Shah Rukh’s crown shifts from Raj and Rahul to Surinder Sahni

Shah Rukh Khan claims that the ordinary middle class character of Surinder Sahni in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" is what he really is. He wants the romantic iconic crown to shift from the earlier cool character types of ‘Raj and ‘Rahul’ to ‘Suri’. "I come from an educated lower middle class background and I have never lost touch with that. Suri is what I really am. And my challenge as an actor is genuinely to make Surinder Sahni the new romantic icon," King Khan said in an interview. According to him, this character should be all the more idolized because Surinder Sahni has a good heart.

As for his debutant co-star Anushka, he is all praises for her. "I feel responsible for her career because she is starting off with me. I hope she does a fantastic job," he said. "From the bottom of my heart I pray for her and I hope this film does really good for her and she does amazing amount of work, so we can feel proud that we started her career on celluloid."
