He said, “Mai toh yahan hu Shah Rukh Khan saab k vajah se aur mai toh ye boht jagah kehta hu ki jiss insaan me Shah Rukh Khan ka 5 percent bhi nhi hai, usse jeene ka bhi koi haq nhi hai.” (I am here because of Shah Rukh Khan sir, and I always say that a person who doesn’t even have 5 percent of SRK in them doesn’t have the right to live).
