Deepika has kick-started King's shoot. In the picture, the Pathaan actors held each other's hands as they sat together. In the post, the diva recalled what Shah Rukh's "first lesson" was for her. "The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming Om Shanti Om was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success," she wrote while sharing the post.

"I couldn’t agree more and have applied that learning to every decision I’ve made since. And that’s probably why we’re back making our 6th movie together?", Deepika concluded her post.

Deepika's husband-actor Ranveer Singh commented on the post, "Bestest Besties!" and added halo face, nazar amulet and red heart emojis.

For the unversed, Deepika and Shah Rukh worked together in Om Shanti Om, Happy New Year, Chennai Express, Jawan and Pathaan.
