#ShahRuKhan’s success has always been extreme that no human mind believes it’s achievable. That’s why #SRK is Supreme with unimaginable achievements. This brings more jealousy than appreciation for him.#Pathaan gave shame to crippled Bollywood, #Jawan will end their existence.

If @itsKajolD is having doubts about business of #Pathaan then she must ask her Jeeju Aditya Chopra about it not @iamsrk. Because Adi is the producer of Pathaan not SRK. And producer is responsible to give business of any film not the actor. Even she can ask her sister Rani.
