Shah Rukh Khan about his signature pose

When an audience from the interview asked how the iconic pose was invented, the Jawan actor replied that in the 1990s, there was a thing called ‘dip’ for dance moves. He sincerely thanks choreographer Saroj Khan for the signature pose.

While explaining how it was invented, SRK shared that he practised a certain dance move all night, and still, he couldn't master it. He instantly felt ashamed of himself. Next day, Saroj Ji asked him to forget about that step as it was not looking good on him and asked him to do the ‘dip’ and he just simply put his arms out. That's it.
