At this rate, we will have very few Bollywood stars left to idolize. Yesterday, Shah Rukh Khan attended the launch of debutante author Gunjan Jain's book, She Walks, She Leads. The book honours women leaders, so it was only natural for SRK to make women the subject of his speech. Unfortunately, that extended to his jokes as well.
At this point, it's no surprise that the king of Bollywood is also considered the king of wit. But it's also been established that his jokes are often in bad taste. According to Indian Express, at the event, when the actor started talking about Gunjan, she immediately stood up, to which, our very funny SRK said, "Please sit! This may be politically incorrect, but actually when I speak to a woman, I'd like her to be lying down." He went on to say that this comment might get him into trouble.

Here's the thing, man. You ARE in trouble, because that was an awful, terrible, stupid, sexist thing to say. And it doesn't help that, like your buddy Salman Khan, you followed it up by saying that it'll get you into trouble.
Now, before SRK fanatics start pointing it out, he also read out a poem he wrote on women's empowerment at the same event. It was powerful, evocative, and extremely relevant.
