Shah Rukh Khan Quips: “Nobody Allows Me to Throw Tantrums on Sets”

Mumbai, August 17, 2025 — What happens when Bollywood’s most beloved superstar is asked if he throws tantrums on set? Shah Rukh Khan asked... and offered an answer with charm.

During a surprise “Ask SRK” session on social media, Shah Rukh was asked by a fan whether he ever throws tantrums on filming locations. True to his down-to-earth nature, he replied with a smile: “Nobody allows me to throw tantrums on sets.” He followed up with a playful jab at the film he’s currently shooting, King, directed by Siddharth Anand: “Now on King even less—the director is so strict and organised.”

From Pathaan to King—SRK's Pro Clarity

Fans quickly connected the dots. Siddharth Anand, who previously directed the Victor Banerjee–led blockbuster Pathaan, is known for his discipline on set. That strictness, SRK joked, doesn’t leave room for temper tantrums—reinforcing the myth that the superstar remains collaborative and controlled off-screen too.

More Than Just a Laugh—Updates from the Q&A

The session wasn’t just about on-set behavior—SRK also updated fans on King’s progress. “Did some good shoot… starting soon again. Only leg shots, then moving to the upper body… Insha Allah, it will be done fast. @justSidAnand is working hard to finish.”

He also hinted at a playful nudge toward Netflix regarding his son’s debut directorial project. In response to another fan asking when audiences will see Aryan Khan’s series, Shah Rukh quipped: “Beta show bana raha hai, Baap sirf wait kar raha hai... @NetflixIndia, Tum kya kar rahe ho??!!” Netflix promptly responded with the announcement that the first look of The Ba**ds of Bollywood* would go live on August 17, adding to the moment’s excitement.

Why Fans Adored the Exchange

What made the moment special wasn’t just the humor—it was SRK’s groundedness. In an industry often rife with egos, his gentle nudge at himself and praise for a director’s professionalism reinforced his reputation as a collaborative force. The message was clear: even a superstar values structure and teamwork.

SRK’s Hollywood Comeback and Future Projects

Amid the laughs, a proud moment lingered: Shah Rukh’s recent win of his first-ever National Film Award for Best Actor for Jawan—a triumph cherished by fans.

Meanwhile, King continues filming, with expectations high for what promises to be another blockbuster. His candid engagement during the Q&A added warmth to the anticipation.

In Summary

In just a few lines, SRK managed to be funny, humble, and informative. He dismissed tantrum rumors, praised the professionalism of King, celebrated his son’s project, and reminded everyone of a triumphant career milestone—all with effortless wit.
