At the unveiling of Paanchvi Ki Paltan, we asked these kids a million-dollar question. Kya Shah Rukh Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hai? The kids screamed in unison “Nooooooooooooooooo.” While Paanchvi.. enables these kids to have taste at stardom, it also presents an exciting opportunity to get even with the adults. In life, it’s always the adults who keep commanding and even bullying them. However, the tables have turned as the kids say, “Often, the adults order us to study, do this, don’t do that. Well, here’s our chance to lay the order and even pull their legs. We won’t leave any stone unturned in poking fun at the elders.” So, big boys and girls, beware of the Paanchvi Ki Paltan.
