In conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Isha Koppikar praised Shah Rukh Khan and said, “The way you see him, he is exactly like that. Women love him. The way he is in films, in real life, too, he is like that. He won’t feel like a superstar is sitting, standing in front of you or working. He’ll make you feel comfortable. Khud ka mazaak udaayenge, aapko hasayenge (He will make fun of himself, make you laugh). He’ll make you feel comfortable by making fun of himself.”

Isha also recalled how the actor teased her and Priyanka Chopra during their dance sequence saying no one will watch him in front of them. She noted, “Jaise, ‘Arre, yeh aur Priyanka dance kar rahe hain, toh mujhe kyun bulaya? Mujhe kaun dekhega?’ I’m like, ‘Aap ko hi dekhega, Priyanka aur mujhe koi nahi dekhega (Like, ‘Oh, if she and Priyanka are dancing, why did you call me? Who will see me?’ I’m like, ‘They will see you, not me and Priyanka’). You know how it is—to make somebody comfortable. Very effortless in his acting, very effortless in his dance. Very suave. Classy—really classy. I mean, a man should be like him. He is a gentleman. He is my kind of man.” The trio featured in the hit song Aaj Ki Raat from the 2006 film.
