Shah Rukh Khan’s Quick Wit on Display as He Declines Fan’s Cigarette Offer
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan celebrated 31 years in the Indian film industry on June 25, 2023. To mark the occasion, he took to Twitter to engage in an interactive session with fans, known as Ask SRK. During the session, a fan asked if he could someday smoke with the actor. SRK’s witty reply left the internet in splits.
The fan tweeted, “Sath me cigarette pine chaloge kya @iamsrk sir ???” (Would you like to smoke with me?)
SRK responded, “Nahi beta jawan ke din jawani ke josh mein theater pe jaana hai!” (No, son, I want to go to the theater in the excitement of my youth.)

The reply was a reference to SRK’s early days in Bollywood, when he would often smoke cigarettes before going to the theater to watch movies. The reply was also a reminder of SRK’s commitment to staying healthy, as he has quit smoking in recent years.
Being able to entertain lots of people lots of times. That’s it. https://t.co/UazXvjrwx7
