Shah Rukh Khan surprised his fans on Saturday with a spontaneous #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter) after a long hiatus. The actor, who is recovering from an injury, answered a range of questions with his signature wit, including a sharp retort to a user who suggested he should retire.
When a user wrote, “Bhai ab Umar hogyi retirement lelo dusre bache logo ko aage aane do (You have become old now, consider retiring so that the other kids can come),” Shah Rukh clapped back, “Bhai Tere sawaalon ka bachpana jab chala jaaye…Phir kuch acchha saa puchna! Tab tak temporary retirement mein reh please (Brother, when your childish questions are over, then you can ask something good! Until then, you can consider temporary retirement).”

When asked about his feelings on winning the National Award for Best Actor for his performance in Jawan, Shah Rukh replied, “YAY!!!!! I feel like the King of the Nation!!! Too much honour and too much responsibility to try and excel and work harder!!” He shared the award with Vikrant Massey, who won for 12th Fail.
The actor also shared a health update, revealing that his current favorite pastimes are “just physio…a bit of reading….and rehearsing lines for King….and sleeping a lot.” It was reported in June that he suffered an injury while filming an intense sequence for his upcoming movie, King.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is also rumored to star Suhana Khan, Saurabh Shukla, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Raghav Juyal, and Anil Kapoor, although no official announcement has been made yet.
