Taking place at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai from May 1 to 4, WAVES 2025 has drawn prominent figures from the global entertainment, media, and tech industries. Amid the glitz, one of the most memorable moments came when SRK made a humorous confession that had the audience laughing.
The Jawan star opened up about feeling shy and uncomfortable at public events. “I’m very awkward, especially at events and parties,” he admitted, before joking, “That’s when I hide behind Deepika — she’s taller!” His playful remark was paired with a heartfelt note: he loves Deepika, not just as a co-star, but because she helps him feel more at ease in overwhelming settings.
The confession sparked laughter from both the audience and Deepika herself, who playfully agreed with SRK’s remark. “It’s true,” she said with a smile. “We’re two awkward people—he hides behind me, and I try to hide behind him.”
This light-hearted moment between the duo, known for their iconic collaborations in Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Pathaan, was a standout at the summit, highlighting the genuine warmth and camaraderie they share off-screen.
