Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan recently engaged with fans during his popular #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter).
Witty Responses to Fan Queries
During this interactive Q&A, Shah Rukh showcased his classic wit and humor. When a fan asked, “Can we see your son directing you in a full-fledged movie? #ASKSrk,” he quipped, “If he can afford me!!! And my tantrums.”
Another fan prompted him to encourage his son, Aryan Khan, to create a sequel to his directorial debut, “The Bads of Bollywood.” The fan wrote, “Sir, tell Aryan we need the second part of Badas of Bollywood.” Shah Rukh responded, “It’s very difficult to tell your children what to do. But I am sure he will be working on it.”
Aryan Khan’s Successful Debut
For those who may not know, Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, “The Ba***ds of Bollywood,” premiered on OTT on September 18 and swiftly captured the audience’s attention. The web series received significant acclaim, with both industry insiders and fans praising Aryan’s work. At the grand launch event preceding the release, he delivered a heartfelt public speech that endeared him to many.
A particularly memorable moment from that event drew comparisons to Shah Rukh’s humor. Aryan, feeling nervous, humorously revealed that he had prepared for three nights. In a light-hearted touch, he joked about carrying a handwritten note in case of a power cut or teleprompter glitch, even pulling out a torch, much to the amusement of the crowd.
A Heartwarming Father-Son Moment
The highlight of the event came when Aryan said, “Aur agar tabhi mujhse koi mistake ho jaye, to papa hai na (In case I still go wrong, my father is right here to help).” Shah Rukh then joined in the fun, playfully revealing his back, where a copy of Aryan’s speech was taped, ready to assist if necessary.
The clip from this entertaining exchange went viral, flooding social media with enthusiastic comments. The cast of “The Ba***ds of Bollywood” includes Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sehar Bamba, Manoj Bawa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, and Gautami Kapoor, with special cameos from Salman Khan, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh. Aryan collaborated with Bilal Siddiqui and Manav Chauhan to create this engaging series.
