During a #AskSRK session, a fan inquired about the expectation of Punjabi dialogues from the actor in “Dunki.” In response, Shah Rukh Khan humbly admitted, “Not too many. I don’t speak it too well, so have left that part to @taapsee and #Vicky, they are brilliant. #DunkiTrailer.” This response shed light on his acknowledgment of his language proficiency limitations.
