Alan Rusbridger, formerly editor of The Guardian and currently principal of Lady Margaret Hall, recently interrupted a Twitter exchange between SRK and actress Alia Bhatt earlier this week to ask if the 51-year-old star would address students in the college.
"They love you," said Mr Rusbridger (what we'd love is for him to tell us if he's seen a Shah Rukh Khan movie).
@iamsrk can we tempt to to Oxford University to talk to our students at @lmhoxford? They love you (I'm the principal)

SRK and Alia are co-stars from the film Dear Zindagi, which released last Friday. They had a conversation on Twitter about SRK's 'cool VFX' (Alia's tweet) and his response about how he was 'glad to be of service.' Into this, Mr Rusbridger interjected:
We can't find an answering tweet from SRK but his fans are thrilled by the invitation, urging Mr Rusbridger to telecast the actor's address (should it happen) live so everyone can watch. Shah Rukh Khan has, in the past, addressed students at Yale and the Dhirubhai Ambani International School.
Some months ago, he was mobbed at the University of Southern California, where his son Aryan now studies.
