Many Bollywood actresses began their careers with a range of roles but eventually won hearts by portraying iconic maternal characters. Legends like Reema Lagoo, Farida Jalal, Himani Shivpuri, and Nirupa Roy famously played the mother of actors close to, or even older than, their own age. But did you know about the actress who portrayed her own college senior\u2019s mother on screen, not once, but twice? Surprisingly, she is eight years younger than the superstar in question.<\/p>\n

The actress is none other than Sheeba Chaddha, known for her nuanced performances in Badhaai Do<\/em> (2022), Doctor G<\/em> (2022), and many others. She began her film journey in 1998 with a minor role in Dil Se.<\/em><\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Sheeba Chaddha opened up about her experiences in Bollywood. She shared that she had played the on-screen mother of her college senior, none other than Shah Rukh Khan.<\/p>\n

Recalling her very first film, she said: \u201cI had almost no role in Dil Se<\/em>. It was so small, I barely remember it. But I did get to shoot in Dalhousie and saw Shah Rukh Khan. Manisha Koirala wasn\u2019t present during my scenes, and one day, as she was unavailable, Mani Ratnam personally asked if I would wear Manisha\u2019s costume and act as her body double for a snow sequence.\u201d Though her part in Dil Se was minimal, years later Sheeba shared the screen with Shah Rukh in Raees<\/em> (2017) and Zero<\/em> (2018), portraying his mother in both films.<\/p>\n

Sheeba revealed that although Shah Rukh Khan is her college senior, she never reminded him of their shared academic past. She recalled: \u201cWhen I was filming for Raees<\/em>, Shah Rukh mentioned in a Delhi interview that there\u2019s an actress playing his mother in the film, and how amazing she is. We didn\u2019t even have a scene together, but that\u2019s the kind of person he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She also spoke fondly of his professionalism and respectfulness during the shoot of Zero, where he played a dwarf: \u201cWe had a scene where he was being beaten and I had to rush in and hug him. Before the scene, he came up to me and asked, \u2018Can I touch you?\u2019 I said, \u2018Yes, of course.\u2019 He\u2019s incredibly thoughtful. He even knew my name before he arrived on set. That really stays with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Discussing the reality of being cast in maternal roles, Sheeba said: \u201cHalf the time I\u2019m playing a mother to sons who are only 10\u201312 years younger than me. It happens a lot in television\u2014sometimes even a 30-year-old woman is shown as the mother of adult men. I was shocked at first, but I accepted it. I told myself: it\u2019s just work. Do it and move on. If you resist, you\u2019ll end up with no work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sheeba Chaddha continues to shine on screen, gracefully navigating typecasting while delivering powerful performances that resonate with audiences across generations.<\/p>\n
