Amid the massive success of Pathaan, fans recall Neha Dhupia's 19-year-old statement: "Either sex sells or Shah Rukh Khan"

Shah Rukh Khan is back, and he has comeback in style. The movie Pathaan served as the actor's return to the big screen, and we must admit that it is the "Baap" of comebacks. The movie, which debuted on January 25th, is doing roaring business in theatres, and reviews are pouring in nonstop.

Bollywood celebrities as well as fans are completely in awe of SRK's performance in the movie. Neha Dhupia recently watched the movie and tweeted about her experience, saying there were shouts and whistles throughout the movie. In the midst of Pathaan's enormous success, Neha's previous tweet regarding King Khan is becoming viral, and her fans couldn't agree more.

Back in 2004 when Neha Dhupia was promoting her film, Julie. The actress had said, “Either s*x sells or Shah Rukh Khan.” She continued by saying that the actress had to include a tonne of sex because Khan wasn't in her movie. It's interesting that the statement is still so true even though the movie came out 19 years ago. A Twitter user recently tagged the actress and said, “Almost 2 decades back @NehaDhupia had given a statement ‘only s*x or Shah Rukh Khan sells and that stays true.” Neha was quick to respond and wrote, “20 years on, my statement rings true. This is not an “actor’s career” but a King’s reign #KingKhan @iamsrk.”

For the uninformed, Neha Dhupia during the release of Julie had told Times Of India, “Julie has love-making scenes and shots exposing my bare back.. I am not affected by the s*x symbol tag. It doesn’t bother me if people say I have overshadowed Mallika Sherawat and Bipasha Basu by exposing in Julie. In today’s time either s*x sells or Shah Rukh Khan. So I would rather be a s*x prop in my next five films.” Post Pathaan’s release, the statement has gone viral.
