Factual Mistake
Just before getting down from the train to Deepika's village (Khamman) Sharhrukh and Deepika are shown in Sleeper Class (SL) Coach. When they get down, they get down from General (II) Class coach. In India, the General Class coaches are not joined, thus there is no way you can go from one coach to other.
