The craze of Shah Rukh Khan and his latest offering Pathaanhas taken over the world. It continues to break box office records at home, as well as overseas. SRK, who is basking in the success of his film, took out some time to interact with his fans on Saturday. Following his usual trend, the actor conducted an ‘Ask SRK’ session on Twitter and answered queries on his films, personal life and co-stars. One fan echoed the thoughts of many and asked Shah Rukh Khan, “Without any domestic promotion, pre-release interaction ke baawajood bhi Pathaan itna roar kar rahi hai [even without pre-release interaction, the film is roaring at the box office] #BoxOfficeCollection.” The superstar had the most epic reply for the fan. He tweeted, “Maine socha Sher interview nahi karte toh iss baar main bhi nahi karunga! Bas jungle mein aakar dekh lo. #Pathaan [I thought lions don’t give interviews, so, I also won’t do it this time. Just come and watch the film in jungle].” 

This is precisely why Shah Rukh Khan is regarded as the king of witty replies by his fans.
