Replying to him, SRK said that the star and the actor in him are both special and he wants them to live together. “@mehtahansal why challenge, the star sir, let him coexist with the actor. They both are a part of me…. I kinda like them equally,” he tweeted.

Even though King Khan took the tweet sportingly, some of his fans ended up reacting to it negatively.

The “Shahid” director then took to Twitter again to clear things up.

“Many fans of @iamsrk have taken umbrage to my tweet. I’m as much a fan as them. But I miss him doing more characters like #ChakDeIndia,” he tweeted.
