  • I don’t like the way srk fan’s are celebrating Yashji’s death as a mark of triumph for their fave. Respect the legend and don’t think about the release dates of movie weather ajay will back out or not.

  • Some anti SRK fans are Disgusting….after
    loosing a legend like Yash Ji , they are still
    talking about records and showing thier

    No humanity in them, there are not a
    human beings for me. DISGUSTING.

  • To some fans & haters, plz don’t
    drag Jab Tak Hai Jaan in this. Its

    something called humanity too

  • some srk fans are disgusting. they happy after the death of a legend that they are gunning for ajay devgun to back out rather than memroy of yashji.
