When Shah Rukh came back and said, 'Main to yeh award pehen rahaa hu (I am wearing the medal).' And both of us said, 'Haan, humein bhi pehenna hai, par pehen lein (Yes, we want to wear it as well. Shall we wear)?' Then he said, ‘Haan pehente hain. Kyu nahi (Yes, why not)?’ Toh (So) it was a little difficult to put it in… so we are just helping each other and living that moment."
