Shah Rukh, while speaking about his legendary arm pose, pointed out the “dip” was a “real thing” during the 90s. He then  enacted the dip while asking the audience to hum a song for him. The actor revealed that he could not do dip and felt ashamed of his inability and practiced the step a whole night.

Revealing that choreographer Saroj Khan was the mind behind the signature pose, Shah Rukh said, “She said, but as you cannot do dips, you just stand there and put your arms out” and the Jawan actor did just that.

The actor also shared his views on regonalising Indian cinema referring it as a “wrong” approach. King Khan added, “It’s just that our country is so vast that we don’t have different dialects across the nation, we have different languages across the nation.”
