Shah Rukh gave this answer

When Shah Rukh Khan came to know about this, his reaction was such that no one had thought about it. King Khan said "So you should have thought of all this beforehand, shouldn't you? Tell them that the audience will not think so much. If they have got to see the song twice, then they will be happy."
