On Shah Rukh Khan's 58th birthday today, producer Anand Pandit can't help but reminisce the superstar's words for him on his 60th birthday celebrations last year. Back then, talking to the media about his bonding with the producer and real estate magnate, SRK had said, "He is also my spiritual guru. He understands vaastu, so when one of my films doesn't do well, I call him over to change things up in my house. I say, âSir, meri pichhli waali picture chali nahin, kuch kar do.' And he suggests moving a mirror around. But fortunately, my films have been working." Conceding that until then he didn't know the Jawan (2023) actor believed him, Pandit shared, "When I told him that vaastu is all about the energy, he believed it, and he made the corrections in his house and then, he got the desired results. This was like a private thing, but he chose to make it public and he said, âAnand bhai jo kehte hai main vo karta hoon and he is like my spiritual guru.'" All praise for SRK, Pandit added, "I'm glad that we share a very good friendship."
