Many people are criticizing Shah Rukh Khan for allegedly disrespecting Ram Charan during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s Jamnagar pre-wedding ceremony. That incident occurred as the three Khans—SRK, Salman, and Aamir performed on the song Naatu Naatu, which originally starred Ram Charan and NT Rama Rao Jr.
The Bollywood star searched for Ram Charan to come on stage with them throughout the performance. He continued asking, “Ram Charan, where are you?” It seemed that he wanted the RRR actor to perform with the three Khans.
Around this time, SRK began talking incoherently in Telugu, using the word ‘idli’ among other things. Not everyone found it impressive, and some even called SRK a racist.
Referring to Atlee, the director of Jawan, one user on X remarked, “Shahrukh Khan is being racist to South Indians by calling Ram Charan idli. Despite a South Indian director gave him the biggest hit of his career.”
“When ego of an actor like Shahrukh shoots up above his head, this is expected. His average acting was just hyped by some of his fans. I am not a big fan of him,” said another.
When Zeba Hassan Zaidi, Ram Charan’s makeup artist, entered the discussion, things became more heated. After the incident, according to a screenshot of her Instagram Story making the rounds on social media, she left the celebrations.
However, the admirers of Shah Rukh defended him saying that it was not disrespectful but a sweet and comic gesture.
Moreover, Ram Charan, on the other hand, was quick to join the Khans on stage. He also performed to the ‘Natu Natu’ song along with them.
