To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Shah Rukh Khan's humor. The wit is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Bollywood dynamics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also SRK's cheeky outlook, which is deftly woven into his public persona—his comedic philosophy draws heavily from the rich tapestry of Indian cinema, for instance. SRK fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these quips, to realize that they're not just funny—they say something deep about LIFE.
As a consequence, people who dislike SRK's humor truly ARE missing out—of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the nuance in SRK's bold flirtation when he told Madhuri Dixit at an award function, 'Tumhe dekhke mera sab kuchh solid ho jaata hai!' which itself is a cryptic reference to the layered complexity of Indeevar's ribald gem Khada hai Khada hai. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those befuddled simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Shah Rukh Khan's genius wit unfolds itself on their screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, I DO have an SRK tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the connoisseurs' eyes only—And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
