Here’s how Shah Rukh Khan roasted critics – watch video

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most level headed individuals you will find in the industry currently. The 53-year-old actor has seen many ups and downs in his career and knows how to maintain a balance. The Badshah Khan is known for his quick wit and is an extremely articulate person. Now, Shah Rukh Khan was present at the Critics Choice Film Awards 2019, which took place on Sunday (April 21). The ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ actor decided to roast his critics in style.

At the awards night, SRK began his speech while teasing the audience by saying that they would have expected him to groove to his hit song ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ but he chooses to speak about films and filmmaking. A video on social media has him saying, “The scene opens at an opulent award function with the main protagonist. Anupama Chopra sitting in the first row, looking resplendent in her many varied shades of white. Now this version of Masand is a far cry from the younger, moustached one, whose complicated vocabulary we were so convinced by back in the day when I played an anti-hero. He is older, and a tad heavier.”

Shah Rukh Khan beautifully summed up his speech by saying, “So I request all my critics friends here, please don’t be like us Bollywood film stars, and get carried away by what Bollywood succumbed to many years ago – the star system. The star system cannot be the only way of summing up films by our critics. 3 stars, 3.5 stars, 3 and a quarter stars, 5 stars… It’s a film, not a hotel for God sake. With critics sprouting all over, film critic is becoming an endangered species. Please let it not get replaced by consumer service.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Aanand L Rai’s ‘Zero’. Stay tuned to Bollywood Bubble for all the latest news and updates.
