'They Played Bheege Honth Tere': John Abraham Opens Up On Viral Fan Theories Of Pathaan Being Gay Love Story With Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood's handsome hunk John Abraham opened up on his bond, or rather, 'chemistry', with his Pathaan co-star Shah Rukh Khan and stated that he is aware how fans reimagined the film as a gay love story upon its release in 2023. John added that he even saw clips of SRK and himself from the film, with raunchy songs being played in the background.

During an interaction with News18, John reacted to the viral memes showing his chemistry with SRK in Pathaan. "I don’t have social media on my phone but my team tells me about the things that happen there. And yes, I’ve seen that meme," he admitted.

He went on to say, "There’s also this other scene where we come really close to each other and they played Bheege Honth Tere in the background. I saw it and it looked like the most romantic film ever!"

John added that it was a pleasure working with SRK and highlighted the importance of big commercial films like Pathaan to keep the industry running.

A few days ago, John had quipped in an interview that the best kiss he got in life was not from a woman, but from SRK. He was shown a picture of the superstar kissing him on his cheek during the promotions of Pathaan, and he had gushed, "That's probably the best kiss I have gotten in my life...That was at the success bash of Pathaan. Probably, one of the best co-stars I have worked with."

Pathaan marked SRK's comeback on the silver screens after a hiatus of over four years, and it also starred Deepika Padukone as the female lead. While SRK played an Indian agent, John played the antagonist Jim, and won the hearts of the audience with his portrayal.
