Her comments sparked a wave of backlash from fans who fiercely defended their beloved superstar.
Mahnoor explained that according to her, Shah Rukh Khan didn’t fit the conventional standards of beauty and what is considered handsome. She noted that while he may not possess those physical qualities, his strong personality and aura made him appear attractive.
