Shah Rukh Khan launches into a tirade
The situation escalated when Shah Rukh started questioning the technical team that the song ‘Chaiyya Chaiyya’ was played at the wrong time during his event. Holding a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette, the actor expressed his frustration dramatically.“We wonder about the d*mn thing and then the AV goes wrong. I got hurt, I don’t know when it starts, I run. What’s that crap yaar.” As the crew tried to explain that it was just a technical issue, Shah Rukh refused to accept the justification and continued to feign anger. “Technical stuff… It’s the tenth show, not the first show. How are we going to keep screwing up every show. Every show! We only have seven left yaar.“
Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Rampal have joined the event
The prank became even more believable when Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Rampal decided to act together. Arjun said that his AV signal malfunctioned, and Saif strongly urged the crew to take the matter seriously. “Tell him, explain me. Don’t hang your head like a schoolboy. This is not a schoolboy.’Shah Rukh also pointed to a crew member who appeared to be smiling in return and remarked, “But listen, when you screw up, can’t you at least laugh. That guy is Fcking it up. I mean, we’re trying to put on a show.”After keeping everyone on edge for over four minutes, Shah Rukh finally left the act. The superstar broke into a smile and revealed that the entire confrontation was staged as a practical joke. He then encouraged Priyanka Chopra, Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta to hug their crew member, Mazar, who unknowingly became the center of the joke.What started as a seemingly heated disaster in the background turned out to be one of the most memorable practical jokes of the ‘Temptation 2004’ tour, perfectly showcasing Shah Rukh Khan’s legendary sense of humor and ability to outwit his co-stars.
