"One piece of advise you have towards politicians", Gandhi asked. Shah Rukh Khan laughed and sarcastically responded, "I'm glad it's a simple question", igniting a spark of laughter among audiences.

Drawing a comparison between his profession and politics, he continued, "My job involves me to lie and deceit for a living, so I’m all show. Nothing really concrete inside me. But I've a huge amount of respect for people who run the country or who have in their hearts to run the country. It's such a selfless service"

The actor further sincerely responded with the Congress leader's question, saying, "I think the only idea should be to work honestly and have pride in your nation. Love the country and we will have a wonderful country. Let's not take money under the table".
