On the other hand, Aryan, too couldn't stop smiling at the humorous situation. Check out how the star kid reacted to Preity pulling his leg.

In 2019, when Shahrukh, the cricketer was asked how he would react if he met his namesake, he told Times of India, "If I meet him, I will give him a smile. I am sure I will be feeling quite nervous at first. But I won't initiate (a conversation). I will wait for him to say - 'My name is Shah Rukh Khan'. Then I will also say - 'My name is Shahrukh Khan too'. I would love to see his reaction. I am sure by that time he will know me."
