Whatever the case may be, i strongly believe SRK must have taken it very positively and certainly this could help him get the feel that not everyone likes him, there are certainly a large section of people who do not enjoy all his humourous and witty one-liners.
btw, i am a huge fan of this person. I admire him for what he is. I always believed that he is someone with exceptional qualities, someone like Mohammed Ali, who never hesitated to call himself the best, and never did the world ever hesitate to agree with that claim for him, same applies for SRK.
