Shaan has been singing hit songs for decades and is one of the most popular voices in Indian music. Recently, the singer shared a funny story in an interview that left everyone in splits. He recalled how a big crowd suddenly rushed towards him with great excitement. For a moment, Shaan thought people were going crazy for him, but he soon found out that the crowd had actually mistaken him for Shah Rukh Khan .
Shaan recalls being mobbed by a busload of excited schoolgirls
During his conversation with Humans of Bombay, Shaan recalled a hilarious incident where he suddenly found himself surrounded by a busload of excited schoolgirls, only to discover moments later that he was not the one they were after. He said, "Nayi nayi gaadi thi meri Maruti 800 aur main petrol bharne ruka hua tha (I had just bought a new car, a Maruti 800, and I had stopped at a petrol pump to fill it up). They generally used to tell you to get out of the car, so I was standing outside. A whole bus of young schoolgirls surrounded me and there was full chaos. But they then went back to the bus."
He further added, “Jab voh jaa rahe the, tab maine suna ki unhe laga main Shah Rukh Khan hoon (As they were leaving, I overheard them saying that they thought I was Shah Rukh Khan). They were not from Mumbai, so obviously they didn’t know that someone of that stature is not going to be at a petrol pump filling petrol in his car. Kisi ne galat pehchan liya aur baaki sab aise hi aa gaye the, phir baad mein pata chala kuch toh gadbad hai (Someone had mistaken me for someone else, and the others simply followed along. Later, they realised that something wasn’t quite right). Till then I was thinking, wow, what is happening to me? What is this madness? It was short-lived but nice."
