Shah Rukh Khan said that he was glad that the same t-shirt still fits him 28 years later.

Shah Rukh Khan is looking forward to the release of his next film Dunki. Weeks before the release of the film, SRK took to X (formerly Twitter) to host an #AskSRK session for his fans. The trailer of Dunki featured a shot of Shah Rukh running in a t-shirt that looked quite familiar and fans were quick to point out that it looked exactly like the one that he wore in his 1995 film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

When a fan of the star shared an edited video of the same on social media and asked how he felt about it, Shah Rukh shared in the 28 years between the two movies, he has gone through 11 surgeries and was happy that he could still fit in the same t-shirt. Sharing the video, his fan asked, “@iamsrk somewhere in between we all grew up… 🥹♥️ How does it feel when you see edits like this one? #AskSRK.” And Shah Rukh replied, “Life is a run I am so glad that even after 11 surgeries I can still srun the same and my same t shirt fits me just fine!! #Dunkitrailer.”

DDLJ, directed by Aditya Chopra, was the film that made Shah Rukh Khan a superstar, a status that he continues to enjoy in Hindi cinema.

When another fan shared a still from Dunki and wondered what Vikram Rathore, his character in Jawan, was doing in Dunki, SRK had a cheeky reply. “Kyunki iss picture mein bhi mein army ka Jawan hoon. Samajh gaya bhai ya aur clear karoon. (Because here too, I’m an army veteran. Did you get it or should I clarify it more?) #DunkiTrailer also refer to stupid question section please ha ha love u,” he wrote.

Another fan wondered if there would be a romantic song in Dunki and Shah Rukh Khan confirmed that there is indeed a romantic track in the film. “Of course aayega. Main hoon aur Romance na ho. Yeh toh wohi baat ho gayi ki Dil hai aur dhadkan na ho!!! #DunkiTrailer (Of course! If I’m there, romance has to be there. It’s like saying there is heart without a heartbeat),” he wrote. The first song of the film, “Lutt Putt Gaya” was centered around SRK’s character falling in love with Taapsee Pannu’s character.

Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, releases in theatres on December 21.
