Gossip News Desk –Shahrukh Khan is considered one of the most famous actors not only in Bollywood but in the whole world. But sometimes people make such statements about him that become a topic of discussion. One such statement was given by actress Neha Dhupia in 2004, which made a lot of headlines. Neha Dhupia claimed in her statement that only two things sell in films, either sex or Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh also reacted to this statement in an interview, while years later Neha Dhupia herself refreshed her statement.
What did Neha Dhupia say about Shah Rukh Khan in 2004?
It was 2004, when Neha Dhupia was promoting her film ‘Julie’. During this time, in an interview to Times of India, she said, “Julie has love-making scenes and bare back shots. I am not affected by the sex symbol tag. If people say that I have surpassed Mallika Sherawat and Bipasha Basu, it does not matter to me. In today’s time, either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan. So I would like to be a sex prop in my next film.”

In 2014, while talking to Economic Times, Shah Rukh Khan had reacted to Neha Dhupia’s statement. Shah Rukh had said, “As long as I love you, this line will stay with me… Kiran Hai. I don’t meet Neha often, but when I do, I get a little shy. However, I am not for sale. I am priceless. You can buy me with a story, an idea, an exciting thought, but not with money. I am not a commodity that can be sold. I am not arrogant, yet making money is the smallest part of my existence.”
Neha Dhupia’s statement came into discussion again in 2023
Neha Dhupia recalled her statement made in 2004 in 2023. Actually, she was giving her reaction on the film ‘Pathan’.
