Recalling the conversation, Niki revealed, “He (SRK) said I was going for the shoot of Devdas and this red Maruti van was being used to teach someone how to drive. He told me that I waited for 10 minutes because that man was learning to drive and there was no space to go past him. Shah Rukh remembered that. He gave me the news that the person who has hit you didn’t even know how to drive.”
