Shah Rukh Khan has always had a special place in the hearts of Bollywood fans, not only for his blockbuster films but also for his humorous responses to critics and trolls. He isn’t afraid to call people out when they’re wrong, which is one of the reasons he constantly getting drawn into scandals. The actor disclosed a few years ago that he was once mistaken for Akshay Kumar, and his reaction was amusing.
Shah Rukh Khan came on the show Yaaron Ki Baraat with Anushka Sharma a few years ago and spoke with Riteish Deshmukh and Sajid Khan about a variety of issues. In a segment of the show he said, “Ek autograph, ek photo… mene kaha ‘(acting frantic) abhi nahi abhi nahi, mera plane chala jayega.’ Bahar sadak ke upar, terminal cross karke, tab aise bridges nahi the. Bohot mushkil se main vaha pahuncha, and wo lady peeche se, ‘please, please’. Maine kaha, ab rukiye ek minute. Main ghussa bhi hone lag gaya tha, kyunki main ne kaha plane miss ho jayega. Finally, maine check-in kiya, bahar nikla, maine kaha, ‘aiye aiye, le lijiye.’ (she said) ‘main bohot badi fan hun’. Mene kaha ‘ya ya madame, koi baat nahi.’ (the fan then said) ‘Uff Akshay, I love you’.
Shah Rukh Khan went on to explain how he signed the autograph for the lady while omitting the name Akshay Kumar. “Uss lady ko, main unka dil nahi todna chahta tha toh maine jo signature diya, wo Akshay Kumar hi diya tha.”, he said.
For the uninitiated, SRK has been preparing for the release of Pathaan, his next film, which is expected to enter theatres in 2023. With Deepika Padukone as the female lead and John Abraham as the antagonist, this film is generating a lot of buzzes. Siddharth Anand is directing the film, and actor Salman Khan is scheduled to make a cameo appearance.
