For those who don’t know, Riteish is a qualified architect from Kamala Raheja Architectural College. Moving on, The Dhamaal actor said, “I am a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan and what bigger opportunity! I mean, sharing screen space with him was big enough but to do something for him was even more for me. I told him, ‘I’ll get better architects, I’ll work with them, and we’ll get the office that you want.’ He said, ‘Better architects main bhi le kar aa sakta hoon par main chahta hoon ki tu design kare (Even I can get better architects but I want you to design it). I like you’.”
