The Bollywood film ‘Pathaan’, starring Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, broke all records and created a frenzy among audiences across the country. Fans of all ages, including celebrities like Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, were seen grooving to the film’s title track, ‘Jhoom lo Pathaan’.
Recently, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan posted a video of his son dancing to the same song on Twitter, requesting Shahrukh to add another adorable fan to his list.
SRK, known as the ‘Baadshah of Bollywood’, responded quickly to Irfan’s tweet. He jokingly wrote, “Yeh tumse zyaada talented nikla… chota Pathaan”, praising Irfan’s son for his impressive dance moves. This response from Shahrukh delighted his fans and garnered much attention on social media.
