Shah Khan Rukh explains 'Dunki's meaning on X/Twitter
Shah Rukh Khan enthusiasts are likely grooving to the beats of Dunki's first song, Lutt Putt Gaya, dropped on Wednesday. Adding to their excitement, he hosted a beloved #AskSRK session. During this lively interaction, a fan probed about the film's title, eliciting SRK's trademark witty response. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki is generating significant anticipation and is set to grace theaters on December 21.
'Funky, Hunky, Monkey'
When asked about the meaning behind the Dunki title, SRK on X/Twitter explained that it's a term describing an illegal journey across borders, pronounced like "Funky," "Hunky," or, as he playfully added, "Monkey!!!" In response to another fan's query about describing Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki in one word each, Khan replied, "Pathaan: Dhuandhaar (smoky), Jawan: Khabardaar (beware), Dunki: Pyaar sirf Pyaar (only love)."
