What caught everyone's attention was a fan's question, “Khaana khaaya kya bhai?" (Did you have your food, Brother?)" To which, SRK humorously replied: "Kyun bhai aap Swiggy se ho….bhej doge kya? (Why brother? Are you from Swiggy...will you send me food?)"

Seems like the food-delivery giant was just looking for this opportunity to hit the right spot. To everyone's surprise, the food delivery app didn't waste a minute and hopped right into the conversation. They offered to deliver a delicious dinner to SRK. In a reply to SRK's tweet, they wrote "Hum hain Swiggy se, bhej dein kya? (We are from Swiggy, may we send??"

Swiggy reaches Mannat

What next? In hours, Swiggy employees reached Mannat, SRK's residence. Despite the Pathaan actor not continuing the conversation, Swiggy ensured that they didn't let the conversation slip by announcing their arrival in a Twitter post. Giving a delightful twist to the playful exchange, they wrote in the caption, “Hum swiggy wale hai aur hum dinner leke aagaye (We are Swiggy folks and we are here with dinner).” It is impossible to miss the reference to SRK's iconic film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge here. https://twitter.com/Swiggy/status/1668267503833829380Commenting on the post, a user wrote to Swiggy, “Tum log ka toh din bann gaya hoga.”

To which, the food app replied: “*life,” sharing the famous moment from SRK’s movie Om Shanti Om.

Asked about his next project, Jawaan and whether it was ready, SRK replied, "Absolutely Ready Steady Po!"
