Shah Rukh Khan Gifted John Abraham a Bike After He Skipped Pathaan’s Success Party.
The stand-up comedian Zakir Khan’s talk show, Aapka Apna Zakir started off to a great beginning last week on Sony TV, with filmmaker Karan Johar and Stree 2 actors Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao as guests. In its second week, the show hosted the casts of Phir Atay Haseen Dillruba and Vedaa.
write for us entertainment says, Last Sunday, Zakir Khan continued to have a lot of fun conversation, including actors John Abraham, Sharvari, Abhishek Banerjee, and Vedaa director Nikkhil Advani.
John had shared how, on the sets of Aapka Apna Zakir, he narrated an incident from the success bash of Pathaan when he had told Shah Rukh Khan in a humorous manner that he wanted a bike.
Recounting it on Aapka Apna Zakir, John said, “My last film Pathaan was with Shah Rukh. I remember when the movie was success party of this movie and Shah Rukh was like, ‘Come on John, let’s party! Apni picture chal rahi hai. Achha opening mila hai’ I said I sleep at home.
Toh unhone bola kya chahiye tumhe? Maine bola ek motorcycle de do bas. Toh unhone mujhe motorcycle gift ki. Main khush ho ke gaya ghar. (I remember, after the film, there was a success party and Shahrukh was very thrilled. I told him that I wanted to stay home and sleep and he asked me what I wanted. I told him what I wanted was a bicycle, and he gave it to me).”
John was also all praises for SRK in his latest podcast. His show with Ranveer Allahbadia had him calling the superstar “smart, intelligent, but also very caring and cute”. He even recalled how they got along quite well while working together in Pathaan, wherein John plays the villainous Jim.
Pathaan became one of Indian cinema’s biggest movies ever, and, to celebrate its momentous success, John gifted himself a swish Suzuki Hayabusa custom made bike valued at Rs 17 lakh. Biking buff John owned a handful of a glorious collection of powerful bikes. John isn’t the first person Shah Rukh Khan has bought a bike. Then, later the same day, director Rohit Shetty also gifted him a flashy bike from Ed Hardy.
However, John’s recently released movie Vedaa isn’t doing too well. In five days after its release, the film has managed to collect only Rs 15.5 crore.
John and His Bikes: write for us entertainment says.
For John Abraham, who confessedly loves biking, this gift from SRK was the perfect gift. He is a bike lover; his collection of them is very powerful and sleek, worth the envy of any biking buff out there. After Pathaan, in celebration of the movie’s success, he even gifted himself a custom-made Suzuki Hayabusa, costing a whopping Rs 17 lakh.
This is a nice addition to his collection and yet another indication of John’s deep association with the biking world, no wonder the gentle man beamed in delight at SRK’s considerate gesture.
Mixed Fortunes of Vedaa.
While Pathaan is being touted as one of the biggest successes in Indian cinema, John’s new release, Vedaa, hasn’t been so lucky. Riding on his star power, the film has collected a meager amount at the box office – a mere Rs 15.5 crore in the first five days. It acts as the much-needed reality check to drive into stone-cold reality that no matter how hard one tries, the movie business, where success hangs by a thread, can end as suddenly as it began.
Even with mixed reviews to Vedaa, John’s friendship with SRK and light-hearted cycle-banter is a telling example of how in the Bollywood camp it isn’t always about box office numbers—sometimes, somewhere amidst those scenes, great connections are built. Shah Rukh Khan gifting John a motorcycle wasn’t an act of charity; symbolically, it represented a bond, a friendship transcending on-screen roles.
Conclusion:
During the success party of Pathaan, some light-hearted leg-pulling between John Abraham and Shah Rukh Khan turned into a rather impromptu act on SRK’s part: he gifted John a motorcycle when the latter jokingly asked for one. KreativanSays this heartwarming story further cements the camaraderie between these two stars, as John goes on to talk about Shah Rukh being sharp, sensitive, and kind. While Pathan has emerged as a blockbuster, being a career high for both actors, John’s latest release Vedaa has had a slow start at the box office. But it is John’s love for bikes and bonding with SRK that are the real diya of his journey.
