The J.K Rowling joke would never stop being funny 😆 I can't believe he had the audacity of stealing someone's speech and not just anyone but someone more famous than him. Well I guess he ain't so smart after all

I checked my SGP posts and we interacted here lool (it's one of the posts near the end of the page):

I'm so used to journalists admitting that Shah is always a step ahead of them. So many of his interviews are started with the journalists explaining how SRK is too smart to ever be caught in any kind of worded trap.

A recent one by Vir Sanghvi that I read and loved:

A psychiatrist asked to analyse Shahrukh Khan would probably tear up the couch, burn his medical certificates and look for another profession.

The problem - to put it bluntly - is that Shahrukh is too goddamn smart for anybody to get a fix on what he's thinking. Of all the stars I've interviewed over the last 25 years, he is possibly the brightest and certainly the most complex.

If you use the traditional definition of intelligence as the ability to hold two completely contradictory thoughts in your head at the same time and still function normally, then he is in the genius league.

When you talk to him, there's a sense in which he's operating at several - why stop at two? - levels simultaneously. There's the Obvious Shahrukh. That's the polite and charming fellow who talks nicely to you.

The Obvious Shahrukh is the man we all see. He strikes us as bright, articulate, intelligent and persuasive. In some ways, he is like Tony Blair of whom it has famously been said that he's never met anybody he couldn't charm at a one-to-one level.

The problem with the Obvious Shahrukh is that it takes him exactly five minutes to suss you out. He knows where you are coming from, he knows what you like hearing and sure enough, he gives it to you.

Nothing wrong with that. Except that no matter how nice the Obvious Shahrukh is, you sense that you've only just scratched the surface.

But who knows, how many other Shahrukhs lurk beneath that surface? His mind, as he himself says, is always racing. He rushes from thought to thought, from concept to concept, and no matter how hard you try and keep up, he's always four steps ahead of you.

There's a Clever Shahrukh somewhere in there; the fellow who knows how the game is played and will play it better than anybody else. There's also, I think, A Genuinely Nice Shahrukh, the man who will promote his friends, will go out of his way to help strangers, and will give lakhs and lakhs to charity, only on the condition that it is never publicised. There's a Financially Savvy Shahrukh, who will make crores doing endorsements, live shows and even dancing at weddings, knowing that he now has the freedom to turn down any film role that doesn't excite him on the grounds that he could make the same amount of money (or more) from a single ad.

And then, of course, hidden deep within all the other Shahrukhs, is the guy he never really lets you see. The Vulnerable Shahrukh. Or, the Essentially Insecure Shahrukh. The boy who lost his parents before he made it in the movies, who has used Gauri, Juhi Chawla, Farah, Karan, Aditya, Aziz Mirza and a few others to create an alternative family environment where he is loved and secure. Who is so terrified by failure that his solution has been to act as though the possibility does not exist; to convince himself that he's the best at anything he wants to do and that there will never ever be bad days in his life.

You glimpse this Shahrukh, every now and then, when he talks. But he's just a flash in the crowd. Just one more Shahrukh hidden deep within the cluster of other Shahrukhs.

And yet, you always feel that if there wasn't this Shahrukh, then none of the others would have to exist.

The joke is when you either read only half the information or rather CHOOSE to talk only about one aspect of it. Here's a tip: If you read news, learn to follow it to the end.

Did you know that the mere three lines that SRK 'allegedly stole' from JK Rowling's speech were in fact BORROWED by Rowling herself from a popular motivational book? That the only mistake he made was not crediting her. (although he did credit her in another motivational speech for the same 'three lines') I guess you'd assume that Rowling is not much as well now.😆
