Shah Rukh Khan reacts after a troll asks him how he became a star without talent or looks, says, "Bhai shakal toh theek hai, akal ka nahi bola tumne"

Shah Rukh Khan once again proved why he’s the undisputed king of wit on social media. During his latest #AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter), the superstar handled a troll’s question with his signature humour and composure, a masterclass in grace under fire.

It all began when a user wrote to him, “Bhai ye bata tum mein koi talent nahi, na teri shakal badhiya hai, fir tu star kaise ban gaya. Tujhse badhiya to meri shakal mujhe koi pehchanta tak nahi.” The tweet roughly translates to: “Brother, tell me, you have no talent, and your looks aren’t that great either. Then how did you become a star? I look better than you but nobody even recognizes me.”

Instead of ignoring the jab or responding harshly, Shah Rukh replied with characteristic cool: “Bhai shakal toh theek hai... akal ka nahi bola tumne!!! Woh hai ya...???” — which means, “Brother, looks are fine... but you didn’t mention brains! Do you have that or not?”

Within minutes, the witty retort went viral, earning thousands of likes and retweets. Fans flooded the comments section, calling SRK’s response “a mic-drop moment” and hailing his unmatched charm and intelligence.

Some even quoted his old interviews, saying he has always believed that success in showbiz comes more from perseverance and wit than from mere appearance.

This isn’t the first time Shah Rukh Khan has handled trolling with class. Over the years, his #AskSRK sessions have become legendary for turning criticism into comedy. Whether fans ask about his films, family, or rivals, his answers always balance humour, humility, and a touch of poetic intelligence.

As the actor prepares to celebrate his 60th birthday on November 2, fans are once again reminded of what sets him apart. Stardom, after all, isn’t just about talent or looks — it’s about presence, wit, and the ability to turn even a troll into entertainment. And few do that better than Shah Rukh Khan himself.
