Shah Rukh Khan teamed up with Nayanthara as his leading lady for the first time with ‘Jawan’ and fans loved their chemistry! However, a section of the audience felt that Nayanthara's character didn't have much meat in the film.
In fact, reports have it that Nayanthara was upset over the fact that she was sidelined by Deepika Padukone’s extended cameo in the film. While Nayanthara didn’t comment on the matter yet, SRK finally mentioned the same in an ‘Ask SRK’ session on X (formerly Twitter).
Shah Rukh Khan hosted an ‘Ask SRK’ session on X where
he was asked about the single mom storyline (Nayanthara’s character) in the film. A fan posted a photo of SRK with the child actor who played Suji in the film, and wrote, “I loved Azad’s bond with Suji the single mom storyline was so subtly done and really refreshing. Thank you for representing women from all walks of life. Love you Shah @iamsrk #AskSRK #Jawan (sic).”
Replying to this, SRK said, “I also felt that the story of Narmada as a single mom was amazing. Unfortunately in the scheme of things couldn’t find more screen time but as is was also wonderful. #Jawan (sic).”
