As Pathaan continues to make merry at the box office at home and abroad, Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday afternoon appeared in one of his AskSRK sessions on Twitter to show his gratitude for the love and support he has been receiving from moviegoers.
The Bollywood star set things off with the tweet “I am loving it that you are loving it. #AskSRK for a few minutes to share more of love if that’s possible….and keep the questions ZINDA!!! #Pathaan”
Most of the fans inevitably wanted to know if Shah Rukh had been moved by the tidal wave of love and affection for him after Pathaan’s release. The actor cheekily responded with the modified version of his famous dialogue from Kal Ho Na Ho. “Naach gaao hanso kya pata kal ho na ho….lekin sab karo thoda pyaar se. Look after each other when u are celebrating Pathaan please,” he said.
Asked about the message conveyed by Pathaan and how it upheld the tradition of secularism in India, Shah Rukh said, “If there is one truth it is : ki hum sab ek hi maa aur pita ki santaan hain. Bharat ke. Hindustan ke…India ke. Jai Hind.”
When a fan tried to wind him up by comparing him with Salman Khan, The 57-year-old actor gracefully termed Salman as the ‘GOAT’. “Salman bhai is…woh kya kehte hain aaj kal…young log…haan….GOAT. (greatest of all time ),” he replied.
Replying to a fan’s tweet who asked the actor about the existence of his abs in his upcoming film Jawan, Shah Rukh wittily said, “Ab ‘abs’ toh Pathaani mein…Jawani mein…aur Dankuni mein hamesha rahenge.”
According to Shah Rukh, his Pathaan co-star John Abraham’s Jim was “too solid” and had beaten him badly in the movie. The actor also took time out to give his love to the younger fans and termed himself as “Pathaan uncle”.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan, which arrived in cinemas on January 25, also features Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia, Ashutosh Rana and John Abraham.
