That`s when King Khan invited Ram Charan to the stage. While his intention was to add more fun, his choice of words, “Bhend idly vada Ram charan kahan hai tu???” were arguably controversial.

This not only agitated the fans but also angered the Telugu actor`s makeup artist, Zeba Hassan. She took to Instagram and expressed her disappointment in Shah Rukh`s comment.

Sharing the video on Instagram stories, Zeba wrote, “I walked out after this. So disrespectful towards a star like @alwaysramcharan.”

Shah Rukh Khan faces backlash from Ram Charan fans

Meanwhile, many fans and netizens have come forward to criticize the Dunki actor for his controversial comment.

One user took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote, “Shahrukh Khan is being racist to South Indians by calling ‘Ram Charan idli’ after a South Indian director gave him the biggest hit of his career.”

I was very irritated when @srk mumbo jumboed some rubbish as though he’s joking .. it was so offensive .. I don’t know how @AlwaysRamCharan tolerated it .. he has done this many times and he should be pulled up for this ..

“Shahrukh Khan is being insensitive by referring to Ram Charan as ‘idli,’ which could be perceived as a racial stereotype against South Indians. SHAME ON YOU, @iamsrk,” read another comment.

While one Twitter user wondered, “Shah Rukh Khan is being casually racist to Ram Charan, who is South Indian, by calling him idli. I wonder if his so-called well-educated and sophisticated fan base will condemn it.”

Ram Charan`s makeup artist, Zeba Hassan, further elaborated, “It’s funny how everyone wants to pay us ‘lesser’ because we’re from South India, whereas they’re okay to pay triple the amount for the same thing to an artist if that artist is Delhi or Mumbai-based.”
