It is the season of weddings in B-town with Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra all set to tie the knot soon this year.
Actor Shah Rukh Khan, who has worked with both the Bollywood divas, at the trailer launch of his upcoming film Zero, on his 53rd birthday on Friday, was asked about the impending nuptials, to which he replied in his trademark joking style.
He said, "It is good that everyone is getting married. What do I do? Begani Shaadi Mein Abdula Deewana. They are getting married so good and then they will have kids. I am already married, how can I get married again."
The actor, however wished Deepika and Ranveer Singh on their wedding later this month, while saying that he gets emotional when his co-stars settle down in their life.
"When I came in the film industry I started acting with Sridevi ji, Madhuri (Dixit) ji. They got married. I have flowered as an actor and star because of the love these ladies have given me," the actor said.
He further added, "The second generation got married and this is the third set who is getting married. I get really emotional when they get married."
"I called Deepika and I wanted to hug her, I told her be happy. My love to Deepika and Ranveer. We will be celebrating as and when they call," the actor narrated how he felt when he got to know about Deepika's wedding.
"As a matter of fact both Deepika and Anushka (Sharma) made their acting debut with me. So it is special for me," he added.
At the offset, Shah Rukh Khan came to know about Aanand L Rai's film Zero from his good friend Salman Khan.
Shah Rukh plays the role of a vertically-challenged person in the film, which is set to be released on December 21.
"It's not true that he (Rai) asked a lot of people. Salman had actually called me and said, 'there's this film, do it,'" Shah Rukh Khan said.
"The reason he (Salman Khan) came and did that song was because of this. He wanted to be a part of the film," Shah Rukh went on to say at the trailer launch.
"Salman is a wonderful human being. For him to remember that a year later or months later when the film was actually being told to Katrina (Kaif) to come back and say 'I want to be a part of this film because I've heard this film.' It was very dignified, decent of him," he added.
