‘Saiyaara’ actor Shaan R. Grover opens up about keeping Shah Rukh Khan’s jacket as a symbol of inspiration
Shaan R. Grover, the rising star from the film Saiyaara, has a heartwarming story about his connection to Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic black leather jacket from Jab Tak Hai Jaan. For Shaan, this isn’t just a piece of Bollywood memorabilia—it’s a powerful reminder of his early struggles and dreams in the acting world.
Shaan shared his feelings in a recent chat, saying, "When I was working in casting at Yash Raj Films (YRF), I somehow ended up with this jacket from SRK’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan. I still keep it with me. Every time I see it, it takes me back to my tough days when I was desperate to become an actor. It’s more than a jacket—it’s a memory that inspires me. Like every aspiring actor, I hope one day I’ll get to act alongside Shah Rukh Khan."
Before stepping into the spotlight, Shaan hustled behind the scenes. He started as an assistant director on Sanam Teri Kasam and trained under top casting director Shanoo Sharma. That YRF gig is where he snagged the special jacket, turning a simple prop into a treasured keepsake.
The excitement didn’t stop there. While shooting Saiyaara—Mohit Suri’s romantic drama—under the YRF banner, Shaan found himself just two rooms away from where Shah Rukh Khan stays during shoots. "It felt like a full-circle moment," he added, linking his cherished jacket to working in the same legendary space as his idol.
Shaan, a Delhi boy, grabbed attention with his intense role as the edgy ex-boyfriend in Saiyaara. He’s since made waves in digital entertainment, starring in the Netflix movie Nobleman and popular web series like Roohaniyat, Leaked, and Dus June Ki Raat. Fans are loving his journey from behind-the-camera talent to on-screen star—could a SRK collaboration be next?
