Shahrukh Khan, the king of Bollywood once again proved that he is a true hero by giving a pleasant surprise to his leading lady Deepika Padukone.
He announced that starting from Chennai Express; all his films will have the leading ladies names appearing before his name in the credit titles. Usually leading actor’s name appears before the name of actress in the credit titles. According to Shahrukh man and woman are equal and women should be empowered.
Deepika will be sharing screen space with Shahrikh Khan in Chennai Express for the second time after her big debut against the superstar in Om Shanti Om. She gladly acknowledged the senior actor’s chivalrous gesture, “small thoughts bring about big changes. It’s a wonderful initiative not to prove that women are more powerful than men but to create awareness that men and women are equal in all fields and professions. Shahrukh has always believed woman are equal…not only in the way he interacts with us but also in his films. I’ve experienced that first hand with Om Shanti Om and now on Chennai Express,and I believe this gesture of his is an extension on that.Thank you Shah.” And this, probably, resolves the rumor hounding their fans about their tiff!!
