Fans Find Deepika Padukone’s TIME Magazine Writeup For Shah Rukh Khan ‘Bland’

New Delhi: The nation was proud of Shah Rukh Khan and SS Rajamouli who were featured in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2023 list. In the paragraph that actress Deepika Padukone wrote about SRK, she described the bond she shares with SRK, and called him “one of the greatest actors of all time”. “But what truly sets him apart is his mind, his chivalry, his generosity,” she wrote.

Deepika added that 150 words could not do justice to the phenomenon that is Shah Rukh Khan, and that, unfortunately, has been the opinion among some fans as well. “Let’s just say that I am fairly disappointed with this small piece [Deepika Padukone] wrote on [SRK] for [TIME’s] list of 100 Most Influential People of 2023,” tweeted author Aseem Chhabra.

The tweet has been somewhat divisive. While many echoed Chhabra’s opinion, others argued that it was not an “essay competition” and said that Deepika’s words adequately expressed her admiration for SRK.

Bono wrote so well on Salman Rushdie. Yes, SRK deserved a much better write up.
