The first time I met Shah Rukh, I was new to the film industry. I had not met a star till then. I come from this tiny village in Kerala and it was the first time Subhash Ghai had taken me out to a filmi function. And the first person I met was Shah Rukh Khan!

I was so floored by him. I was speechless. He is so enigmatic and larger than life. The way he talks to you, the way he makes you feel special -- I was so touched by it. I've always been a very big fan.

I love all his films, but my favourites are Swades, Dil Se, Pardes, Main Hoon Na and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
