New Delhi, Jan 27 : Shahrukh Khan has responded to the speech of US president Barack Obama after he quoted actor's DDLJ's famous "Senorita" dialogue.

The 49-year-old actor took to Twitter to express his happiness and posted, "Proud 2 b part of the gender and religion equality speech of Pres. Obama. Sad he couldn't do the Bhangra... next time Chaiyya Chaiyya for sure."

While addressing the crowd at the Siri Fort Auditorium on the last pit stop of his three-day visit to India, President Obama said he remembered his previous visit in 2010 and "dancing the Bhangra" with his wife, Michelle Obama at an event in Mumbai.

"We were not able to schedule any dance on this visit. Senorita, bade bade deshon mein... you know what I mean", said the US president, grinning, as his audience cheered delightedly.

Obama also stressed on the importance of religious freedom in India by saying that every Indian should celebrate the success of Shah Rukh Khan, Mary Kom and Milkha Singh equally, not by colour of skin or worship.

The multiple references to the star and his film caused a minor storm on social media, especially among his fans, and #SRKprideofIndia is trending on the microblogging site.(ANI)
