Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath has opened up about his deep admiration for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, revealing that he frequently visits Khan at his Mumbai residence, Mannat, for long, insightful conversations. On his podcast, WTF is with Nikhil Kamath, Kamath praised Khan’s wisdom and the impactful advice he receives during their discussions. Nikhil Kamath’s Frequent Visits to Mannat Kamath detailed his visits, saying, “Every time I come to Mumbai, one night I go to Shah Rukh’s house.
We sit down and chat for four to five hours. The kind of advice the man gives, it’s incredible. I go to him just for his gyan (knowledge).
” This sentiment was echoed by actress Kriti Sanon, who joined Kamath on the podcast. Sanon expressed her admiration, stating, “I love him. He is one of those few people who you are a fan of and then you meet him and become a bigger fan.
He is very intelligent.” Badshah’s Stage Name Inspired by Shah Rukh Khan Rapper Badshah, who was also a guest on the podcast, shared an interesting tidbit about his stage name. Known off-stage as Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, Badshah revealed that his moniker was inspired by his admiration for Khan.
“I am a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan,” Badshah admitted. He explained that his stage name was a nod to Khan’s 1999 film Baadshah, directed by Abbas-Mustan. Badshah’s initial stage name was “Cool Equal,” a choice he made in a moment of indecision, but he later adopted “Badshah” as a more deliberate tribute to Khan.
The conversation provided a glimpse into the personal connections and respect that these public figures have for each other. Badshah’s past stage name, “Cool Equal,” amused his fellow guests. He reminisced, “coolequal@hotmail.
com was my email id back then,” drawing laughter from the group. Despite the humorous backstory, Badshah’s decision to adopt his current stage name was a “conscious decision” influenced by his fandom for Khan.
