Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has found himself at the center of a social media storm.
A video clip circulating online shows the actor forcefully pushing an elderly gentleman during a red carpet-event in Switzerland, leading to widespread backlash from fans and critics alike.
The clip, which captures Khan receiving the prestigious Pardo Alla Carriera award for his contributions to the film industry, shows the actor making his way down the red carpet when he suddenly nudges the older man aside, instructing him to move back.
The man complies, and Shah Rukh Khan continues to engage with the media, posing for photographs.
The video’s viral spread has ignited a wave of criticism, with many accusing the actor of disrespect and poor conduct on an international stage.
While some supporters of Khan argue that the interaction was a playful gesture between friends, others have taken to social media to voice their disapproval, questioning his behavior.
One disheartened fan commented, “A person of his stature should demonstrate more respect, especially towards elders.”
While another added, “This is not the kind of behavior expected from someone representing our cinema abroad.”
The incident has triggered intense online discussions, with opinions sharply divided on whether Khan’s actions were harmless or deserving of condemnation.
Earlier this year, Khan sparked controversy with remarks made about Ram Charan at an Ambani pre-wedding event.
Khan’s use of Tamil and Telugu words, including calling Charan ‘idli,’ was considered offensive by some.
Zeba Hassan, Charan’s makeup artist, shared her disappointment on Instagram Stories, noting that although she was a fan of Khan, she found the comment inappropriate.
