Ahsaas Channa recalls being intimidated by Shah Rukh Khan
An actor named Ahsaas Channa told a fun story about when she was six years old and acted in a big Bollywood movie called Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.
The movie was directed by Karan Johar and starred very famous actors like Shah Rukh Khan.
Ahsaas was very nervous to meet Shah Rukh Khan because he was such a big star.
She made him a handwritten card for their first meeting.
Everyone on the movie set was very kind to her and pampered her a lot.
After one of her scenes, the whole crew clapped, and Shah Rukh Khan started the applause.
She has not met him again since that movie, but she really wants to work with him in the future.
Ahsaas took a break from acting to focus on her school exams.
During that time, streaming shows became very popular, so her career went in that direction.
Today she is known for fun web shows like Kota Factory and Hostel Daze.
Ahsaas Channa said she was 'very intimidated and nervous' meeting Shah Rukh Khan as a six-year-old on the sets of 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'.
She revealed on Gopal Datt's weekly show 'Pehla Pehla' that she made a handwritten card for Shah Rukh Khan before their first meeting.
Channa was pampered by the entire team and received her first on-set applause after a shot, which Shah Rukh Khan himself started.

After a break around her Class 10 board examinations, she shifted to digital entertainment, becoming known for 'Girls Hostel', 'Kota Factory' and 'Hostel Daze'.
