gulshan Grover.
