Just days before turning 60, Shah Rukh Khan lit up social media with another round of his beloved #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter). On October 30, the Bollywood icon invited fans to send in their questions using the hashtag, and as expected, the responses came flooding in. True to form, SRK replied with a mix of humor, humility, and heartfelt charm, leaving fans entertained and craving more.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Heartfelt Nod to Salman Khan
Among the many questions, one fan asked SRK to describe Salman Khan in a single word. Without hesitation, Shah Rukh responded with, “Best Bhai. Love him.” This simple yet powerful reply reaffirmed the enduring bond between the two superstars. Their friendship, which dates back to the 1990s, has weathered ups and downs but remains one of Bollywood’s most cherished relationships. From their legendary pairing in Karan Arjun to public appearances and mutual support, SRK and Salman have consistently referred to each other as brothers.
Salman’s Surprise Cameo in Aryan Khan’s Debut Series
Adding another layer to their camaraderie, Salman recently made a cameo in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood*. The move not only thrilled fans but also highlighted the close ties between the two families. When asked which character from the series he relates to most, Shah Rukh Khan cheekily replied, “Ghante ka Badshah obviously!!!” — a witty nod to his own persona and Aryan’s bold storytelling.
Meanwhile, fans witnessed a rare and unforgettable moment at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh. Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan — the three titans of Indian cinema — shared the stage together. They spoke candidly about their careers, their friendship, and the long-standing dream of collaborating on a film. During the discussion, Salman teased SRK to repeat his famous line: “Nobody can afford all three of us in one film.” SRK, ever the showman, quipped, “I don’t want to say it in Saudi, because everybody will get up and say, Habibi, Habibi, done, done, done.”
Teasing the Fans About King
Naturally, fans were eager to know more about SRK’s upcoming film King, directed by Siddharth Anand. When one fan cleverly referenced SRK’s previous films — Pathaan and Jawan — and asked what audiences should prepare for in King, SRK delivered a cryptic five-word tease: “Ab sab khula chodhh doh…” The line, loosely translated as “Now leave everything open,” sparked speculation and excitement across social media.
The buzz around King has been building steadily. With a star-studded cast featuring Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Raghav Juyal, Abhay Verma, and Suhana Khan, the film promises to be a high-octane spectacle. Given the massive success of Pathaan, expectations from the SRK-Siddharth Anand collaboration are sky-high.
Birthday Surprise Incoming?
Rumors suggest that the first look of King might drop on SRK’s birthday, November 2. However, when asked directly about the teaser, SRK playfully dodged the question. “Abhi title toh announce kiya nahi officially… tum teaser par kaise pahunch gaye!!!” he joked, keeping fans on their toes.
The session wasn’t all about films. Fans also asked personal and light-hearted questions. When someone asked why he looks so handsome, Shah Rukh replied with flair: “I think age suits me… sexy at sixty!!! Superb at seventy… Enticing at eighty and so forth.” Another fan asked if there was a room available at Mannat, his iconic residence. SRK responded, “I don’t even have a room in Mannat these days… I am living on rent,” once again proving that his humor is as sharp as ever.
Working with Aryan and Suhana
One fan asked how it feels to be directed by his son Aryan and now acting alongside his daughter Suhana. SRK’s response was both humble and touching. “On sets I respect them like my colleagues and appreciate their inputs and hard work. Off sets, I just wish and pray their hard work pays off.” His words reflected a father’s pride and a professional’s admiration.
When asked about Aryan’s upcoming series, SRK teased, “The ending so unexpected!!!” — a statement that has only intensified curiosity around the project.
From teasing King to celebrating friendships and family, Shah Rukh Khan’s #AskSRK session was a masterclass in fan engagement. As his 60th birthday approaches, the excitement surrounding his next cinematic chapter continues to grow. Whether it’s his witty one-liners, emotional reflections, or cryptic clues, SRK proves time and again that he’s not just the King of Bollywood — he’s the King of hearts.
