Shah Rukh Khan replied to questions about his rugged look in the Pathaan teaser as well as about his contemporaries Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar during a short question-and-answer session on microblogging platform Twitter on Saturday.

The Bollywood star set things off with the tweet “We all wake up with questions….today I woke up with answers! So thought maybe we could do a #AskSRK for 15 minutes…if you have time to spare please ask.”

Curious about his smouldering looks in Pathaan, most of the fans inevitably wanted to know the secret behind Shah Rukh’s ‘hotness’. The actor cheekily responded, “Peri peri sauce with chicken helps.”

Asked about his experience shooting Pathaan, Shah Rukh said working on the film brought him “great happiness”.

Shah Rukh, who recently turned 57, also shared how it felt to have fans celebrate his birthday outside his home in Mumbai.

“It’s been years because of Covid restrictions, so it was really nice to see people come to visit,” he wrote.

Replying to a fan’s tweet with pictures of Burj Khalifa lit up on his birthday every year from 2018 to 2022, he wrote, “Burj Khalifa team is always very loving and makes me feel at home whenever I am there and on my birthday!!”

Responding to the idea of a reality show like The Kardashians with the Khan family, he suggested that the show could be named “Khandaan”. And we are all for it!

The actor gave his take on his contemporaries Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.

“Awesome and very kind ( sorry two words) but bhai hai na,” he wrote about Salman.

According to Shah Rukh, his Pathaan co-star Deepika had a “calming effect” on the film. John Abraham, who also features in the upcoming film, was one of the most well mannered persons he had met, Shah Rukh added.
