In a recent discussion on his podcast, popular actor-anchor Maniesh Paul opened up about an encounter he had with the legendary Shah Rukh Khan, highlighting a stark contrast between the current generation of stars and the iconic actors of yesteryears.

Maniesh recalled an incident during one of his stage shows where he was tasked with delivering punchlines written for none other than Shah Rukh Khan. He shared, " “I was doing a show for the police, and the writer wrote all the punches for Shah Rukh sir. I was standing in his vanity, and he asked me to sit down. Then, he read what was written for him and, he was like, ‘Ye saare punches tune mere liye likhe hain, woh khada hone aaya hai kya (You have written all the punchlines for me, has he come here only to hang around)?"
