She further added that that the Fake News Brigade is pretty pathetic.

The viral post also claims that five years ago Shah Rukh Khan also said the same thing.
On further investigation, we found out that even this statement is false.
In 2014,  Shah Rukh Khan put out a clarification on his official Twitter handle saying that he never made any such statement.

Good time to tell all fools who r talking of a tweet that I didn’t tweet, u suck as much as the grammar of that fake tweet & I’m being kind.

— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) May 18, 2014

This thus proves that the above claim is fake.
