General Shahrukh Fanboying deserves a separate podcast which should be 2 hours long minimum.

Vir and me wrote the second time SRK and Saif got together :).

You know that was my fav award show and the way they pulled it off, remember watching it with my cousins and laughing badly. Great job

[@PopDiveWithVishal]

It was the best…. OG

[@lizbethvarghese8161]

I dont know if you really respect SRK or not but he has always treated writers including you with lot of respect and made writers comfortable around him but you always make insensitive jokes about his son

[@rahulkant555]

Vir and I* PS: Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@PopDiveWithVishal]

@@rahulkant555 We are talking about SRK and a Rahul who sound like if Pant was Cunt shows up... God! and this parodied Shah Rukh Pant is even apologetic for a being a woke grammar nazi. Shows everything what Shah Rukh, Pant or Vir is NOT in 3 word comment.

Exactlyyyyyyyy

Man just realised how much vir has done for comedians , not only did he open the doors for the comedy industry In india but opened doors for comedians in different industries . Huge respect !

Well said. Forget India, that man is the "one" in whole world !

[@anirbanchakraborty1464]

@@ahmedakhan_3804 although I love srk but the general culture of idol worshipping of celebs needs to go. It gets toxic more often than not.

[@ahmedakhan_3804]

@@anirbanchakraborty1464 Yup idol worshipping of any celeb or cricketer in India is truly infuriating. It's as if the person is a good human being just because they excelled in some art. Your excellence in a field has nothing to do with the goodness of a person. People don't get this simple thing. And ya, I'm a die hard srk enthusiast. But that doesn't mean I worship him. I know he must have vices too. It'll be stupid to think a celeb , especially one on the show business as a saint.

[@abdulsamadshah4401]

This was so interesting and hilarious at the same time. Shahrukh deserves a whole different podcast. Tanmay Bhai❣️

[@shahrukhdiwani8420]

We need more stories please, we can listen to you guys talk about SRK the whole day. Thank you for this wonderful hour.

srk isnt thaat great also guys chill tf out- we kNOW you need to keep him up there but still- just SHush tf up😂 they NEED to do this else thier main support systems will slowly collapse as a result, get that??😂

[@hlrcenation8404]

One dedicated show on SRK stories and the forgiveness for SRK vlog should be given to Tanmay 😂❤️

[@prabhat30100]

All SRK fans, need little bit more of these ❤️ because we are missing him on screen, nd not much on TV also.

[@denver5093]

The best part about this podcast: When Tanmay asked if everyone's done fanboying over SRK - and, in sync, they go "Noooo" SRK, greatest ever!!!!

[@pistol275]

OK but can you legit...LEGIT...and I'm being quite serious here... Have an episode just about SRK stories?? Like, detailed stories about your experiences with him. 1-hr long, 2-hr long, whatever...just let it flow!

Seriously we can't get enough of Srk. Just spill out everything you have about this guy.
