Mumbai, Feb 3: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Friday expressed gratitude to celebrated author Paulo Coelho for calling him a "legend".

Commenting on Shah Rukh's January 30 post on Twitter, where the actor is seen greeting to his fans outside his house Mannat in Mumbai, the novelist had praised the superstar as a "great actor".

In response to his tweet, SRK thanked the author for being "too kind" and asked him to meet up soon.

"You are always too kind my friend. Let us meet up sooner than soon!! Bless you," Shah Rukh wrote.

In his post on Thursday, Coelho had recommended his followers to watch Shah Rukh's 2010 drama film "My Name is Khan".

"King. Legend. Friend. But above all GREAT ACTOR (for those who don't know him in the West, I strongly suggest "My name is Khan- and I am not a terrorist")," the author wrote.

"My Name is Khan" featured Shah Rukh in the role of an autistic man who embarks on a journey to meet the US president after facing a hate crime.

Coelho and Shah Rukh have often interacted on social media.

Shah Rukh's "Pathaan", directed by Siddharth Anand, has earned Rs 696 crore gross worldwide in nine days.

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav recently found himself in a controversy following a video he shared on Diwali. In the video, Yadav urged people not to burst firecrackers, citing concerns over noise and air pollution, as well as the distress caused to animals. However, this message sparked backlash on social media, where users criticised him, citing his past endorsement of non-vegetarian brands. Following the criticism, Yadav deleted the video and issued a public apology in a new post, expressing regret for any offence caused.

In his apology, Yadav wished everyone a happy Diwali and said, "Two days ago, I shared a video on my social media, which I have now deleted. I sincerely apologise if it hurt anyone's feelings. Celebrate Diwali joyfully, stay healthy, and be happy."

After Yadav’s apology, several people expressed disappointment, questioning whether environmental awareness is being unfairly targeted. Some users remarked on the trend of trolling those promoting environmental responsibility, while others criticised Yadav's decision to apologise, calling it an unwarranted concession to trolls. Noted journalist Dr. Mukesh Kumar commented on the situation, stating that Yadav should have stood by his message. Kumar argued that voices promoting positive change should not be silenced by what he termed as the influence of "uneducated masses manipulated by political agendas."

Amid the controversy, Rajpal Yadav returns to the big screen as Chhote Pandit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan. In an interview, Yadav mentioned that he would be portraying the character in a fresh style, adding a new dimension to the familiar role.
