Alia Bhatt, we are mad at you for BARGING in on Shah Rukh Khan’s Facebook live – watch video

Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt held a small Facebook Live for Dear Zindagi. Here's why we think it wasn't necessary.

Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt make up to be one cute looking pair onscreen. Not in that way, of course. We know what their roles are in Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi and it is the kind of chemistry that the life coach and girl in distress share which makes it look cute. So far we’ve seen two teasers from the film and both the times, we’ve fallen more for the insane cuteness the duo bring out. However, that was something we didn’t see in Shah Rukh Khan’s Facebook Live and in a way, we wished Alia didn’t barge in on him! Okay, this might sound a bit rude to most of you but how many of you were looking forward to the Facebook Live of SRK, raise your hands and virtually high five us in the air.
In the evening of 26th October, Shah Rukh Khan took to his Facebook to state that he would be holding a live pretty soon. With the picture he shared the post, it was pretty evident that the actor was to speak about Dear Zindagi. However, what disappointed us was the fact that it was shortlived and had barely much to gush about. Every time Mr Khan is game for the cameras, we’re prepared to be floored by him. As the love began, we could feel that as well. The actor was all suited up and look dapper as always. He sat on a chair and started having a good conversation with his fans (and us). Khan even told us the trick to getting him to meet people (that was a pretty cool answer, you can check it out HERE).

However, soon, barged in Alia Bhatt. Both, Alia and Shah Rukh had a quippy banter for a minute but soon shifted their attention back to the Facebook Live. The main purpose of the live, and I’m gonna be a little blunt here, was just to ask everyone to keep 25th November locked as their film will be releasing then. Now that’s something we already know. Perhaps whoever thought of this concept, should have planned a little more content as there wasn’t much that happened. The actor barely answered a few questions and soon Miss Bhatt made an entrance. But even that wasn’t justified properly as they didn’t say much or answer many questions. Technically, they only answered about one or two questions and soon shifted their attention to Dear Zindagi. By they, it was only Shah Rukh.
In fact, if it were just Shah Rukh or just Alia doing the live or them doing the live for a longer stretch of time, it would’ve made more sense. The point of the Live was lost as not only did we hardly get any interesting details about the film or the actors but it seemed a bit forced. Perhaps whoever asked Alia and Shah Rukh to team up and promote Dear Zindagi on Facebook should’ve really planned a good concept just like their Twitter pics and videos for this platform as well. Something the makers should pay heed to and avoid. Anyway, we’ve attached the live video as well so you can see it for yourself and decide. We thought it was a very forced live video done.
