Shah Rukh Khan, recently at the 28th edition of KIFF (Kolkata International Film Festival), spoke about the negative impact of social media amid the Boycott Pathan trend.
During the event, he gave a speech where he said: “The advent of narrative through cinema and social media platforms has become the primary expression of human experience and emotion.
