I was supposed to reach early and rehearse for it. But as luck would have it I had gone to town to pick up my parents and got stuck in traffic. By the time I reached the venue, there was only time for a quick briefing on what I had to do. How could I say shut up to Shah Rukh Khan? I've never been rude even to my driver. But he insisted. He also told me to throw eggs at him and Saif at the end of the show. I begged and pleaded to spare me. But Shah Rukh didn't listen."
