SRK Invites Ram Charan On Stage
Shah Rukh Khan invited Ram to come on stage and groove with them. In jest, Shah Rukh blurted out a few phrases that seemed to be in Telugu or Tamil. Pinkvilla posted a video of the same thing on Instagram. Zeba Hassan, who works as Ram's makeup artist, said in a video clip, "I'm a huge SRK fan, but I really disliked the way he called Ram Charan on stage."
