Talking about the moment when he got an opportunity to mimic SRK right in front of him, Sunil expressed:
“I went for a tour to Singapore where Morani brothers paid me 20000. There was a show held in a stadium there and I remember after the event Shah Rukh introduced every artist including me to the audience. Ganesh Hegde was also present there who told me to come to green room and perform in front of SRK. He entered the room with a drink and cigarette in his hand and I started mimicking his popular dialogues in front of him.”
In the concluding segment of the interview, Sunil Pal shared that apart from Shah Rukh Khan, he got an opportunity to work with Aamir Khan for a tour of the film, Lagaan.

Moreover, the comedian summed up both his experiences of working with the two superstars and concluded how both of them have zero egos about anything in life. In his words:
“These superstars respect artists and their craft. That’s the reason they don’t have an ego. In fact, they are so simple and humble to an extent that Aamir won’t even mind sitting on the floor and casually chatting during discussions”.

In an old video, Gauri Khan’s uncle had revealed a special anecdote about Shah Rukh Khan’s love for animals. He recalled gifting a Chinese-Pekinese breed of dog to the couple right after their marriage, on which Shah Rukh simply doted on. But one day, the dog passed away unexpectedly, while the actor wasn’t even at home. In his absence, SRK’s staff took hold of the situation and buried the pet on the sea beach, without the former’s knowledge. However, when Shah Rukh came back home and learned about the matter, he was absolutely furious and mad over his staff, who dared to take such a step without his knowledge. Recalling how SRK cried all night, Gauri’s uncle had revealed:
“Shah Rukh came at midnight, he asked where is the dog. They said, sir woh to chale gaye. He said, kaha rakha hai? Humne sea mein unki grave bana di. Two thirty at night he woke up the boys and he said show me where you kept him. He dug the grave, he brought the dog back, put him in the backyard and he’s made some sign there. And he cried all night. He said, how dare you throw my dog away? He has to be with us.”
