'Ye Haraam Hai Mere Liye': Shah Rukh Khan refused to charge interest for producing 'Ittefaq'

Bollywood filmmaker Ravi Chopra’s wife and producer, Renu Chopra, recently revealed the goodwill of Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan.

During the interview with the entertainment portal PinkVilla, the movie makers heaped praise for Shah Rukh's generosity, recalling his kind gesture when he gave the money for her son Abhay Chopra’s directorial debut Ittefaq.

Apart from this, he also refused to charge the money back with interest.

Filmmaker Chopra mentioned that she asked Khan if she could visit him but he declined and said he would come to her out of respect.

Here is what Chora said Khan during their meeting: “Maine kaha, ‘Dekh, paise mere paas nahi hai,’ toh he said, ‘Woh main laga dunga.’ Maine kaha, ‘Baki mere bacche puri tarah se dil laga ke picture banaenge’

"(SRK didn’t even read the story). His principle was, ‘I never back the horse; I back the jockey.’ He said, ‘If your son is backing it, I’ll back it.’”

She stated, “And to this day… the money was always 50-50 down the line. And when the movie was completed, like all other finances, there was normally an interest rate. He said, ‘Nahi, ye haraam hai mere liye. Main nahi lunga’ (No, this is forbidden for me. I won’t take it).”
