Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan commands a fan following that stretches across the globe. Known as the King of Bollywood, SRK remains one of the most celebrated and influential actors of all time. However, actor Vivek Oberoi has stirred controversy with a surprising remark about Shah Rukh’s long-term legacy.

Will Shah Rukh Khan Be Forgotten by 2050?

During the promotions of his upcoming film “Masti 4,” Vivek Oberoi shared his views on stardom and changing audience preferences. In an interview with Pinkvilla, he said that the younger generation often has little connection with legendary stars of the past.

Vivek commented,
“People today barely know about stars from the 1960s. In 2050, someone might even ask, ‘Who is Shah Rukh Khan?’ Every generation rewrites history, and old stars get forgotten.”

His statement has triggered a wave of reactions online, especially from SRK fans who strongly disagree.

“Ranbir’s Fans May Not Know Raj Kapoor”

Vivek further explained how generational shifts affect fandoms:
“Ranbir Kapoor’s fans might not even know who Raj Kapoor was, even though we call him the God of Cinema.”

He emphasized that tastes evolve, and younger viewers often relate more to present-day stars.

Social Media Divided

As Shah Rukh Khan recently celebrated his 60th birthday, Vivek’s remarks have ignited a heated debate. While some see his comments as practical observation, most fans believe SRK’s legacy is far too powerful to be forgotten.

Vivek Oberoi is gearing up for the release of Masti 4, along with several other upcoming projects.
