Dhruv Rathee then speculated about how much money interest SRK would earn annually if we simply deposited the money in the bank. He also said that the actor could afford anything he wished for, including staying at the most luxurious hotels in the world, maintaining a private jet, and going on luxury holidays. Dhruv claimed that even after spending so much, SRK will be left with a lot of money.

Towards the video's end, Dhruv questioned SRK's decision to endorse a pan masala brand despite his billionaire status. He asked, "Aise mein Shah Rukh Khan se mera sawaal ye hai, kya itne paise kaafi nahi hai? Agar kaafi hai, toh kya majburi padi ki paan masala jaise haani kaarak cheez ko aap abhi bhi promote kar rahe ho? (My only question to SRK is, isn't that much money enough? If it is, why are you still promoting something as harmful as pan masala?)

Dhruv Rathee’s Message for SRK

He then referred to reports from 2014 about SRK’s endorsements for the brand and said that the actor was getting paid INR 10–20 crore for the promotion, adding that the amount might have significantly increased over the years. Now that SRK is reportedly a billionaire, the YouTuber asked the actor to reflect on the impact of his choices and said, "Lekin sawaal ye h hai ki aapko ye extra INR 100-200 ki zarurat bhi hai? Apne andar jhaank kar honestly ane aap se ye sawal pucjo kya keejiyega itne dhan raashi ka?

He concluded the video by saying, "Ye soch kar dekho, Desh ka top actor agar ye haani kaarak cheezein promote karna band kardega, toh kya impact padega iska desh par." ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ Clocks 27 Years: Karan Johar Shares Candid Memories of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji From Film Set, Says ‘Thank You to Everyone for the Love You Continue To Give This Film’ (View Pics).
