Congress parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor, a celebrated wordsmith for Indians, was outwitted on Monday by none other than superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Tharoor, who is used to getting most Indians run for a dictionary to decode his highly sophisticated English, kept his wish for “King Khan,” short and simple. “A National Treasure wins a National Award. Congratulations @iamsrk,” Tharoor wrote in a message on X. However, Khan, who won his first-ever National Award on August 1, left his fans a little flabbergasted while penning his thank-you note in Tharoor-like English.”Thank you for the simple praise, Mr Tharoor… would not have understood something more magniloquent and sesquipedalian…ha ha,” the superstar replied.
