"Shah Rukh Khan was two seats away from me and I didn’t know he was there," Sharon Stone said of her priceless reaction.
As a famous celebrity herself, who works in the entertainment industry for decades, Stone is not that person who is easily star struct because she knows a lot of stars.
"And I reached forward and saw him and I am not very easily star-struck because I know a lot of stars but I saw him and I was just like [she recreated the reaction]."

The director said that Stone would do "everything I ask," and that she never protested after that. The thing is, the pubic hair scene that would be in the film was not discussed with her, Stone said.
Stone was angry.
"He had told me when we shot the scene that the light was reflecting off of my underwear, and that if I took off my underwear, there would be a shadow, that we wouldn't see my pubic hair, as we do in the film, where everybody keeps claiming they see my vagina."
"I hated that it existed, I hated it more than he stole it from me instead of allowing me to choose," Stone said. But eventually, Stone let it go and put her past behind her.
