Key Points
Shah Rukh Khan's 'idli vada' joke backfires but this isn't the only time he's spread stereotypes against South Indians..
It has landed him in trouble with his South Indian fans...
Shah Rukh called Telugu film star Ram Charan, who was seen in RRR, on stage to dance with them and uttered some random phrases in Tamil yes Tamil, not Telugu and ended it with idli Ram Charan..
Today, Shah Rukh Khan, who is an extremely influential figure in the country and a global icon, has, unfortunately, been at the centre of this trend of mocking South Indians in recent years and sadly continues to perpetuate this stereotype..
One more X user commented, SRK calls South Superstar as 'Ram Charan Idli' insulting South Indians and nobody has problem with that?.
