Shah Rukh Khan took to his Twitter a few minutes ago, and wrote, “I am loving it that you are loving it. #AskSRK for a few minutes to share more of love if that’s possible….and keep the questions ZINDA!!! #Pathaan.” He answered numerous questions, a lot of which were about Salman Khan’s cameo in Pathaan. One Twitter user wrote that while Pathaan is a hit film, SRK cannot compete with Salman Khan at the box office. “@iamsrk Sir Pathaan tho hit ho gyi lekin Salman Khan ka muqabla nhi kr paoge box-office pe #AskSRK,” wrote the Twitter user. Shah Rukh had the most humbling response, and he was all praise for Salman. He wrote, “Salman bhai is…woh kya kehte hain aaj kal…young log…haan….GOAT. ( greatest of all time ) #Pathaan.”
