On Saturday, Shah Rukh Khan disclosed that he had an infection during a Twitter Ask Me Anything (AMA) session. Also disclosed was the actor’s diet.

Shah Rukh responded, “Little ill with infection therefore lately only daal chawal,” when a fan inquired about his eating habits.

Responding to the actor’s post, a fan wrote in the comment section, “@iamsrk so many things going on…events, shoot schedules, and so much. Please take care of yourself and your meals and make sure you take proper rest. get well soon you’re the strongest Pathaan.” “Hmm seems like something is going around in India. I hear this a lot now..take care. Get well soon,” added another fan. Someone also said, “Infection please take proper care may Allah protect you always”

Talking about his upcoming film Pathaan at the AMA session, Shah Rukh, responding to a now-deleted tweet, wrote, “#Pathaan is also very patriotic..but in an action way.”

With his trademark wit, he replied in another tweet that his AMA sessions are of 15 minutes because ‘everyone needs fifteen minutes of fame…’ While speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the 28th Kolkata International Film Festival on Thursday, the actor said that recent narratives have often been shaped by social media, which is driven by a ‘narrowness of views’ that limits human nature to its baser self.

Pathaan, co-starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, is a spy thriller releasing on January 25, 2023.

The film has waded into a controversy over the orange bikini worn by Deepika in Besharam Rang, which right-wing groups have found ‘objectionable’. A boycott campaign is currently raging against the film following comments by BJP leaders.
