In a heartwarming and candid AskSRK session, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, known for his wit and charm, shared some affectionate words for Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli. The session, held during a break from his shooting schedule, was a delightful exchange between the actor and his fans on social media. Among the various questions asked, one about Virat Kohli stood out, and Shah Rukh's response captured the essence of their unique relationship.
Shah Rukh Khan and Virat Kohli's connection goes beyond the glitz and glamour of the entertainment and sports industries. The bond between them is tied to Anushka Sharma, one of Bollywood's leading ladies and Shah Rukh's co-star in several films, who happens to be married to Virat Kohli.
When a curious fan on Twitter asked Shah Rukh Khan to share his thoughts on Virat Kohli, the actor responded with genuine warmth: “I love @imVkohli he is like my own and I pray always for his well-being….bhai damaad jaisa hai humaara (Brother is like our son-in-law)!!!” This endearing term, "damaad jaisa" or "son-in-law-like," is a testament to the special place Virat holds in Shah Rukh's heart, emphasizing the strong bond that has developed over the years.
The reference to Virat as "son-in-law" stems from the fact that Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan have shared the screen in several iconic Bollywood films. Their collaborations, including "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi," "Jab Tak Hai Jaan," "Jab Harry Met Sejal," and "Zero," have left an indelible mark on Indian cinema. The last two films were produced under Shah Rukh's banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.
During the Ask SRK session, Shah Rukh Khan also provided updates on his upcoming film, "Dunki," directed by Rajkumar Hirani. He described the film as "funny and emotional," showcasing his versatility as an actor. Shah Rukh's playful response to a fan's question about the film's release date added a touch of humor to the session.
The lively and candid exchange with fans came to an end when Rajkumar Hirani playfully nudged Shah Rukh to get out of the bathroom and hinted at sharing the trailer for "Dunki." Shah Rukh, ever the witty conversationalist, responded with humor and affection for his fans.
As fans eagerly anticipate Shah Rukh Khan's next cinematic offering in "Dunki" and enjoy his spontaneous interactions on social media, this AskSRK session provided a glimpse into the actor's genuine affection for those close to him, including his "son-in-law" Virat Kohli. It's moments like these that remind us why Shah Rukh Khan continues to be the heartthrob of Bollywood and an icon beloved by millions around the world.
