Shah Rukh Khan’s AskSRK sessions on Twitter are a continuous source of delightful surprises. Each reply he gives is filled with his renowned wit, but some truly stand out. SRK engaged in a live question and answer session on Monday evening to kick off the work week.
The topics covered a wide range, from specific inquiries about his upcoming film Jawan to more abstract subjects. During the session, a fan cleverly asked the 57-year-old actor why he always allocates a standard 15 minutes for these chat sessions (although it should be noted that they consistently run longer) and playfully incorporated Gauri Khan into the question.
The fan asked,
Yeh hamesha aapke paas bas 15 min hi kyu hote hain, bhabhiji ghar ka kaam aap se hi karwati hain kya (Why do you always have only 15 minutes, does your wife make you do the house work)?”
Ye hamesha aapke paas bs 15 min hi kyu hote hain, bhabhi ji ghar ka kaam aap se hi karwati hain kya?@iamsrk#AskSRK

This question presented the perfect opportunity for Shah Rukh Khan to respond with his signature charm. He quickly retorted,
“Beta apna kahaan(i) humein na suna… jaa ghar ki safaai kar (Son don’t tell me your own story, go clean the house)
Beta apni kahaan humein na suna…jaa ghar ki saaf safai kar!! https://t.co/IW6p6XakMI

It is important to interpret Shah Rukh Khan’s answer in the lighthearted manner it was intended, rather than attributing a sexist undertone to the original question, which undoubtedly contained such implications.

Shah Rukh Khan’s AskSRK sessions were also a prominent part of his promotional activities leading up to and following the release of Pathaan, his blockbuster action film in January. It is safe to assume that these Twitter Q&A sessions will become more frequent as the release date of SRK’s next film Jawan on September 7 approaches. Additionally, Shah Rukh Khan is currently working on Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki.
