Mahindra’s tweet has got over 21,000 likes. An X user commented on it, “Many actors will come, and many will succeed but perhaps, SRK is the last of the stars. He has taken stardom to the next level. I have not watched many of his movies but the way he conducts himself is appreciable.”

Another user wrote, “Well said @anandmahindra sir. I have been to 15 countries, met so many people from different cultures, countries and languages, whenever I used to tell them I’m from India first thing that used to come out of their mouth was SHAHRUKH KHAN. I LOVE INDIA. KING KHAN IS VERY GOOD.”
