Megastar Shah Rukh Khan is the king of Bollywood and the king of his fans’ hearts. Often in his films, he is seen jumping across buildings, dodging bullets and fire to rescue the ‘damsel in distress’. Not many know that he is a hero in real life too!
Back in 2019, the megastar made headlines when he saved Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s manager Archana Sadanand during the Diwali party. Her lehenga caught on fire after coming in contact with a diya but thanks to SRK who put out the fire at the right time with his presence of mind and averted a huge disaster.

During the chat, Mita recalling the incident revealed how SRK saved her at the right time otherwise she would have been dead. She said, “Main AK-47 latkaye hui this jab hum Shah Rukh ko blindfold kar ke le jaa rahe hain ek bridge pe. Toh shoot ke dauran hamare jo joote they woh plastic ke they aur baraf giri hui thi toh slippery tha. Toh mujhe yaad hai Shah Rukh mere aage tha aur hum log batiya rahe they. Toh Mani ji (Mani Ratnam) ne mujhe bola peeche hone ko. Toh main peeche hoti gayi yeh nahin dekha ki peeche ek dum 100 ft ka drop hai matlab wahaan pahaadi khatam ho jaati hai.”
She further said, “Toh woh AK-47 bahut bhaari thi. Toh main jaise hi peeche hui achanak mujhe aasmaan dikhayi diya aur main ludhak gayi aur tab mujhe haath yahaan aaya jo yun pakda maane instant reaction. Toh aise girte hue main waapas aayi aur woh haath Shah Rukh ka tha. Nahin toh main pata nahin kahaan pahunch jaate sar ke bal, haddiyaan toot jaati, mar jaati.”
