Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his highly anticipated upcoming action film Pathaan, which will be his first major film in four years and is slated for release on January 25. To get his fans excited, he held an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on Twitter.
Taking to twitter, he said, "A big hug to all for making #Pathaan so loved. Those who danced, put up cut outs, bought out halls, all fan clubs, made t shirts, prayed, helped to ease issues & made it a festival. It’s good to be in theatres, feels like home. A quick #AskSRK for fun."

While many fans rushed to drop their questions for the actor, one person attempted to troll him by bringing up his female avatar from an old award show.
Replying to a post shared by Yash Raj Films on the micro-blogging site, a user called Shah Rukh, "Femme fatale" with laughing emojis alongside a photo of the actor, dressed as a woman.
Responding to the user, Shah Rukh wrote back, "Arre no no this is me dressed as a lady. I know I am attractive in all avatars, but u will have to find yourself a better muse my friend!! Apologies for misleading you."
