Superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently treated fans to a delightful "Ask SRK" session on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

But the real gold came from his incredibly witty and funny responses.
The session was a sudden surprise, making fans even more excited. Shah Rukh, always known for his quick humor, certainly did not disappoint. He kept the mood light and fun, even when talking about his recent injuries.

Behind the Scenes and Family Life
One fan jokingly asked if he ever throws tantrums on set. Shah Rukh’s response was humble and funny. He laughed and said, “Nobody allows me to throw tantrums on sets. Now on ‘King’ even less. The director is too strict and organized.” It seems even superstars have rules to follow!

The conversation then moved to his talented family. A fan pointed out that Gauri Khan is producing, Aryan Khan is directing, and Suhana Khan is acting in “King,” asking if they’d leave any talent for others. Shah Rukh replied, “Really man….and you haven’t seen AbRam in action yet. Just keeping up with my lovely family is hard! But I am sure @gaurikhan is proudest of B***ds of Bollywood the most as a producer.” It’s clear talent runs deep in the Khan household.
