On June 25, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan hosted an #AskSrk on twitter to celebrate his debut that came in 1992 with Deewana. To commemorate the significance, Shah Rukh was at his wittiest self and some of his best replies saw him at his most sarcastic and charming self.
Details
On this day 29 years ago, a thin, crooked nosed actor took to the big screen. With his arms outstretched, his small neck nod & his dimples, he created a new benchmark for what romance actors must do. In the course of 29 years, he emerged as one of the highest paid actors in the world, established his own production house, became the biggest brand endorsers & created a legacy that is unparalleled and unprecedented.

While his on-screen persona helped him to get more films and leave deeper footprints in the hearts of his fans, it has been his off-screen persona that sets him apart from other peers in the Bollywood industry.
Known for his precise speech, his well-read thought process & his rib-tickling wit, Shah Rukh lived up to the expectations of his fan and conducted a hilarious #AskSrk session. Here are some of his best replies:
A fan asked him a question regarding the upcoming projects from Khan’s production brand Red Chillies Entertainment and wrote, “What’s cooking in @RedChilliesEnt kitchen these days?” To this, Khan had a flavorful and culinary reply and wrote back, “Some very masaaledaar movies…”

A concerned fan asked Khan about his health, to which Khan mentioned that it is not as great as his Bollywood colleague John Abraham.

Another testament of Khan’s wit came when a fan asked him whether the future holds any film announcement by Khan or not. To this, the Deewana actor wrote, “Loudspeakers make announcement. I will gently allow my films to enter your hearts soon. “

Much akin to a concerned fan who asked Khan about his health, another fan tried to gague Khan’s state of mind. To this the richest Bollywood actor made a reference to the tumultuous Mumbai rains and replied, “Like the Mumbai rain”.

Shah Rukh also gave his fans from Southern India a reason to rejoice as he gave a positive remark on Tamil film industry actor Vijay. When a follower asked what Shah Rukh Khan has to say about “Thalapathy” Vijay, the actor wrote a curt yet significant reply – “very cool”.

Interestingly, Shah Rukh decided to show his sarcastic side when it came to a question regarding filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. When a fan asked Shah Rukh, “Are you doing a film with Rajkumar Hirani?”, Shah Rukh sarcastically answered, “Just going to call him and request him….he sleeps late!!”

While mainstream news media is inferring that Shah Rukh is actually opening up about his project with Hirani, we at Shiksha News infer this is Shah Rukh at his sarcastic best.
All these replies reinforce the notion in his fans’ minds that Khan is meant to take on such questions. Throughout his career, Shah Rukh has been known to give funny, warm and witty replies, with some of his best answers coming in Koffee with Karan, which is hosted by Karan Johar, a longtime fan of Shah Rukh and a professional collaborator.
On the professional front, fans of Shah Rukh Khan are desperately awaiting his next film – Pathan – which comes from the Yash Raj film banner. The Padma Shri award winner was last seen in Zero in 2018, which was a box office failure.
