During a rapid-fire round, Shah Rukh Khan was asked who he would rather date- Sonam Kapoor or Deepika Padukone. King Khan had a candid, hilarious reply! He said, “I would have dated them both before I saw your show. But now, I can’t. Because if we break up and they b*tch about me like they did with Ranbir, I’ll die!”

4. Shah Rukh Khan’s reply on not winning awards

He was asked by Karan Johar, “If one year you didn’t win any award, what would you say?” Shah Rukh Khan had a witty reply ready, and without taking any time, he replied, “Like I always say, the awards don’t deserve me!”

5. Shah Rukh Khan on being ‘demotional’

Not just hilarious responses, Shah Rukh Khan has also often shared his own experiences and insights, leaving us in awe of his wisdom. One such time was when he talked about youth being ‘detached yet emotional’.

During his appearance with Alia Bhatt on Koffee With Karan season 5, Shah Rukh Khan mentioned, “Youth has a gift of detachment. To get into that zone as an actor or a performing artist is wonderful. To be detached yet emotional, it’s what I call ‘demotional.’”

6. Shah Rukh Khan on what Salman Khan’s biopic will be called

It’s always fun watching rapid-fire rounds with Shah Rukh Khan, as his smart, candid yet witty replies always leave us surprised. Karan Johar asked Shah Rukh what would be a title worthy enough for his biopic, to which Shah Rukh said, “Kal hon a ho.”

7. Shah Rukh Khan on being too good too soon

In the episode with Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt, SRK talked about her success in films and said that Alia is ‘too good too soon.’ Sharing a great piece of advice, he said, “I don't want her to get trapped in just doing great acting without experiencing everything in Indian cinema. If you become too good too soon, you may have inhibitions being bad at times. It is wonderful to be bad at times as an actor.”

8. If Shah Rukh Khan woke up as Karan Johar

When asked what he would do if he woke up one morning as Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan jokingly said, “You know, Karan, the chances of me waking up and turning into you are less but waking up with you in the morning are more. At least that’s what everyone says!” 

9. Shah Rukh Khan’s take on box office numbers

Another intelligent yet sincere reply from Shah Rukh Khan was during season 3 when he was asked about the box office numbers of his films. He said, “I don’t deal in numbers. I am a person who deals with feelings. When I do a film, I leave a part of me in it. It's an extension of myself. And if my extension can be measured in some stupid number, whether it falls in crores or lakhs, it does not make me feel very important about my feelings.”

He said that he has never thought of beating somebody else’s box office numbers. “I run my race. If you wanna try, come on to the side lane, go for it. Attempt it. Do what you wish to, but you can't touch this,” he said.

10. Shah Rukh Khan on celebs he would never want to be stranded on an island with

Karan Johar once asked Shah Rukh to name 2 personalities that he would never want to be stranded on an island with. He replied, “Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra. I’m through with you guys. If stranded on an island, you’ll both bore me with love stories, Even if you’re both wearing chiffon sarees!”

Shah Rukh Khan truly is the King of wit and humor!
