Bond with Salman Khan and SRK
Farida has collaborated on several movies with both Salman and Shah Rukh. She now said that it is difficult for her to get in touch with them because they had changed phone numbers.
“No, I am not in touch. How do I get to him, tell me? (even) Salman, how do I get to them? You know, they have changed their mobiles or whatever. The number I have of Shah Rukh… I had a shoulder surgery done and he has done many. So, those days I went to his doctor also. He called (me) out of the blue, so sweet na?”
She said that Shah Rukh consoled her following her shoulder surgery, but she wouldn’t say when. She claimed that Shah Rukh warned her not to become impatient following the procedure and warned her that it would take a while for the mobility to return to normal. She did that because she was concerned that she wouldn’t be able to raise her arm.
She stated, “But now, when I try calling him on that number, because I loved his success, his films, I want to tell him, ‘Bachcha, very good, I am very happy for you,’ but there is nobody on that line. If his secretary is not kind to you then what do you do? I have to go through somebody as I don’t have his number. So, Shah Rukh should think about this. When people want to talk to you, what do they do? People like me. Salman also, I used to have his number we used to talk to each other so often, now he must have changed his number, what do I do?”
