Recently, Shah Rukh Khan was summoned up for an unlikely request. From tennis ace Sania Mirza, no less, who wanted him to coach her shy hubby Shoaib Malik, so that he could turn a mite more romantic in real life and mouth some of those heart warming lines to her.
The trio met up at a prominent sports awards function, anchored by SRK.
States Sania in a tabloid chat, "Shah Rukh's strength is the way he talks and besides, he romances on screen in a very charming way. So, I asked him to share some tips and teach my husband some romantic lines. Of course, it was all done in good humour and SRK was pulling our leg all through the act."
A close insider states,"During the show, in an impromptu question and answer session, SRK asked Shoaib and Sania about their marriage, romance and kids. He also tried his best to get Shoaib and Sania's love story out of his mouth, but all that he got out of him was that it was an ideal example of 'love at first sight', where he proposed to Sania and she agreed instantly."
Adds the source, "Sania added that basically Shoaib speaks very little and believes that true love does not need any expression. Shah Rukh called Shoaib on stage and asked him to repeat some romantic dialogues as Sania had suggested. The three of them also danced to a dance number from 'Veer Zaara'."
