For the act, Shah Rukh Khan wore a pink dress over his suit and also agreed to wear a wig. Bharti then asked him to keep his hands on his waist, hop on his feet and laugh. Shah Rukh agreed and repeated all these after her. As the audience cheered and laughed, Bharti thanked Shah Rukh.

The actor then said looking at his outfit, “Pehle hi log jo hai samajhte nahi hai ki main macho hero hoon. Yeh dekhne k baad thodi bohut jo rahi hogi woh bhi khatam hojayegi (People don’t think I am a macho hero. After watching this, the litle that was left, it also ended).” Bharti looked at him, hugged Shah Rukh, and cried. He told her, “Thank you” and kissed her hands.

Bharti then told him that Lalli was one of the first characters to which she performed and Shah Rukh said he remembered that. She added, “Shayad woh tab itna hit nahi hua tha jitna sir aapne kardiya aaj (It was probably not such a hit then than how you made it now). Thank you so much.” When Bharti cried and hugged him again, he said, “Don’t do this.”

The clip was shared on Instagram by a fan account, sh_editts. Reacting to the clip, a person wrote, “King for a reason. The man who makes everyone special.” Another fan said, “He’s not an actor only but also the purest soul ever.” “He is a legend. He is a very great and humble man. Only actor can do this,” read a comment.
