New Delhi: Like many, superstar Shah Rukh Khan also loves to “Netflix and chill” during his free time.
After shooting for `Dunki` in London for a while, SRK, who recently came back to Mumbai, took a day off from work on Friday and decided to pamper himself by watching Alia Bhatt`s film `Darlings`.
“Been working the last few days non stop….so needed to indulge in my favourite past time….`the love of my own person` & to pamper myself, will spend the day with Prabhuji / Thums up and #DARLINGS (this is not an endorsement, just `mees spoilingss mees on a days offs pleaj,” he tweeted.
Helmed by debutant Jasmeet K Reen, Darlings is a dark comedy centered around the marriage of Alia Bhatt and Vijay Varma. The story is a powerful take on domestic abuse and revolves around Alia Bhatt`s retaliation after facing abuse at the hands of her husband Humza.
Shefali Shah and Roshan Mathew are also a part of the film, which was released on Netflix on Friday. `Darlings`, which is co-produced by Alia under her banner Eternal Sunshine Productions with Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan`s Red Chillies, has been receiving rave reviews.
Ahead of the release of `Darlings`, SRK had shared how anxious he is about the film.
In a tweet, he had written, “Lil one I am also so anxious that u shared the responsibility of Eternal Sunshine Productions’ first film with me…that I will be biting my nails till it releases. But I feel we have a lovely film and u r the soul and sunshine of all things Darlings.”
Responding to the tweet, Alia said, “And you are my eternal favourite actor/person/producer ever! Thank you for doing this with me … and post the release we can both get a manicure and pedicure since all the nails will be bitten haha! Love you the most.”
For the unversed, Alia and SRK share a cordial relationship ever since the two starred together in `Dear Zindagi`, which was released in 2016.
Shah Rukh played the role of a psychiatrist called Dr. Jehangir Khan. While treating Alia Bhatt in the film, Shah Rukh`s character gave important life lessons to the audience with his powerful dialogues. The film emerged as a hit at the box office.
