Shah Rukh Khan has stamped his authority at box office as he became first actor to deliver 525 cr nett domestic and 1050 cr worldwide grossers back to back at box office in single year. He himself has broken all records of his previous release Pathaan in matter of 7 months with Jawan! If those blockbusters were not enough, SRK scored hattrick with Dunki in December as film zoomed past 455 cr worldwide gross in 22 days itself.
Shah Rukh’s Humble Gesture At CNN NEWS 18 Event
Actor Shah Rukh Khan was bestowed with the marquee award for CNN-News18 ‘Indian of the Year’ (IOTY) awards. The 13th edition of India’s premier television award was held on January 10, 2024, to recognise exceptional contributions of remarkable individuals across seven categories – Business, Entertainment, Sports, Youth Icon, Rising Sports Star, Social Change, and Climate Warriors.
Shah Rukh Khan met Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists at the event. They also posed together for photos on stage at the CNN-News18 Indian Of The Year 2023 event on Wednesday. Now, a video of their interaction has surfaced, and many are praising Shah Rukh for making sure ‘shy ISRO scientist’ Palanivel Veeramuthuvel, who served as the project director of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, did not remain in the background during group photos.
Reddit Reacts To SRK’s Wholesome Video
Sharing a clip from the event on Reddit, a person wrote, “This humble act of Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) went unnoticed. An ISRO scientist was offering his place to him (SRK) during the group photograph and was going to stand somewhere else as he was too nervous in front of him. But SRK pulled him back to stand alongside him. What a man.”
Reacting to the clip, a Redditor wrote, “The ISRO scientist you are pointing at is Mr Palanivel Veeramuthuvel, Director of Chandrayaan-3 mission. Yeah nice gesture by SRK.” Another said, “This gentleman asked for a photo with SRK! He completed the successful Chandrayaan mission and asked for SRK’s photo. It’s so sweet. And being so humble to offer his place in the middle. Great gesture on SRK’s part also to pull him back at his place in the centre!”

‘This is why he’s King Khan’
Praising Shah Rukh, who was last seen in Dunki, a person also said, “I wasn’t an SRK fan growing up. I never found him good looking. But man as I am growing up, I like him so much more. I can listen to him for so long. And somehow I find him very cute and handsome now. That is SRK.” One more wrote, “Even if it is an ‘act’ it is still something good. Some actors have no awareness.” Another commented, “This is why he’s King Khan.”
A fan praised the actor, writing, “No matter what, he cares about people beyond those who are dying fans of him outside his house. And that’s rare these days…” A person also wrote, “It’s been two days, this thing actually went unnoticed. And if you keep track of events, many people don’t show basic decency during photographs and focus on taking limelight without caring about others…”
The esteemed panel of jurors comprised iconic figures, including Former Solicitor General of India Harish Salve, Screenwriter and Lyricist Javed Akhtar, Retd Supreme Court Juge Indu Malhotra, Former Indian Athlete and Vice-President of Athletics Federation of India Anju Bobby George, Chairperson of RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, Sanjiv Goenka, and Environmental Activist and Lawyer, Afroz Shah.
