Trust Shah Rukh Khan to make a comment on something important, without deliberately making a comment on it. On the AIB podcast, Shah Rukh Khan showed us how totally intolerant and ludicrous our society was becoming by getting offended at anything that a celebrity says (or doesn’t say) at the drop of a hat. Without commenting on anything at all, the star made a critical comment on how the frequent episodes of outrage has threatened everyone’s freedom of expression or choice to remain silent.
Here’s how SRK told us that we all need to calm the f**k down:
1. When SRK Distanced Himself Completely From the Infamous ‘Roast’
“Mujhe sirf roast chicken maalum hai. Actually PETA waalon, main khaata bhi nahin hoon chicken!”
2. When He Called US President Donald Trump ‘Honourable’
3. When he described the Sanjay Leela Bhansali incident on the sets of Padmavati without mentioning anything!
Thanks SRK, let’s hope everyone gets the message loud and clear!
