Shah Rukh Khan is known for his respectful and generous nature in the industry. However, there was a time when he was on the verge of losing his cool at a press conference for his film ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, alongside co-stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
When Shah Rukh Khan asked a reporter to stand up
In a viral video that has gone viral on the internet, the reporter can be heard saying, “Shah Rukh, Mazakbaazi Bohot Hogayi, film Ke Baare Me Thodasa Bataiye, Kuch Likhne Ke Liye Toh Chahiye, channels Ke Liye Kaafi kuch hogaya hai hai (Shah Rukh, stop joking around. at least; Shah Rukh was clearly shocked by the way the question was asked. But he quickly got back into the game. Khan asked the journalist to ask a question and tried to get him noticed by the media. Shah Rukh Khan said, “Kaha ho Kaha Pe? Aap Sawal Puchiye, Khade Rahiye (Where are you? Ask a question, stand up).” The reporter then asked what kind of film it was, to which Khan quickly replied, “Romantic film Hai. Kahani uski yeh hai ki… Pyaar Mohabbat Ki Kahani Jisey Kehte Hai… love story (It’s a romantic film, a love story).” However, the reporter did not stop and said, “Love story toh hai, kaisi love story? Mature love story hai? (Yes, I get it’s a love story, but what’s a mature love story?)” Khan replied, “It’s a mature love story. It got a classic love story, with a modern twist.”
Here’s how Shah Rukh Khan concluded the entire episode
When the reporter tried to sit down, Khan again asked him to continue standing, asking a question and he would answer them “seriously”. He said, “Khade Rahiye, Sawal Puchte Rahiye, Batata Hu seriously.” Concluding his answer, Shah Rukh said, “Usually what we do is when we make a film, we expect people to go and watch it on Friday and enjoy it. So, Jab Aapko Baki Kahani Jaanni hogi, toh aap usko Dekh le (so if you want to know the rest of the story, watch it in theatres).” Srk continued, “Next question, ask me more.”
