Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan took over the internet as he performed several songs with his friends and acquaintances during Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding celebrations. From sharing the stage with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan to dancing with his wife Gauri Khan and daughter Suhana Khan, fans were left in awe of his charming persona. However, a section of the internet was left uncomfortable when a video of him addressing Ram Charan as ‘Idly Vada’ went viral on the internet.
As reported by The Quint, the incident happened on day 2 of the three-day pre-wedding festivities, where the three Khans came together and shook their leg on RRR’s famous song Naatu Naatu. Soon Ram joined them to show his dancing skills. While summoning the South Star on the stage, however, SRK spoke some gibberish and mentioned a few famous South Indian dishes. Taking to the Instagram stories, the 38-year-old’s make-up artist Zeba Hassan expressed her disgust over it. ALSO READ: OMG!

On the work front, after his movie Zero (2018) failed to do good business at the box office, the actor took a break. He went on to do cameo roles in movies like Lal Singh Chaddha, Brahmastra, and The Nambi Effect. He returned to the big screens with a bang in 2023 with blockbuster movies like Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. The actor is yet to announce his next project. If reports are to be believed, he will be making a return in YRF’s spy universe with Tiger VS Pathaan and Pathaan 2.
