Actor, dancer, and television host Raghav Juyal recently opened up about a light-hearted and much-talked-about moment involving Shah Rukh Khan, his son Aryan Khan, and stand-up comedian Samay Raina. The moment in question revolves around Samay’s now-viral “Say No To Cruise” T-shirt — a cheeky phrase that quickly caught the internet’s attention and led to a hilarious real-life interaction with the Khans.
During a recent interview, Raghav shared the backstory of the encounter and revealed how Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan reacted when they saw the quirky T-shirt. With his trademark humor, Raghav narrated the incident, saying, “Woh toh aisa dekh rahe the jaise mazaak hi ho gaya ho!” (They were looking as if it had all turned into a big joke!). He further added that both SRK and Aryan took the situation sportingly, laughing it off and even complimenting Samay’s sense of humor.
For context, the T-shirt slogan “Say No To Cruise” was originally meant as a light-hearted wordplay referring to the infamous cruise ship controversy that had involved Aryan Khan back in 2021. Over time, the phrase became a meme among social media users. However, what could have been an awkward situation turned into a moment of warmth and laughter, thanks to SRK’s ever-graceful demeanor and Aryan’s calm reaction.
Raghav explained that the entire interaction took place during an informal gathering where several celebrities, including comedians and actors, were present. “Samay wore the T-shirt without thinking too much about it — it was just his style of humor. But when SRK and Aryan walked in, everyone went silent for a second. Then, SRK being SRK, started laughing, and Aryan joined him too. That broke the ice completely,” Raghav said, recalling the moment.
He went on to praise Shah Rukh Khan for his humility and incredible sense of humor, saying, “That’s the thing about him — he never lets anyone feel uncomfortable. Even in that situation, where things could have gone either way, he just smiled and made it light. That’s what makes him such a legend.”
Fans have since flooded social media with clips and reactions to Raghav’s revelation, calling it another example of Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic charm and grace. Many also applauded Aryan Khan for his composed and good-humored response, noting that he seems to have inherited his father’s calm presence and wit.
As for Samay Raina, the comedian appears to have taken the viral fame in stride, continuing to poke fun at the situation online while maintaining his signature comedic style. The “Say No To Cruise” T-shirt, which started as a joke, has now become a cultural talking point among fans — and Raghav’s candid revelation has only added to the laughter surrounding it.
In the end, the story perfectly captures what fans love most about Bollywood’s King Khan — his ability to turn even the most awkward moments into ones filled with warmth, wit, and laughter.
