A bronze statue of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) was set to be unveiled at London’s Leicester Square later this week, but the event has been postponed indefinitely due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, following Operation Sindoor. SRK, who was already in London, apparently decided to delay the ceremony out of respect for the ongoing situation. The actor returned to Mumbai late Thursday evening.
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan cancelled a scheduled event this week that was set to unveil a bronze statue of himself and co-star Kajol from the iconic film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) in Leicester Square.
Khan was expected to make a brief stop in the British capital on his return journey from his debut appearance at the Met Gala in New York. However, the event was called off due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan in the wake of Operation Sindoor.
Although Khan was already in London at the time, he is believed to have postponed the ceremony out of respect for the unfolding situation. The actor returned to Mumbai late on Thursday evening.
Yet, the actor’s decision to delay any official ceremony underscores his awareness of the larger context and his continued empathy toward the country and its people.
Fans across the globe have lauded the move, calling it “classy” and “appropriate,” once again reinforcing Shah Rukh Khan’s enduring stature—not just as a screen icon, but as a voice of grace and dignity in turbulent times.
No official statement has been released yet, but the move speaks volumes.
