Pakistan’s present prime minister, Imran Khan, once raged at India’s biggest superstar and one of the world’s most prominent performers.
However, as a legend in his own league, SRK admitted to being a fan of someone who founded his own league. The celebrity, who has a vast global fan base, has previously claimed to be an admirer of the former cricketer.
SRK confessed in one of his 2016 interviews, the first with Miss Malini, that he had always wanted to meet Imran Khan, the current Prime Minister of Pakistan.
During a marketing interview with Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir for his 2016 film FAN, he was asked who his favorite Pakistani star is, to which the actor said that he has always been a fan of Imran Khan and even told the story of his first encounter with him. SRK recounted the event in which the now-politician refused to sign his autograph.
“I used to admire sportsman Imran Khan saab when we were kids.”
“When he arrived in Delhi, I had the opportunity to meet him and he scolded me.” “That was my first contact with somebody as a fan,” he said. “Did he scold you as well?” Mir inquired, to which SRK replied, “Quite a bit,” says the narrator. “But three years ago, I protested to him about it,” the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor admitted.
“After a few runs, he got an out, and the squad was struggling.” I was just standing there waiting for an opportunity to grab his autograph, knowing that I would only get it if he got an out, which he did. But he was furious at the time, so he simply reprimanded me and told me to get out of his way. I later told him how horrible that made me feel, but sure, big fan,” he said.
