Shah Rukh posted on his account, “Saw the rain outside…mostly easy….so felt like sharing the next half hour or so with you all. If u have the time let’s do an #AskSRK. Fun questions and answers only…please, as I am recovering from an injury…so…”
A user asked, “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).”
In response, Shah Rukh replied, “Bhai Tere sawaalon ka bachpana jab chala jaaye…Phir kuch acchha saa puchna! Tab tak temporary retirement mein reh please (Brother if your childish questions are over then you can ask something good as well! Till then you can consider temporary retirement).”
