Khan said that he watched the film after his children recommended it to him and found it 'delightfully discomforting'. "Just saw Parasite the South Korean movie on my kids recommendation. What a delightfully discomforting film. A  bizarre look at social status, the state of the world...and the parasitic nature of the Materialistic Hope we all feed and live off!!"
