Shah Rukh Khan reveals why Alia Bhatt calls him 'SR'; actress enters #AskSRK chat to give superstar new 'creative' name

Shah Rukh Khan on Wednesday surprised his fans with a quick #AskSRK session on Twitter where he got witty with his replies to some fan questions that came his way.

One of the many questions that came his way was from a fan who asked, "Why Alia calls you just SR..?"

Giving a cute reply to the fan, he said, "Could mean sweet& romantic or maybe senior & respected or maybe just Shah Rukh."

That's when his former 'Dear Zindagi' co-star entered the conversation. "More like sweet and respected :)" she wrote while assuring that the R did not stand for 'Romantic'.

She went on to add, "But from 25th Jan I’m going to switch to calling you Pathaan," and quipped, "See I’m so creative na."

Besides sharing screen space with Alia, SRK also co-produced her OTT release 'Darlings' which also starred Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma.

'Pathaan', which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, will hit the big screen on January 25. Before fans head to the theatres, they will be treated to one more trailer that will drop online on January 10.
