Why Shashi Tharoor finds Shah Rukh Khan turning 60 ‘deeply suspicious’
SHASHI Tharoor on Sunday, hilariously declared he thinks Shah Rukh Khan is part of a cover-up. Taking to X, the Congress leader posted a heartfelt note for SRK, wishing him on his 60th birthday, joking that he is ‘deeply suspicious’ about the superstar's age.
"I have to admit, I'm finding this "60" number deeply suspicious," wrote Shashi Tharoor, stating that a “crack team of independent fact-checkers and forensic detectives” had confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan turning 60, “cannot be factually confirmed.”
The evidence? "Higher energy levels," “ no wrinkles," “persistent appearance of someone significantly younger,” said Tharoor.
What did Tharoor predict about SRK?
It wasn't just the quirky wish. The Thiruvananthapuram MP further made a prediction about King Khan. He said by the time SRK turns 70, the superstar would be auditioning for teenage roles.
“I predict by the time he hits his "70th" birthday, he'll be auditioning for teenage roles. Mercifully, I don’t expect to be around when he turns into a child star," Tharoor wrote.
“Congratulations on this unbelievable milestone, Shah Rukh! Please keep defying physics and biology, & confusing us all for many years to come.”
