In his typical playful fashion, Shah Rukh Khan didn’t miss the opportunity to roast his good friend Karan. With a sly grin, SRK responded, “Karan, because Deepika is such a wonderful athlete, and it’s in her genes. First, you come and get trained by us. After that, you can train your kids. Pehle tu sikh le, 100-meter race mein kaise bhagte hain (First, you learn how to run a 100-meter race).”
The witty jab from SRK was met with laughter from the crowd, and Karan Johar, always a good sport, smiled and responded, “I don’t know when this turned into a roast, but anyway.
