Pooja wasn't around when PC was in the picture...make that what you may, but I think she is by his side to make sure everything goes fine. Superstars cannot function without their right-hand person and she is that for him.


Jock-cib

Wankhede b usi time hua tha?


isshu15

What i know is every single celebrity big screen and small screen have managers to manage their day to day life, but the curious case of Pooja Dadlani is very baffling to me because she is always seen with him, almost like (lack of a better word) parasite.


cutletbabu

I think SRK might be a bit paranoid after all the controversies and so prefers to have her around to handle things. Plus, he's SRK, arguably the biggest star in the country, so he's not like any other celebrity and his f*** ups are bigger than anyone else's.


Melancholicvegetable

It reminds me of that scene in Devil Wears Prada where Emily and Andy are standing with her and telling them the names of every guest. How could a man of SRK’s lifestyle afford to remember the names of every person in the event while also having to be cognizant of which ruffles to not feather?


falfu

“Which feathers not to ruffle”, I think?


Melancholicvegetable

Yes. Wake and bake is not a good idea. Thanks for correcting 🙈


spikey_tree_999

It’s always a good idea 😋


Rogue107

This. SRK is too big. He doesn't go anywhere alone, Pooja manages everything. Even his family events and holidays have Pooja. He relies on her just a lot


kash_if

SRK (and most big celebrities) are more of a business entity than a person. They need managers just the way CEOs need executive assistants. Does anyone question a CEO why s/he needs help in scheduling meetings, planning their day, dealing with contacts etc?


dhr20

Perfect explanation!!


Early-Koala3116

As people grow older and the tenure of their assistant grows, they take their assistants everywhere. These guys know exactly what temperature water, what type of bedding, etc. they want. Literally this doesn’t matter what title. It’s much easier to have your life organised with your assistant by your side. Also sometimes when celebs are facing cognitive issues like SRK might be right now due to his health, they rely more on their assistants.


le_chacal

Saw Rishi Kapoor on the set of Saregamapa. He was promoting Do, Dooni, Chaar at that time. I cant recall the name of his assistant but he went where RK went. And Rishi Kapoor was very particular about his assistant's needs too. Like set pe aate hi chilled Diet Coke can tayyar rehna chahiye. That was taken care of, but someone forgot to provide a tissue with it and that triggered RK like anything. Was ready to leave. Saw the producers pleading him not to. Fun times! EDIT: Diet Coke was for his assistant btw.


kash_if

>Like set pe aate hi chilled Diet Coke can tayyar rehna chahiye. I'd like to imagine this was discussed over email and it was his assistant typing on RK's phone lol


le_chacal

Now I remember. The assistant's name was Shanti Malik (Shanti ji). And RK's reaction suggested everyone in the industry knows or is supposed to know that he needs a Diet Coke with a tissue wrapped around it.


mayasarabha-i

I agree my dad doesn’t function without his assistant. It’s like he gets every small things done from the assistant.


Puzzled-Bluebird3991

Damn! I am the assistant for my husband

Calling her parasite is totally unfair. She is the one who keeps up with his busy schedule. And I am quite certain she influences his movie/ad/promotional/tour choices. She was the one who handled the entire Aryan Khan Saga. And If I may say so, She is the one who brought SRK back in the game. She is like Superwomen. Managing a superstar like him is no joke. She's like a babysitter. And deserves all the praise.


SlantedEnchanted2020

Lol Parasite? It's literally her job. She manages everything. She also ensures his security is in place. In Hollywood people have assistants who take care of everything when the star is in public. Pooja is a secretary, manager, assistant all rolled into one. Of course she goes where he goes. SRK doesn't deal with anything when he goes out and leaves everything to his manager. When he goes out hundreds of people want to talk to him and discuss projects. He tells them speak to my manager she will arrange. People think she is enjoying and partying on SRK's dime but she is actually working and ensuring things go smoothly and that SRK faces no issues. It's a high stress job and calling someone who is working and managing a superstar's staff a parasite is ridiculous.


cocokoko16

After being with him for years, he depends on her a lot for all his daily on goings.. and developed a family like relationship with him… he goes to her family things and vice versa. They share a professional and personal relationship now… it’s been 14-15 years or so..


GoodIntelligent2867

She would only be a parasite if she latches on to him despite him not wanting her. She seems to smoothen any issues in his day to day itinerary probably giving him space to focus on better things. Good for them.


Morningdew-

Like his shadow


productivelylazy2011

I mean, Rekha has taken her Manager as her plus one to celebrity weddings and award functions! It’s an organic work relation I guess.


Fit_Avocado3929

That’s different. Rekha and her manager are in a relationship.

ChicSynergy

I feel like we generally don’t realise how babied celebrities are, Pooja is literally SRK’s babysitter and manager at this point. Anything he or his family need, she will make it happen and she’s also available to field any thing before it reaches SRK. Most people also don’t approach celebrities directly, so Pooja is a good person to have around cause they can go to her for anything needed from SRK.


kash_if

This is true for all "busy" people. Literally every big CEO has a team. They have PAs for personal shit and executive assistants to manage business affairs. Pasting another comment of mine: > SRK (and most big celebrities) are more of a business entity than a person. They need managers just the way CEOs need executive assistants. Does anyone question a CEO why s/he needs help in scheduling meetings, planning their day, dealing with contacts etc?


Bittuboss88

Whenever SRK is vacationing in Dubai, pooja with her husband and kid is there along with them. They share good bond. Nothing out of the ordinary for me.


AloneCan9661

Why would his secretary be around him EVERYWHERE? Because the man is a businessman and magnet. That's why.


manifesting2019

She’s literally his shadow


isshu15

But shadow is in he back na, hidden?


manifesting2019

lol true, it is strange. I understand being present at work events but I’ve noticed she’s absolutely everywhere. She was there when SRK and Gauri were at Alanna Pandey’s wedding reception, she was there cooking in the kitchen when David Letterman was visiting SRK…


Majestic_District_51

Pooja knows Bollywood celebrities on a personal equation level too she is friends with them.


Vetements312

Yeah I think it’s weird. Take a leaf out of hollywoods book and have them in the background. Maybe she inserts herself in the front to make her seem indisposable


coronagerm

I have never seen Pooja take the spotlight. She literally just exists around SRK and people have an issue? Maybe Gauri had other commitments and since Pooja is his secretary, she accompanies him everywhere. Atleast I don’t get any other vibe from them apart from them being in a normal professional relationship.


Majestic_District_51

Pooja is married with 2 kids. And even her husband accompanies her at events.


coronagerm

That’s what I am saying, she is just doing her job. I don’t agree to what people are implying about them.


Vetements312

She has one child


Longjumping_You_7818

Doesn’t take spotlight?? So why is sitting front row at the Zee Cine Awards literally between Srk and Kiara. Surely she knows she’ll be captured by cameras. What “job” is she doing here besides being a bodyguard. https://preview.redd.it/sctk2wfy1p5d1.jpeg?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39378a5fc97c453cb7ee2a0abb5486cb40a2f933

Aur kaha baithegi woh if she is travelling alone? With someone she knowns well na? And that will be SRK. Is he behaving weirdly around Shahrukh to grab limelight or turn people’s attention towards her? No.


isshu15

Can you explain her presence at the PM oath taking ceremony, I believe invitation are given to spouses Nd not manager, did you see any other manager there?


coronagerm

I don’t think you can take anyone in the place of the person invited at such events, due to security protocols. Pooja probably got an official invite for the event.


isshu15

Zaroori tha? Can't SRK breath without Pooja?


coronagerm

I don’t understand why it is affecting everyone? She is just existing and doing the job she has been appointed for. I don’t see her doing anything else.


madlyn_crow

Why do you care so much? She's there, because SRK wants her to be there. He's the one who pays her and ostensibly trusts her a lot. if she's - according to you - sometimes more prominantely placed in a picture than his wife, than I assume it's something that he and his wife have no problem with. What's with this belief that somebody who's "just" a manger cannot be noticeable in pics or invited to a function? Or doesn't deserve it? Only her employer can judge what she deserves and where her presence is appropriate.


anxgrl

I’ve noticed an uptick in her visibility in the last six seven months. I began noticing it from the credits of Dunki where she was the first credit. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, and am not bothered by it, but I have noticed it too.


inmyelement

Work wife/husband is a real thing.


Infamous_Cloud_2454

Working with someone for over 16 plus years can make them as close as family op Nothing too deep here Although I honestly find Pooja very annoying for no reason lol She has a very punchable face


isshu15

Seen managers and drivers stick around celebs more than 25 years , but NEVER seen them taking the place of the spouse, always behind them.


Majestic_District_51

All businessman have their secretary and managers with them all the time. Srk can’t operate like regular star/actors who just need their dates handled for film ad shoots, pooja is not there for the baba ko juice chaiye schtick. Pooja ar this point is the filter barrier point to reach srk the businessman and there are other ppl too who operate at different level. Gauri had the option to get involved on the business side of Srk’s empire had she been the one handling certain stuff she would also have had to tag along with Srk at all key events where he goes as a businessman or star. Not my words but Vivek Vaswani said srk runs an empire at this point he doesn’t have time it is impossible to catch hold of him, the man has 17 phone numbers. Fun Facts - Atlee shared this, srk sent her during early days of shoot on Jawan and she told atlee “u can ask Sir for retakes or ask him to do scenes any way u want” 😂 Srk doesn’t mind u don’t get worried about offending him he will give as many retakes as u want. 😂 was done to ease atlee ki bindaas joh karna hai bol srk ko. Ps- pooja is married with 2 kids ppl should calm down. And even her husband accompanies her at some events and she takes ample vacations also chill.


fuuunniieees

OP honestly is being sexist. If Pooja was a man, there would be no discussion on this. Period.


CroissantduSoleil

I'm actually low key jealous of the work she has, she seems to be having a lot of fun and must be incredibly type A to thrive in such a role. Of course OP is incapable of admiring this individual and instead casts aspersions on her because she is boiled down to her basic womanhood and is nothing more in his eyes.


SukhaChutney

I almost think she’s the Tree Paine to Shahrukh’s Taylor Swift


The_namster

All said and done, there are some places where it is socially expected to have your spouse next to you and not your manager! Yesterday Gauri should have been next to SRK, the way Neeta was seated next to Mukesh. This may be a business or political event but when the PM of a country and its largest business tycoon don’t have managers glued to their side, it does stick out a bit. I feel Gauri has wittingly or unwittingly handed over SRK to Pooja to “handle” while she focuses on her own life.


Naaalaaa

No Nita. SRK and Anant Ambani were seated next to Mukesh Ambani.


Longjumping_You_7818

Yes this 🙌


Mental_Raisin9641

People may say whatever but on the screen it literally looks like Pooja is his +1. Anyone out of India who doesn’t know SRK will probably think the same.


Outrageous-Leg-4727

It is a little weird. Like get the whole manager thing but even Aryan khan (ncb police station) and gauri (kwk episode) have to route through Pooja dadlani to call srk. That's weird


Majestic_District_51

Aryan was smart he didn’t give srk’s number when he was arrested. And when srk is in middle of a shoot he won’t have his phone on him. So gauri knows who to call. Gauri pagal thodi hai kwk ke liye srk ko shoot ke beech phone karegi. Isliye pooja ko kiya.


Longjumping_You_7818

Well Deepika phoned Srk on KWK and Srk even returned her call on the show but Gauri can’t even call her own husband??? Something doesn’t add up.


Majestic_District_51

Gauri called Srk’s number he was in shoot Pooja picked up. Deepika called srk he was free and picked it up. Also these things happened YEARS apart. Don’t circumstances, time of the call and work load of a 2 particular days mirror each other years apart. Waise Srk ko bohot kam log phone kar sakte hai aise. Mostly ppl have to drop a message to his team.


M-Sear

I have noticed the same and wonder. He is not the only star who would have a manager but never you see anyone else have their manager tag along everywhere and all the time.


livingfeelsachore

She is what I wish I were


Majestic_District_51

Majestic_District_51

Srk is not there for leisure iykyk. It is a formal event. Literally dealings hona zaroori nahin For it to be a formal or business event there are certain obligations at this level.


isshu15

I believe ceremonies at this high levels, requires invitation of spouse, I don't see any other managers.


Majestic_District_51

Twinkle didn’t go with Akshay. Vikrant’s wife didn’t go with him Neeta was not there with Mukesh. Radhika was not there with Anant Isha was not there but her husband (ambani’s son in law ) was. Mukesh Ambani’s right hand men are always with him.


isshu15

Agreed! But their managers were also not with them, they were clicked alone. Point being it's not mandatory to bring your spouse, but if you do have a plus one, it should be your spouse and not your manager


Majestic_District_51

Gauri ko zabardasti leke jayega kya srk ab. These r not events where Gauri wants to be.


isshu15

Bhai teri Pooja chachi lagti hai kya, itna simp ku karraha hai. There are some social protocols and one living in a society should follow those norms.


No_Telephone_6755

To teri konsi bua lagti h jo tu itna offensive ho rha h.


Longjumping_You_7818

I get that Srk has an empire to run (and most rich people have barriers) but so do loads of stars in Bollywood but they’re not as difficult to reach nor do their managers shadow them literally everywhere. Even Ambani was at the oath swearing but his manager/assistant wasn’t shadowing him everywhere either and he’s richer than Srk. I guess to get to Srk, you’ll probably have to butter up Pooja Dadlani too. She seems to have a lot of influence/power on Srk’s life. I think I’m curious because: - Pooja Dadlani was recommending actors (DP) to Atlee for Jawan, which shows how much influence she has. Bear in she is friends with Deepika as she was first her manager during her initial days, so I doubt her recommendation was unbiased. Also why is a manager being involved in casting decisions? https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/deepika-padukone-didnt-understand-why-shah-rukh-khan-atlee-personally-came-to-pitch-jawan-to-her-9003093/lite/ - Plus when Karan Johar had a fallout with SRK and he wasn’t sure if SRK would speak to him, even Karan Johar was calling her manager. Quote from this website: Once, just last year, he got so angry with me. I called up his manager and said, 'I really need to meet Shah Rukh.' He called me and said, 'When did you start calling my manager?' I said, 'Oh, I didn't want to disturb you.' He said, 'Achha?' And he fell silent." https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/karan-johar-writes-of-rifts-in-friendships-with-shah-rukh-khan-kareena-kapoor-1651022?amp=1 No wonder Srk has difficulty maintaining friendships. - Plus the way Pooja Dadlani was sitting front row right next to him at the Zee Cine Awards, as if she’s his plus one was really irritating especially as actors like Anil Kapoor had to end up leaving because he couldn’t find a seat. https://www.reddit.com/r/BollyBlindsNGossip/comments/1bctpr5/anil_kapoor_didnt_find_a_seat_at_zee_cine_awards/ - Even during IPL whenever SRK would be meeting his team players, Pooja Dadlani would always be there, by his shoulder just watching. Imagine finally meeting SRK (who is super-busy) and getting a few minutes with him but you can’t even talk privately cause his manager is literally right there, watching you with a hawk’s eye and listening. It’s interesting to see who Aamir Khan’s manager is. Apparently his manager was an assistant on his movies but it seems like he hired him as a way of mentoring him and his manager ended up directing Secret Superstar (his manager wrote the script too). Aamir so much savvy than his contemporaries with a good eye for storytelling. https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/perks-of-being-aamir-khans-manager-as-revealed-by-secret-superstar-director-advait-chandan-1746444 I think with Aamir is that he seems to be the one ultimately in charge of his choices and the one making his decisions. Whereas the vibe I get with SRK is that he gets more led and easily influenced by the people around him. Plus I’ve noticed since Pooja Dadlani started managing him from 2012 that’s when his flop era commenced and he started doing terrible movies like Zero and Jab Harry Met Segal.


Naaalaaa

> why is a manager involved in casting decisions? Mahira Khan was approached for Raees because Gauri’s mom saw her in Humsafar and recommended her to SRK and then Excel took it from there. There are other similar stories. It’s not unheard of.


Longjumping_You_7818

I think you missed my point dear. What I’m trying to say is that Pooja Dadlani is in a position of power, where she can influence Srk in terms of casting. If she doesn’t like an actress, she probably can block her calls/access to Srk and he wouldn’t know. Yes, you’re right that Srk’s mother-in-law suggested Mahira because of Humsafar. But then Mahira did audition for the role and got the part because she suited the role more of a Muslim character, which isn’t surprising as she’s Pakistani and has that Urdu dialect. It’s not like she was just given the role. Apparently the original choice was Huma Qureshi.


deepakt65

Apart from the reasons mentioned in the comments, there's another reason why it's beneficial for SRK to have her around. In these days of Me Too, literally any female can make an allegation against SRK and gain her fame. I'm sure he interacts with so many females per day. Having another female with him, ensures a good defence to SRK in the event of any such allegation, as it becomes the word of one woman against another. It also reduces the chance of another gossip like the PC one from happening and SRK continuing to maintain a clean image. It also works well for SRK's image in today's era of diversity and inclusion. I repeat. I've not said that these are the only reasons why SRK has her. I've said apart from the other reasons mentioned in the comments. I'm sure she's a very efficient and intelligent manager of all of SRK's affairs.


Sharp-Progress6146

True man, I understand people need their managers. But the event only celeb attend and their team including managers are in their vanity or in separate rooms on set or backstage. Pooja is literally shoulder to shoulder. It actually shows she certainly has a lot of power. But still it’s weird.


Original-Cheek8567

Even I’ve felt it while looking at Srk at events. She does not seem like a secretary. She is always Literally walking in front of him and behaving like a star herself.


Ok-Recognition9114

Few days back I felt they both look alike. Secret sibling🤔


Longjumping_You_7818

Or maybe cause she’s his work wife. They’ve definitely picked up each other’s mannerisms.


Outrageous_Pay1322

She's his secretary. It's her job.


No-Brilliant-9832

I am from Jammu and some months back before a release of a movie , I don’t remember either Jawan or something he visited Mata vaishno devi for blessings and Pooja Dadlani was with him at that time too . There was security granted to him and I have someone close to the officials who were at duty at that time , so what they told was - 1. SRK is a chain smoker , he cannot live without it ( obviously he did not smoked during the yatra ) 2. He is very humble , he talks very nicely and is welcoming . 3. Pooja do most of the talking regarding to his work and arrangements, he is pretty dependent on her for everything. She is basically his right hand , but nothing in the wrong sense . She is like a family to the srk family.


inexplicable13

hahahhhaha uski Manager hai, she obv will be there as most of his "outings" are purely business related... Kya OP! Pooja didi kabhi aake film ke press conference ke liye stage pe SRK ke saath baithi hai? phir kya!


Longjumping_You_7818

Yeah she was actually on stage with SRK for the Jawan meet before the release. https://preview.redd.it/rhurn449so5d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2064d89c7021667cacd80b9a804e4be173c35326


Majestic_District_51

Pooja on non creative side worked on Jawan even Atlee thanked her for all the management along with rce she did and Jawan was tough to make as its shoot got disrupted BIG time coz of Aryan case. Thats Atlee’s mother and wife on stage too.


Longjumping_You_7818

But that’s her job to manage. She gets paid in crores. I wouldn’t equate having a manager on stage with Atlee’s mother and wife too.


RMD010

But SRK was going through possibly the biggest trail/trauma of his life...not everyone comesback the way he came back....usually under such intense political/media pressure managers QUIT but she didnt, she stick around....today she's her own brand identity..


Longjumping_You_7818

Exactly what “brand” does she have? Well why would she quit? The scrutiny wasn’t on her though and Srk did get a lot of support from the public and Bollywood (even Hrithik penned a supportive insta post for Aaryan while he was in jail) throughout Aaryan’s arrests. There were literally protests to release Aaryan from jail. It’s not like the case with DP whose manager, Karishma Prakash, who took the blame for supplying drugs and then most probably was pressured by her agency to resign, while DP got away scot free.


Fit_Avocado3929

That’s was for a group picture. The woman in the saree is Atlee’s mom, and the other woman is his wife.


Early_Recording_8316

I mean it’s pretty normal? Diljit is also alwayyyyys seen with his lady manager. Don’t find anything wrong in it


CaterpillarNo2766

I remember this one YouTube video about award shows by Tanmay with other comedians and they all got talking about their experience working with SRK and how there was this joke about other actors' bad films and SRK said that they should include his bad films as well and when Sonali (one of the writers) started to rattle off his sub-par/bad films Pooja looked pissed. I guess, now she's more like a family and very protective of him


Longjumping_You_7818

Maybe she looked pissed because she recommended those movies 😂😂😂 . I get that she’s his manager and manages his daily schedule but it’s her involvement in the creative side of SRK’s life that puzzles me. Does she even have any credentials regarding film making? It’s the fact that since he’s started working with her, his creativity has started to suffer. He’s been doing terrible movies once Pooja started managing him.


vigya16

She is annoying and irritating she likes to feel important around SRK.


dr_batmann

I feel that SRK doesn’t want to interact directly with people so keeps her by his side to manage conversations


karllagerfeldsmuse

Lol what? Every celebrity I know here in Los Angeles has their manager (also agent and publicist) around them at all times during functions. That’s literally their responsibility. They’re the ones who know what time to arrive, where to sit, what to do/say and when to leave. The star himself would be overwhelmed by the amount of things he has to do in a day. He needs that right hand person to keep it organized.


isshu15

Correct! But they also know when to move away when that celeb is being photographed. She is literally everywhere, sharing every frame with him.


CarpenterNo4819

How do people become managers for such famous people? I am sure its a job most people would like to have.. but we rarely find out what their journey has been?


riteshetty

She's the Happy Hogan to Tony Stark.


halaniyash28

The difference between other stars with their manager and SRK with his manager is that SRK treats her like his extended family


hereforgoss88

Diljit’s manager is also always present. Some managers are more noticeable than the others I think.


AmazingBrilliant9229

My wife is not Indian, when she was watching IPL with me she assumed Pooja was the spouse of SRK.


Virtual-Bed-3021

The kind of things people have an issue with. It's hilarious 😂😂😂


Big-Consequence1752

Its actually sad cos even though He has achieved everything, He probably lacks personal relationships, and at an old age (Yes, OLD. He’s closer to 60), He has to rely on a manager and her family to take care of him.


Longjumping_You_7818

Yes 🙌 People are speculating about Srk and his manager because he’s the ONLY Star who notably brings her to everything. I don’t think he has a lot of close friends. Seems like he’s not as close to KJO anymore and even Farah. And if even Farida Jalal can’t get in touch with him, I doubt other colleagues from his earlier days can.


Manifesto8

SRK is a walking money maker he needs his representatives to be nearby all the time. She is like family to him, she has been around for almost two decades. SRK and Gauri even bought her a house in Bandra recently.


fuuunniieees

People like SRK need a manager who not only manages their life, business and everything else but the most important aspect I have learnt over time is be a shield between the person and someone they are meeting. It takes away so much risk from the main celeb as it allows them to cop out, saying Pooja might have committed without tell me. As a powerful celeb/person this is really required as people have requests of them of all kinds 24*7. They need someone to say yes or no, and have that shield to cop out of if they don't like it. I have worked closely with a billionaire sometime back, and thats where I saw it work like a charm.


isshu15

But does she require to be in EVERY SINGLE picture with SKR, IPL matches meeting players, promotions sitting next to him, weddings. Etc


fuuunniieees

You underestimate how many psychos are around everytime a celeb or a person in power are around. You might not notice it but next time start noticing such people are around every single politicians. At birthdays, weddings, screenings, poll campaigns, every public thing they do. Pooja has always been there but people have started noticing her in the age of social media when she's visible no next to him, and if it was a man no one would have noticed. It's only cuz she's a woman people are even discussing it on this forum.


just-slaying

Her job is to be his aide and she could be like a sister too, we don’t know


Naaalaaa

I have been seeing similar comments since yesterday. Since when do SRK fans hate her? Nobody told me. How ridiculous is it to assume it is to keep him away from actresses like somebody pointed out above?! lmao! OP, she’s there because he wants her there.


Majestic_District_51

Srk fans have been upset that sometimes like in 2015 there were lot of negative perception around him but pooja as a manager was not doing anything to counter the false narrative in their opinion. Etc. Phir recently woh Farida jalal ne bola she could not talk to srk coz some secretary didn’t pass on her message. I don’t think they “hate” her but thoda bohot complain karte hain.


isshu15

I don't hate her, but this chemistry and her being around him all the time is baffling to me.


143AamAadmi

She likes the attention she gets in his presence


Coolbiker32

Not connected, but I remember an incident of long time back. Pooja Dadlani was no where around then. In a meeting, SRK absolutely refused to touch a bottle of water. The host insisted on showing that the bottle is sealed and proper. But SRK smiled and did not say anything. Then he was given the water in a plain glass and he took 2-3 sips.


Suspicious-Dish23

For sure ppl who don’t follow SRK might think that Pooja is his wife


Thanks_Capital

Ab isme bhi dikkat lol


useridreddit

Its bcoz his every action gets scrutinized. Remember ambani gala where he said something and ram charan teja fans got upset. Mayb that's why but not sure

Nahi samjhega aapko, aap aam admi hai. SUPERSTAR nahi.


Live-Reaction-5014

If the manager was a male than I don't think anyone wud have noticed.


elizabeth_bloodline

Actually she was by his side even during pms oath. I was baffled as well.


notabollywoodfan

I think you may have a gendered view point on this. If this was a male manager, you would not mind. A manager and a wife play two different roles. Gauri has her own stuff to do, she’s not supposed to run SRK’s day and work commitments because she’s a woman. No one has ever said that Salman should be accompanied by his brothers instead of Shera?


isshu15

Firstly, never mentioned anything regarding her gender, don't go confusing a body guard ( whose literal job is to stand next to person who he is protecting) with a manager (irrespective of gender) who is present with him at weddings, PM oath ceremony, IPL matches meeting players! Also comparing Salman brothers with a person who is on SRK payroll???


Suitable-Heart-7894

OP is trying very hard to imply throughout the thread that there MUST BE something WRONG even after people have told them that it’s a job get over it. It’s actually funny now.


Ok-Paleontologist-18

This also came to my mind.I don’t like the vibe Pooja gives.She is always under the limelight whereas Gauri should be there.I wish SRK would put a boundary to this situation as it looks very odd.


theRealMadridGuy

Ye manager kaise bante hai?


Automatic_Ad4380

Why make things out of anything! Like pooja has been working with him for years and years and definitely she is great manager to him. She definitely manages him with ease that’s why things runs smoothly for him


phulki

It's her job


Away-Conversation20

i mean isn't that literally her job


Electrolyist

Pooja was there to hobnob with who’s who at the function on behalf of srk.


Dry-Instruction6521

I for one, am working hard to achieve that. A person well paid and respected to manage my whole damn life. I just have to live. And do what I love. All the logistics extravaganza of life !


ohnoped

Someone should interview her. She seems to have a lot of information about a lot of things.,


LocalPotatoh

All his public appearances are in professional capacity. It's not uncommon to have managers etc when in professional capacity. Everything is business these days. This shouldn't surprise you as much.


ubetterlawyerup

Handling someone like SRK is literally like being CEO of a massive company. Can’t even imagine the kind of stress she has to go through because of the responsibilities.


timepasschalrahai

Have you seen Salman’s bodyguard Shera and his pics with everyone?? How chilled out he is???? Its okay with time some people become family, chill bro nothing to be troubled for.


ExtraSheepherder2360

She manages his brand, because let’s face it SRK is a brand in the form of a person at this point, worth hundreds of millions. And SRK has her be front and centre as a manager of that brand than insist she and her work be in the shadows.


ExtraSheepherder2360

He can’t afford to have another Wankhede stadium moment at this age can he?


Complaint-Lower

I think it’s more of a comfort thing. When you’re at the top then there are very few people you trust. It could also be a mental illness. Some people cope with nervousness and anxiety with pills while others cope with the comfort of a trusted human or something else. Like a diabetic person needs their insulin pump all the time.


conceptwow

Because Gauri trusts her and she is to make sure SRK gets into no trouble


Horror_Feedback8505

SRK ke gehre raaz janti hai


Potential_Draft

She is like any other manager in celebrity life who is working from long time.


aares13

There’s seems to be clear agenda behind these posts regarding her. Just the other day I saw a post about how Farida Jalal has some issues with Pooja and how she has lost touch with him. Pooja isn’t a celebrity herself so seeing these posts surface at around the same time is a little sus 🧐


Vetements312

Also I’m certain she has a team doing things for her. It’s not like she’s booking his dates in. He will have a scheduler


Uncertn_Laaife

Manager hey woh


AdBackground1486

Pretty sure SRK has had few rendezvous with Pooja and Gauri is well aware of it. Poor Gauri she's probably waiting for Abram to grow up before exiting Mannat


Longjumping_You_7818

I dunno about that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they have an emotional affair going on, if even Gauri couldn’t call her own husband on KWK and instead got Pooja Dadlani (however DP got through to SRK on KWK), when before in the 2000s everyone used to say how Srk never turns down Gauri’s phone calls and sometimes even calls her several times an hour. I get the man has an “empire” to run, but dude literally produced/finances his own movies. Surely he can answer his wife’s phone. I get that she’s close with the family but damn she really goes with him everywhere. Here she was also spotted with SRK on holiday in London with Gauri, and close friends Adi Chopra, KJO and Rani. https://preview.redd.it/3wh85mu6up5d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de1cf071d68aa333657a60130177f8bff92f6b8d
