Even if I take his name, he will not mind, but I do not want to take his name. He told me that the most attractive thing about you is that you are ugly. Because other heroes look like Swiss chocolate. I did not look like Swiss chocolate, so I said okay I am ugly, so I will do the same role. I did the same roles. I did Darr.
Initially, Shahrukh did not reveal the name of that director, however, later he revealed that the director who called him ugly was none other than Yash Chopra.
