The fanbase of SRK got activated last week after numerous social media users shared a snippet from Pathaan, which is now released on the OTT platform Prime Video. The users are criticizing the actor and the film over an embarrassing action sequence where the character of Pathaan, played by SRK is seen preventing an attack by shooting down a fast-approaching missile by throwing his mobile phone at it.

The sequence attracted contempt and ridicule from different quarters, with several people thinking the film was of the comedy genre instead of an action-thriller.To defend SRK, his fans are talking about his contribution to the film industry.

At the same time, IPL is not so far, loyal fan armies of the cricketers have also become active on Twitter. Virat, who is a prolific Indian batsman, has an army of millions of faithful supporters who consider him a GOAT.

It is not possible to determine who has the greatest legacy between Virat Kohli and Shah Rukh Khan as these both have done great.

Virat Kohli fans have pointed out that the followers of their star player are higher than SRK. While SRK supporters replied by telling Ananya Pandey’s IPL legacy is far better than Virat Kohli’s, they shared a photo of the actor with an IPL trophy won by the SRK-owned IPL team KKR.

One Twitter user said, ‘Virat Kohli’s magnificent 82 unbeaten against Pakistan in the World Cup is far bigger than SRK did in his 57 years on the earth.’ This reference to SRK was just enough to trigger the fan base of SRK, who went on a tweet spree mocking and ridiculing Virat Kohli.

A supporter of SRK has shared an iconic scene in the reply to Kohli’s fan, from Swades where SRK sees a child vending water in an earthen pot for just twenty-five paise. Upon finally taking a sip of water from that earthen pot and tasting water from his homeland, everything changes for him. The actor decides to prolong his stay in that village and he initiates a path towards development. The user responded that this scene is bigger than Virat Kohli’s entire career.
