Can never learn acting, says Shah Rukh Khan
Khan’s latest release Dilwale, even after earning a lot of money in the opening weekend, has not earned much praises from fans and critics. However, the actor seems to be as unperturbed as he could be.
Yesterday, Shah Rukh Khan held a Twitter QnA session, called AskSRK, that trended for a good few hours, given the number of followers he has on social media platform. It was during this session of AskSRK that some followers decided to test Khan’s patience.
One follower asked Khan when he would learn acting, hinting at his performances in the last few releases viz. Happy New Year and Chennai Express, as well as Dilwale.

To this, Khan replied
U never learn acting till you die...it's not multiples and formulae https://t.co/a2lDrYn2NW

Smart, we must admit.
Another follower, a self-claimed fan of SRK, tried to give him his two cents.

To this, Khan said, “thanks but no thanks” in his own manner.

The recent honorary doctorate that he received from Edinburgh University and the mind-blowing speech that followed was taken into account as well.

And as usual, Khan used his power of words to answer this question.
My lectures are to motivate my films are for entertainment. The mix of two happens seldom https://t.co/DKhVLrUdht

For the record, Dilwale earned more than Rs 40 crores in the opening weekend, while Bajirao Mastani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus that released on the same day, has crossed Rs 28 crores as its opening weekend earning. That being said, critics and fans are all praises for the latter, and actors Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra are collecting accolades for their earnest performances in the historical fiction.
