Now, in an interview, Johnny has opened up about his relationship with Shah Rukh and spoke about the time when his father was undergoing surgery but he had to shoot for a comedy scene and how SRK stepped in. 

Johnny said, "There were times when I was going through some personal issues and had to film a comedy scene. One such time was when my father had to be operated on, I was a bit preoccupied with it, but I still had to shoot a comic sequence."

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, he further added, "Now I don’t let my personal issues interfere with work, so at that time I had not told anyone about this issue. I don’t know how, but Shah Rukh Khan came into the room I was in and said he heard about my father and was inquiring about him. Here I was getting ready for a comedy scene, so I tried underplaying the issue. But he continued saying that if I needed anything I could tell him. This was during the film Badshah."

For the uninformed, SRK and Johnny have worked in a staggering 15 films together including Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Badshah, Baazigar, Karan Arjun, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Yes Boss, among others.

Earlier, speaking about Johnny Shah Rukh had said, "He is a wonderful human being, very few people know how serious he is in real life, he has a very interesting serious side and you will never know if you just see him from outside. I know one thing, whenever anyone is in trouble, Johnny bhai is always there to help! He will be the first person to reach out to help others."
