The actor held an #AskSRK session with his fans on X as the comedy drama completed a week of its release. It has earned over ₹250 crore in gross box office collections since its debut last Thursday.

Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, "Dunki" is a saga of friendships, borders, nostalgia for home and love. The film is Shah Rukh's third release for 2023 after "Pathaan" and "Jawan"

When a fan asked what part of 2023 was best, Shah Rukh replied: "Not parts the whole 2023 was best!!"

The 58-year-old actor also answered which was the hardest and the most demanding film for him among "Pathaan", "Jawan" and "Dunki".

"When u have to deal with varied emotions it's always more of a work for an actor. So Dunki it is (sic)" he said.

There is no bigger gift than entertaining people, Shah Rukh said in another post.

Asked how he deals with opinions about his work, the actor responded by saying, "Ha ha u have heard the saying 'opinions are like *******s, everyone has one!' I work on belief not on opinions my friend. (sic)"

When an admirer reminded him that it is Salman Khan's birthday today, the actor said he had already wished his friend and contemporary, just not on social media.

"I know and I have wished him. I don’t do it on social media because it’s personal na??" he said.

"Dunki", based on an illegal immigration technique 'donkey flight', also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover.
