Comedian Hasan Minhaj clocked in 1 million followers on Twitter and the reason was big enough for him to rejoice. Imagine achieving this huge feat and the pride you wish to see on your parents' face. Clearly, Minhaj was one excited kid, eager to share the big news with his father but the latter's response has left us in splits. The comedian's father is upset for his son's number of followers are lesser than Shah Rukh Khan and the difference is a big number.

Hasan took to his Twitter account to share a screenshot of his conversation with his father. "Hit 1 million followers dad! Hope you're proud", he wrote only to get himself compared to the King Khan of Bollywood. His father reminded him he's still 17 million followers behind Shah Rukh Khan and his roasting was enough to tickle our funny bones. Imagine a comedian getting roasted! Clearly, the art of pulling others' legs runs in their genes and we can see where Hasan gets his humour from.

And Minhaj's glory doesn't end with his Twitter followers. He was also named in Time 100 Most Influential People 2019. He recently made headlines when actor Anupam Kher tweeted him saying he would love him to see another truth about Kashmir. This was in context to his recent episode of Minhaj’s Patriot Act where he spoke about Kashmir and the abrogation of Article 370.
