SRK disapproves of lyrics with new lingos

MUMBAI: Superstars and sleaze don’t go hand in hand and won’t be in tune either.

Case in point is none other than superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

Khan was taken aback by some words in the lyrics of his new film like — JFI which means ‘just forget it’, PAW, decoded as ‘parents are watching’. And the final clinching one that got SRK all worked up, ‘Understand the condition of the situation’ shortened to ‘undie the condi’, a phrase that the actor expressly objected to, since the word ‘undie’ sounded deceptively similar to a certain ‘indecent’ term used in the South

Indian language.

These words and more, were a prickly problem for Shah Rukh, when he encountered the lingo in the lyrics of Always Kabhi Kabhi, his venture from Red Chillies Idiot Box being helmed by Roshan Abbas. Reportedly, the super icon had a swift meeting with Abbas and tunesmith Pritam to iron out matters. As per insiders, SRK told Abbas that the lyrics sounded too ‘sleazy’ for comfort and in the process learnt a thing or two about the new ‘fundas and lingo’ of the youth, the Gen Z of today.

In a media statement, Abbas states that SRK was ‘stunned’ over the use of such terms.

“I know today’s generation says

some weird things, but this is really different,” King Khan is reported to have said.
