The King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan is a blend of entertainment and wisdom and this is quite apparent when he is talking or chatting with his fans. He loves to interact with the youngsters and amazingly, he can chat on any topic under the sun. What’s more, the actor has the ability of giving lessons for life in very simple words and that too, with a smile on other person’s face.
We can also support the above statement with the fact that he is being called upon by many universities as their chief guest where he imparts his life experiences to the students. And not to forget, you can see this wisdom of King Khan in his character of Dr. Jehangir Khan which he has played in his latest movie, “Dear Zindagi”.
However, Shah Rukh has always invited trouble and criticism whenever he has spoken his heart out; like this time, his “pro-feminist” comment which he made during a promotional event of Dear Zindagi didn’t go well with Twiteratti and consequently, they slammed him.
Here’s what SRK said,
“This film is extremely important not only for me but for them, too. I don’t want to sound pro-feminist and say that these girls have made a beautiful film yaar, but they really have. I’ve always said that I enjoy making films with women. I’m aware that they have this respect towards me, but I haven’t made them feel that way, they were just kind to feel that.”
Well, Shah Rukh might have made that comment in a good spirit but Internet needs an answer as to why he has a problem in sounding pro-feminist.
Below are some tweets in this connection:
