While some were about his acting career, a few also concerned the ongoing FIFA World Cup; one such question was on the upcoming final between France and Argentina, scheduled to take place on December 18. The fan asked Shah Rukh on which team would be be supporting, and the Indian actor had a cryptic response to the question.
“Arre yaar the heart says Messi no?? But Mbappe is a treat to watch also,” Shah Rukh wrote on his official Twitter account.

France, meanwhile, also registered a convincing 2-0 victory; Theo Hernandez opened the scoring in the fifth minute, while forward Randal Kolo Muani doubled the lead late into the second half.
Another fan asked Shah Rukh, “why Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi?” However, the Indian actor had a rather heartwarming response to the question.
“Just as advice don’t keep finding better….it destroys the good!” Shah Rukh wrote.
The actor is currently the co-owner of Indian Premier League franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, that has won the title on two occasions (2012 and 2014).
