Ask SRK: Trending number one on Twitter in India is the hashtag Ask SRK. The trend started when actor Shah Rukh Khan that “ask SRK” was a good idea and told his fans to ask him questions using the hashtag. However, in his signature witty and quirky manner, he said that the session would not be too long, because he has to go do “nothing” for some time, before doing more of “nothing” later.
The response from his fans was prompt, with the hashtag trending on number one quickly and over 51,000 tweets with the hashtag within an hour.
He replied to over 20 tweets, some witty and some serious answers. One of the users asked him for suggestions on how to quit smoking. To that, the actor responded that the user was looking for inspiration at the wrong place, an indication to the fact that the actor himself smokes. However, he wished the user luck for his endeavour to quit smoking.
Eh…you are looking for answers in the wrong place my friend. Best of luck with your endeavour. https://t.co/pl4Kgu4Jmh
