Prasad Oak recreates SRK's 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' moment at Grand Central Station with wife Manjiri
Mumbai, August 11
Marathi actor-director Prasad Oak recently took a nostalgic Bollywood route during a visit to the iconic Grand Central railway station at New York.
The actor recreated the iconic Shah Rukh Khan moment from the 2003 romantic drama 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'. His wife, actress and entrepreneur Manjiri Oak, also joined him in the fun recreation.
Prasad shared a video from the station on social media, where he can be seen posing in a manner reminiscent of Shah Rukh Khan's popular screen persona and also reciting the iconic dialogue from Kal Ho Na Ho.
Manjiri is also seen featuring in the frame, adding a playful touch to the recreation.
Sharing the picture, Manjiri wrote in Marathi that further in English read as, "Who knows if this station will be here tomorrow, so posting it right away."
She further added a playful disclaimer about Prasad's impersonation and wrote, "P.S. - Prasad's mimicry turned out to be a little Shah Rukh and a little Amitabh Bachchan, but the feelings are what matter."
The post featured the dialogue from 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', which was directed by director Nikkhil Advani in 2003.
The movie starred Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan in important roles. Set largely in New York, the film followed Naina Catherine Kapur, whose life changes after she meets Aman Mathur, played by Shah Rukh Khan.
Talking about Prasad Oak, he has himself had a long and diverse career, predominantly in Marathi cinema and television. He began his career in theatre and later became a familiar face on Marathi television, appearing in shows including 'Avaghachi Sansar', 'Asambhav' and 'Honar Soon Mi Hya Gharchi'.
As a filmmaker, Prasad directed 'Kaccha Limboo', which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Marathi. He subsequently directed films including 'Hirkani' and 'Chandramukhi'. As an actor, he has featured in films such as 'Ani... Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar', 'Dharmaveer', 'Dharmaveer 2', 'Phullwanti' and the Hindi film 'Blackout'.

As a Maharashtrian, I'm so proud to see Prasad sir representing Marathi cinema on an international platform. The playful note about his mimicry being "a little SRK and a little Amitabh" made me chuckle—bless his honest wife for keeping it real! 😄
Nice to see a Marathi actor getting this kind of love. Prasad Oak has done some brilliant work in films like 'Kaccha Limboo' and 'Dharmaveer'. This recreation is pure nostalgia—SRK's dialogues still hit different, even after 20+ years. Also, the couple goals are real here!
Honestly, this is such a beautiful tribute. 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' is one of those films that stays with you for life, and Prasad sir's recreation shows how deeply Bollywood is woven into our culture, no matter which industry you're from. Manjiri's caption in Marathi adds such a personal touch. ❤️
As someone who lives in New York, it's always fun to see Indians recreating these iconic moments at Grand Central. The station is indeed a vibe, and this video captures the nostalgia perfectly. Prasad and Manjiri make a lovely pair—very refreshing to see this kind of content.
Okay, but can we talk about how refreshing it is to see a celebrity couple just being goofy and having fun? No filter, no PR gimmick—just pure nostalgia and love. Manjiri's disclaimer about the mimicry is the best part, haha! Also, respect for
