She also shared that there was a scene that she and the actor had to repeat a couple of times, but SRK told her to sit and rest. To this, Priyamani replied to SRK that she would dance as many times as the actor would want her to. Calling those shooting nights with Shah Rukh the best, Priyamani recalled:
"He was extremely sweet, very down to earth person. I mean, he’s the sweetest person alive. So, he came to me at one point because there were some particular steps which we had to repeat a couple of times. He said, ‘No, no darling, you go sit down, I will do it.’ I said, ‘No, sir, I’m okay. I love dancing, so I don’t mind dancing how many times you want me to dance. I can dance, no issues at all.’ Those were the best five nights of my life.”
In the same interview, Priyamani shared that Shah Rukh even gave her Rs. 200 for a specific reason. The actress said she and SRK played Kaun Banega Crorepati on the actor's iPad, and as all of her answers were right, the actor provided her with a reward, i.e., Rs. 200.
