Believe it or not, this meme has been around for almost a decade! It started as a parody video, but it didn't really take off until recently. Now, it's everywhere on social media, with people using it to make fun of awkward situations or hesitation. The users are also mocking SRK's repeated "K-K-K-Kiran" dialogue delivery using the Hindi term "hakla", meaning "stammerer".

Shah Rukh Khan's team tried to remove the meme from social media, but it's like trying to stop a tidal wave. The meme just keeps coming back, with people finding new ways to share it. It's like a game of cat and mouse, and the meme is winning! Instagram purged the original image in mid-2024, as per reports, with Meta citing policy violations tied to bullying and harassment. However, the meme didn't disappear, just found new ways to survive, as fans used ASCII art recreations, abstract dot-art versions to bypass moderation, and misspelled hashtags like "H@kl@". The meme's popularity has spurred spin-offs like "Suja Salman" and "Banana Akki."
