Shah Rukh Khan Opens Up in Ask SRK Session: 11 Surgeries, Dunki Details, and Hilarious Comebacks
Bollywood superstar reveals details about his health, upcoming film Dunki, and provides witty responses to fan questions.
Shah Rukh Khan,58, disclosed during an Ask SRK session on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that he has had 11 surgeries since the release of his 1995 hit film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
"Life is a sprint. In response to a fan's inquiry about whether he was wearing his DDLJ t-shirt in a scene from the Dunki trailer, the actor wrote, "I am so happy that even after 11 surgeries, I can still run the same, and my same t-shirt fits me just fine.
The Bollywood actor also showed off his sense of humor when he answered a troll who was making fun of his earlier films, Jawan and Pathaan.
The troll made fun of Shah Rukh, writing, "Due to your highly effective and efficient PR team, your last two movies became blockbusters... do you still have faith in your PR and marketing team that #Dunki will also become a hit and will be another golden film from #Bollywood #AskSrk."
Life is a run I am so glad that even after 11 surgeries I can still srun the same and my same t shirt fits me just fine!! #Dunkitrailer https://t.co/GfuTV419rS — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) December 6, 2023
Relentlessly assertive, Shah Rukh shot back with his signature wit: "Usually, I don't respond to people who are so smart as you. However, I am making an exception for you because I believe you should receive treatment for constipation. I'll instruct my PR department to send you some golden medications.I hope you get better soon."
Normally I don’t answer amazingly intelligent people like you. But in your case I am making an exception because I feel you need to be treated for constipation. Will tell my PR team to send you some golden medicines…hope u recover soon. https://t.co/FmKfCZxmyp — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) December 6, 2023
When a user questioned Shah Rukh about whether Dunki had any "sax sux" moments, he responded in a hilarious way. Sax Sux toh samjha nahi. Tax Tux zaroor hoga pe tickets pe. "Daddy se lena," responded the Jawan actor.
During the interactive session, Shah Rukh not only made quick comebacks but also shared insightful information. In response to a question concerning the greatest life lesson he has discovered in the film industry and in life at large, he said, "There is nothing more beautiful than your own family and friends."
In response to questions about Dunki, one fan asked if Shah Rukh would speak any Punjabi dialogue in the movie. He answered this directly, saying, "Not too many. I've left that part to @taapsee and #Vicky because they are excellent speakers; I'm not that good at it."

Shah Rukh cautioned a user who inquired about whether Dunki would be an emotional movie to prepare for a lot of crying. I apologize, dear, but rona aayega.
