Earlier today, Shah Rukh Khan engaged in one of his frequent question and answer sessions with his fans and well wishers on X. While he responded to some questions with his trademark wit and many with courtesy, one particular comment provoked the superstar. An X user told Shah Rukh to take retirement from acting and suggested that he allow youngsters to step up and take over the space that he now occupies. In his response, Shah Rukh wrote, "Bhai Tere sawaalon ka bachpana jab chala jaaye…Phir kuch acchha saa puchna! Tab tak temporary retirement mein reh please." It translates to: "Brother, when the childishness of your questions goes away... Then ask something good! Until then, please stay in temporary retirement."
Many users commended the actor for his riposte, but some said that he should have ignored the comment or let the AI chatbot Grok to do the honours. Shah Rukh is known for his generosity and chivalry within the Hindi film industry, and the latest moment stands out as a rare case of outburst from the superstar.
In the conversation that lasted for a while, Shah Rukh also responded to many of his fans sending him their best wishes to his upcoming series with son Aryan Khan, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Netflix disclosed earlier today that the show, featuring Shah Rukh in a cameo role and Aryan as a creator, will release on the streaming platform tomorrow. According to the official description, it is a "high-stakes drama" that follows "an ambitious outsider and his friends" as they "navigate the chaotic, larger-than-life, yet uncertain world of Bollywood."
At the end of the question and answer session, Shah Rukh also assured fans that he is doing physio therapy as part of his recovery from the recent injury. According to reports, Shah Rukh has sustained an injury on the set of his upcoming action film King. He is fresh from his Best Actor win at the National Film Awards for his performance in 2023's Jawan.
