Sara Ali Khan’s fans come to her rescue after facing backlash over calling SRK ‘uncle’

Bollywood newbie Sara Ali Khan has been receiving flak from Shah Rukh Khan’s fan for addressing him as ‘uncle’ at an event. There’s a huge age gap between two actors that has caused social media trolls on a rampant.

While giving an interview at the recently held Filmfare red carpet, she said, “I remember when my father [Saif Ali Khan] used to host the Filmare with Shah Rukh uncle. I used to love it”.

Some of the ardent SRK fans were instantly enraged by her statement and said that she cannot call such a handsome man 'uncle'. While there were some fans who supported her and found no such problem in her statement as there is a big age difference between them.

Srk is aged and accept that na.....he is uncle for Sara Ali Khan! What's wrong with it fans?

Even i'm furious at Sara Ali Khan and totally support people who trolled her. How could she call SRK uncle when he looks like a grandfather to her?

Shah Rukh's older than her father. What's she supposed to call him, Sheila ki Jawani? https://t.co/wYNgmVXzuP

LMFAO! What is SRK to Sara Ali Khan if not uncle? He is older than her dad Saif. She must have known him since she was a toddler. Nothing wrong if she called her elder an uncle. https://t.co/Dt3ibyYAXh

On the other hand, Sara has also won an award for ‘Best Debutant’ at the Filmfare Awards 2019 for her performance in ‘Kedarnath’.
