The video went viral on Reddit, where it garnered mixed reactions. Some users found the incident inappropriate and called for the woman to face consequences, stating that if the roles were reversed, the reaction would be different. Others described the woman’s behavior as cringe-worthy and emphasized the importance of personal space and consent.
It’s worth noting that Shah Rukh Khan is known for his affection towards his fans. In a recent heartwarming gesture, he surprised a terminally ill fan with a video call that lasted over 40 minutes. During the call, he promised to meet her soon and provide financial assistance for her treatment. He even expressed his willingness to visit her home in Kolkata for a home-cooked fish curry, provided it had no bones. The fan’s daughter also mentioned that Shah Rukh Khan promised to attend her wedding and enjoy fish curry prepared in her mother’s kitchen.
These contrasting incidents highlight the complexities of being a celebrity and the varying reactions from fans. While Shah Rukh Khan’s love for his fans is well-known and appreciated, this particular incident sparked a debate on boundaries, personal space, and consent.
