When SRK addressed rumors of his alleged affair with PC

Shah Rukh Khan, the epitome of love and romance, continues to be every woman's dream across generations. Known for his charm, wit, and intelligence, he remains one of the most respected actors in Hindi cinema. He married his teenage love, Gauri Chibber, and together they are proud parents to Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam.
The actor has always been devoted to Gauri. Despite working with many actresses, he has rarely been linked to any co-stars. He is often called a "one-woman man," a title Gauri proudly supports.
The making of 'Don 2'

During the making of 'Don 2' in 2011, rumors linked Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, disappointing many fans. They were often seen together at public events and late-night outings.
Despite the rumors, Shah Rukh Khan remained calm and never reacted. However, in an old interview, when asked about his alleged affair with Priyanka Chopra, he didn’t shy away from addressing it. Like a true gentleman, he responded by calling Priyanka one of the closest people in his life.
“To me, what is most disturbing is the fact that a lady who's worked with me has been questioned, and somewhere down the line, she's not being shown the kind of respect I show her or all the women. I think it's a little disrespectful. I'm extremely sorry about that. Sorry means... it's not directly because of anything I've done but because she's my friend. She's one of the closest friends I have, very close to my heart, and always will be."
Priyanka's professional journey
In the same interview, Shah Rukh shared that Priyanka started her journey in front of him and was like a little girl. He also mentioned how such rumors can ruin a friendship.
Shah Rukh recalled Priyanka starting her journey during her Miss World days and shared that they had great moments together. He found it unfortunate that rumors could affect a genuine friendship.
