Even if you are not a part of the ninety’s era, still, there is no way that you will not know the smash hit film ‘Baazigar’, which starred the one and only Shah Rukh Khan. How can anyone not remember the iconic ‘Yeh kaali kaali aankhein’ track that was picturised on the firebrand actress Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan! Well, besides everything else, there was one more dialogue that has always been resonating with the film’s memories. And that’s the manner in which Shah Rukh Khan’s character shouts ‘Madan Chopra’ (name of the veteran actor Dalip Tahil in the film).

Encounter with a besotted fan of SRK!

That’s when Dalip Tahil replied stating that, it was sort of strange because it is a compliment that they actually don’t like you because the audience associate you with the character. He added that he did it so well that many hated his guts. He, then, recalled an interesting incident which had happened with him at the Heathrow Airport in London.

The actor recalled stating that, when he was just about to board the plane at the Heathrow Airport in London, a girl came to him and asked ‘why did he beat Shah Rukh Khan so much’ (in the film ‘Baazigar’). The actor added that he could make out that the girl was so besotted with Shah Rukh Khan and that the way in which she told him (Dalip Tahil), he began to feel very terrible!

"You are the bad guy"!

And when he tried to reason it to the girl that, even he (Shah Rukh Khan’s character) had hit his character in the film, pat came the girl’s reply that, that just did not matter and that since he was the bad guy, that was bound to happen. But she was still insisting as to why he hit him (Shah Rukh Khan’s character) in the film!
