Mumbai: During a recent ‘Ask SRK’ session on X, a netizen advised the ‘King’ actor to retire and make way for younger artists.
Shah Rukh, known for his calm and composed nature, apparently didn’t like the question and gave it back to the X user.
Asked about his retirement plan, Shah Rukh said, “Bhai Tere sawaalon ka bachpana jab chala jaaye… Phir kuch acchha saa puchna! Tab tak temporary retirement mein reh please (Brother, when the childishness in your questions goes away… then ask something good! Till then, please stay in temporary retirement).”

Shah Rukh’s reply soon went viral and fans lauded the actor for his witty response.
When another user asked SRK what hurts more — a gym injury or trolls — the Bollywood badshah replied, “Dumbells and Action can break my bones…but words can never hurt me!! I am too busy listening to the music in my heart man.”
