As the country celebrates Shah Rukh Khan’s 27 years in the film industry, the megastar received a word of caution from an unexpected quarter.
On June 25, 2019, SRK completed a highly successful 27-year-old journey in Bollywood. While fans wished the star and celebrated his filmography in a variety of ways with heartfelt messages on the Internet, the star responded with a short video clip thanking them all for the love he had received.
In a slow-motion video, where Shah Rukh is seen riding a bike, the veteran stopped to thank his fans for “bearing with him for long”, while also recreating his debut film moment from Deewana with the song “Koi na Koi chahiye…”
In response to the bike video, legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar wrote a message to the star that read, “Dear Baazigar, don’t ‘Chuck’ De helmet. Wear one when on a bike Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Congratulations on completing 27 years! See you soon, my friend.”
SRK, who is known for his sharp wit and healthy humour, thanked Tendulkar, also mentioning that he will tell his grandchildren that he received his “driving lessons from the great Sachin himself.”
He wrote on Twitter, “My friend Helmet pehenkar, On Drive..Off drive & Straight drive, karna aap se zyaada behtar kaun sikha sakta hai! Will tell my grand children, I got my ‘driving’ lessons from the great Sachin himself. See u soon over some fish curry. Thank u.
Sachin, in fact, suggested Shah Rukh plan a dinner together to celebrate Suhana Khan’s graduation from the school and hopefully India’s win at the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019.

Most definitely Shahrukh, let’s plan a dinner after the World Cup. We can celebrate Suhana’s graduation and hopefully India’s win. 😀
