Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan has, over the years, built a name and legacy for himself that's unmatched. He has also earned millions of fans worldwide who love and adore him. And when the actor is targeted with hate, these are the fans who defend their beloved actor, leaving no stone unturned. A similar instance was seen recently, when a video of SRK from a wedding in Delhi went viral, wherein he was asked to say 'Zuban Kesari' on stage by the bride.

Shah Rukh Khan asked to say 'Zuban Kesari' at wedding

In the clip going viral online, SRK, in his signature style, combines humour and charm to decline the request by the bride. Laughingly, he can be seen telling the bride, "Ek baar business walon ke saath business kar lo, jaan nahi chhodte. Gutka wale bhi na yaar." The bride continued to persist, while hoping he would say the dialogue. Shah Rukh held her hand with affection and responded, "Har baar jab karta hoon, paise leta hoon, darling. Pappa ko keh dena tum. Achi baat karte hain… main thodi na yahaan pe zubaan kesari karunga."

For the unversed, 'Zuban Kesari' is the tagline of an advertisement that Shah Rukh Khan did for Vimal. Over the years, the line has become thing that people joke about even years later.

Netizens react

The clip attracted a lot of reactions from netizens. While some users questioned why SRK must perform at such wedding, several fans called out the bride's behaviour and the treatment. A user shared, "I was in this wedding reception in delhi -guys side were from vimal pan masala (sic)." Another fans commented, "That's under the belt treatment. Must be a lesson for the so-called celebs (sic)."

A user added, "He is just doing his job without any arrogance", while a fan noted, "Tbh the girl was rude". Calling out the behaviour, one user wrote, "We have reached a stage in this country where there is no dignity of labour even for the richest actors."

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in his highly anticipated film King, which is expected to release in 2026. The film is a multi-starrer also featuring Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan and more. Following King, the superstar will be seen in the much-awaited Pathaan 2.
