Hyderabad: Actor Kajol became dominated Twitter trends on Sunday, following a remark she made about the box office collections of Shah Rukh Khan's film Pathaan. A video clip from a promotional interview for Kajol's web series The Trial started circulating on social media, leading to various interpretations of her statement. The comment was seen by some as a sly dig at SRK while fans of the iconic Bollywood pair dismissed trolls on microblogging site.
During a promotional interview for The Trial, when asked about one thing she would like to ask Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol initially replied, "Shah Rukh Khan? What will I ask him?" After a thoughtful pause, she added, "How much did Pathaan really make?" The clip concluded with Kajol laughing. While some fans interpreted this as harmless banter between the Dilwale stars who are also friends for the longest time, others saw it as a veiled insult towards King Khan.
