Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, often referred to as the “King of Bollywood”, has on several occasions opened up about trolling on social media, since he has been successful for over two decades and has a huge global fan base. SRK claimed that people keep calling him “talentless” and that he makes “unintelligent films”, but his response was very graceful and full of wit.
In a recent interaction, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about not so intelligent film critics who raise eyebrows on his filmmaking decisions, as follows: “People say I perhaps don’t have intellect or that my films aren’t intelligent; fine. I never claimed to be an intellectual filmmaker. I am a filmmaker who entertains, whose films connect emotionally, and who brings happiness to the audience,” the actor replied.
Hailed for his humility and humor, SRK added that he will not let online negativity prevent him from doing what inspires his creativity. “One cannot please everyone. I do what I love, and I’m grateful that millions enjoy it too,” he said, all of which earned him cheering from fans across the internet.
Fans Rally Behind SRK
Soon after his statement came out, social media was filled with messages of support. Fans trended the hashtag #WeLoveSRK and scored points on his down-to-earth attitude. His record-breaking performances in Pathaan and Jawan drew the attention of many, silenced critics, and reassured millions that he is one of India’s most bankable stars.
“SRK doesn’t even have to prove his intelligence-his success speaks for itself,” it reads from one user, while another commented: “Only Shah Rukh can turn hate into humor and class.”
