Govind Namdev on Shah Rukh Khan’s 24-hour schedule

During his appearance on The Lallantop, the veteran actor recalled how Shah Rukh Khan works despite his many health problems. Govind shared, “Ek hi hai banda jo 24 ghante kaam karta hai, sona bhi 3-4 ghante, ussi mei dand bhaitak bhi hai, udghatan bhi karna hai, dialogue bhi yaad karna hai, kahin perform karne bhi jaana hai, main hairaan ho gaya ki ye kaisa aadmi hai. Physical bahut zyada problem hai, reedh ki haddi ki problem hai, kaafi problem hai, dekh kar hame bhi sikhaaya. (It was great working with Shah Rukh Khan in Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. Working with Shah Rukh, I realised how it is to work with a person who really works around the clock. If somebody can work for 24/7, it is Shah Rukh Khan. He sleeps for 3-4 hours. He also goes to the gym, learns his dialogues. He gives stage performances and also goes for ribbon cutting events. I saw him doing all this together during the time I worked with him. I was surprised to see him do all of these things together. He has multiple health problems. He has a back problem, especially with his backbone, but he doesn’t care about it).”

Sharing a glimpse into his hectic schedule, he said, “I go to sleep at five in the morning. When Mark Wahlberg gets up, I go off to sleep. And then I wake up about nine or 10 if I am shooting. But then I will come home at 2 am, take a bath and then work out before I go to sleep.” Up next, the superstar will be seen in Siddharth Anand’s King, co-starring his daughter Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.
