In the bustling city of New Delhi, the charm and wit of the king of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, once again captivated a delighted audience. During a special promotional event for his highly anticipated film ‘Dunki’, Khan did not only showcase his signature magnetic presence but also delivered a playful response to those who have attempted to impersonate him. As someone who’s left a profound impact through his onscreen persona, SRK’s interaction with his fans and mimics became an internet sensation.
The viral video reveals that Shah Rukh Khan, affectionately known as King Khan, indulged in sharing personal anecdotes about watching his old movies with his children. With candor and humor, he recounted, “I didn’t realize so many years have passed and there are days when I tell my children ‘Come and watch my film’. They were nice when I first showed them, but now they started saying, ‘Papa, how is your hair? Look at the way you look.’ It made me feel a bit awkward.”
Adding to the light-hearted atmosphere, Khan reenacted the mimicry artists who tried to replicate his iconic dialogues, playfully questioning, “Maine kab aesa bola yaar? Somebody says, ‘Mai Shah Rukh Khan ki mimicry karta hu. I love you kkkkk.’ That wasn’t really how it was,” he said, amused by the exaggerated interpretations of his film lines that have proliferated the internet. However, teasing the audience, he graciously demonstrated how his famous lines should be delivered, leaving onlookers in awe.
The forthcoming movie ‘Dunki’, featuring Shah Rukh Khan alongside a stellar cast including Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, is a presentation by JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films. A product of the creative minds of writers Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon, ‘Dunki’ narrates the touching story of four friends. Their quest to reach foreign lands is portrayed as both arduous and transformative, a journey that promises to make their dreams a reality.
Rooted in the real-life experience, ‘Dunki’ weaves a rich tapestry of love and kinship, blending comical and poignant elements to explore the lives of its diverse characters. Audiences are expected to be taken on an emotional rollercoaster that confronts the hilarious and the heartbreaking, discovering answers that are as much about the destination as the journey itself.
The promotional event, highlighted by Shah Rukh Khan’s engaging antics and genuine interaction, has set the stage for the anticipation of ‘Dunki’. His ability to laugh at himself and embrace the affectionate teasing of his family only furthered his lovable image. Demonstrating the infectious spirit that has charmed millions, Khan’s mimicry of his mimics didn’t just showcase his charisma, but also underpinned his endearing humility in the face of widespread adulation.
Indeed, the Baadshah of Bollywood, even after years in the spotlight, proves to be an entertainer at heart, thrilling fans with not just his performances on the silver screen but also with his spontaneous wit off of it.
