I think #ShahRukhKhan is a time traveller or something like that. He knew Andhbhakts were going to boycott #Pathaan and hence, he blew up the social media 7 yrs earlier by responding them😳.
This was his reply which suits accurate to the current condition! pic.twitter.com/CZe4UuqoZ7— Atharva Srkian✨ (@SRKian_0519) January 5, 2023
Today I have watched many videos, where people are abusing #SRK and threatening him for his life. It’s 100% wrong. If You want to oppose his film #Pathaan then do that with dignity and respect. After all he is a respected person in the society. So pls don’t misbehave.
