Was Shah Rukh Khan indeed seen in Switzerland ‘pushing an old guy’ while posing on a red carpet? The actor’s admirers disagree, notwithstanding the opinions of certain Twitter users.
Shah Rukh Khan added another achievement to his illustrious career. On Saturday, he became the first Indian celebrity to be honoured with a lifetime achievement award, the Pardo alla Carriera or Career Leopard, at the 77th edition of the Locarno Film Festival. However, a red carpet video of the actor is grabbing attention on X (Formerly Twitter) amid claims he ‘pushed’ someone as he posed for solo pictures.Â
Watch Shah Rukh Khan’s red carpet video
The video of Shah Rukh on the Locarno Film Festival red carpet on Saturday was posted by an X user. In it, the actor approached a man who was positioned close to the photographers on one side. In order to keep the subject out of the frame while being photographed, the actor appeared to “push” the subject. Some X users, meanwhile, took issue with his gesture.
‘He pushed that old man’
An X user tweeted the footage, saying, “He pushed that old man!!!” Shah Rukh Khan, you are a disgrace.” Several responded to the tweet. Someone stated, “Always knew he (Shah Rukh) is not a nice person, he tries to pretend to be…”
Someone remarked, “In fact, Shah Rukh’s conceit was the amusing behavior! “What if Shah Rukh was the target of the old man’s similar actions?” Additionally, someone commented, “Always rude,” for the actor. He acts as though he is immortal and superior to everyone else.
Fans defend Shah Rukh Khan
Nevertheless, many people brought out that the actor was only being “playful” with the man in the video, which showed him with “a friend.” “King (Shah Rukh) having fun times,” one person tweeted. One more person said, “Yes. He has an old buddy in that man.” “That’s one of his old friends (laughing emojis),” another tweet said. Try spreading negativity now, hehe.
Shah Rukh at Locarno Film Festival
Several images from the event have made their way online, showing off the actor’s timeless appeal that left the crowd in amazement. Fans were drawn to Shah Rukh’s suave appearance at the festival, as he was dressed in a sleek black jacket and matching pants. The speech given by Shah Rukh, which was constantly applauded, was the high point, though.
Shah Rukh made reference to his well-known open-armed stance when he added, “Thank you all for welcoming me with such wide arms – wider than the ones I do on screen.” “It’s a very beautiful, very cultural, very artistic, and extremely hot city of Locarno… so many people stuffed up in a little square and so hot,” the actor said, praising the festival’s venue. It feels just like home in India.”
