In a lively social media interaction that has since gone viral, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan sparked a hilarious fan debate that eventually drew a humorous response from the famous rapper Badshah. The exchange began during a Q&A session where the actor was engaging with fans about his son Aryan Khan’s new web series, The Ba*ds of Bollywood.
A “Ghante ka Badshah” Reference
The viral moment occurred when a fan asked Shah Rukh Khan which character from his son’s acclaimed new series he found the most relatable. Known for his sharp wit, SRK bypassed a simple answer and instead replied with a clever self-reference: “Ghante ka Badshah.”
This response was a direct nod to a specific, memorable moment that has become a viral highlight from The Ba*ds of Bollywood itself, showing the superstar’s close engagement with his son’s directorial debut.
Fans Debate the “Two Badshahs”
The witty, insider reply immediately took on a life of its own online. Fans began to playfully debate which “Badshah” the actor was referring to. For decades, Shah Rukh Khan has famously held the undisputed title of the “Badshah of Bollywood.”
However, the moniker is, of course, shared with the celebrated rapper Badshah. This ambiguity led to a flurry of amusing fan theories and discussions over whether SRK was cheekily referring to himself or making a playful jab at his namesake in the music industry.
Rapper Badshah’s Humorous Reply
The widespread debate eventually caught the attention of the rapper Badshah himself, who decided to join in on the fun. In a humorous and widely appreciated reply, the musician posted a respectful and witty comeback, acknowledging the senior actor’s comment.
His good-natured response further amused the internet, highlighting the playful and respectful dynamic between the two “Badshahs” and turning the Q&A into a major talking point.
A Superstar’s Winning Streak
This lighthearted viral exchange comes as Shah Rukh Khan continues to ride a massive wave of professional success. The actor was recently honored with a prestigious award celebrating his contributions to cinema and is reportedly already in pre-production for his next highly anticipated film project, King.
The interaction was seen by fans as a classic example of the superstar’s quick wit and his supportive role as a father, all while cementing his status as one of the most engaging public figures in the industry.
