Shah Rukh Khan just turned 60, but if you ask his fans, and apparently Shashi Tharoor, the man hasn’t aged a day! The Bollywood superstar, known for his unmatched charm and razor-sharp wit, celebrated his milestone birthday in style. Among the flood of wishes he received, it was Tharoor’s clever and cheeky message that stood out, sparking a hilarious online exchange. True to form, SRK’s response proved once again that he’s not just the ‘King of Bollywood’, he’s also the undisputed king of comebacks.
Shah Rukh Khan responds Shashi Tharoor with trademark humour
Two days after his grand birthday celebration, ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ actor finally responded to Tharoor’s wish. The actor took to X to reply with his trademark humour.He wrote, “Thank u… Although I’m sure you will be around to see me playing the ‘child star’… and I will copy your hairstyle then. Ha ha..” His reply quickly went viral, with fans calling it the most ‘SRK thing ever’.
Shashi Tharoor called Shah Rukh Khan ‘King of Bollywood’
On X, Shashi Tharoor had shared a light-hearted message for the superstar, calling him the “ultimate King of Bollywood.” In his long post, Tharoor joked that the ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ actor didn’t look anywhere close to 60 and must be part of a “classified global operation of reverse ageing.”He wrote, “I have to admit, I’m finding this ‘60’ number deeply suspicious. A crack team of independent fact-checkers and forensic detectives investigated this ‘60’ claim and concluded: ‘In the complete and absolute absence of any discernible visual evidence—specifically, no non-photoshopped grey hair, no undeniable signs of slowing down, and a persistent appearance of someone significantly younger—the claim that Shah Rukh Khan is turning 60 cannot be factually confirmed.’”Tharoor’s humour didn’t end there. He playfully added that SRK might secretly be starring in a real-life version of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. “I suspect the official story is a cover-up and that SRK is actually starring in a real-life, decades-long, global-scale Bollywood adaptation of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He’s ageing in reverse,” he joked.
