Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is touring India. He probably needs to figure out why so many Indian men use the web to message randoms strangers saying "Hi! Dear" on a daily basis. Or maybe this is a just another business exposure trip. But his latest pitstop is in Mumbai. As soon as he reached the city, he sent out a tweet to the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan asking him if he was up. Shah Rukh Khan was up. Shah Rukh Khan is always up. The actor told him the same and even hinted that his tardiness is 'fake news'. On a very different note, Shah Rukh made the media wait for four hours at the trailer launch of Zero.
Up and Ready. And shockingly on time...if anybody has warned u about my tardiness they r just spreading ‘fake news...’ https://t.co/LE9ybOyJ3K

Coming back to the story, we were still reeling over the fact that Shah Rukh and Jack are friendly enough to text each other on Twitter and make plans for meeting up when another shocker came. Jack actually landed at Land's End and knocked on Shah's house, Mannat.

Then the actor posted a picture from inside his house, in which he is meditating with Jack. He even learnt a thing or two from the Twitter CEO and also tried to teach Jack that '’that all Work and no Pray, would make Jack a dull boy".
Today @jack made me realise with his calm demeanour & composed, nearly meditative mindset...’that all Work and no Pray, would make Jack a dull boy.” Thx for dropping in & also team @Twitter for a lively evening. Have a happy stay in India. pic.twitter.com/melFfe8NKJ

Before this, Jack had met up with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. They talked about "the importance of global conversation". Jack also said that Modi gave him some ideas for Twitter, that he seemed to have liked.

And on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Aanand L Rai's Zero. The VFX-heavy movie will feature the actor essaying the role of a short man. Recently, the said character got his own Twitter handle, in a first for an Indian film. Twitter also launched a customised emoji for the character and the film.
