Shah Rukh Khan trips at airport
In a clip, the actor was seen getting out of his car, escorted by his bodyguards and security personnel. Even though his team formed a ring around him, fans were seen running and screaming his name. A girl rushed towards him and started pushing, making Shah Rukh lose his balance briefly as he hopped to one side.
However, he kept his cool and also waved before entering the airport. For the travel, he wore a black sweatshirt, matching pants, and shoes. He also wore a cap and dark sunglasses.
Internet reacts
Reacting to the video, a fan wrote, “The real star of the Indian film industry.” A tweet read, “The way some fans are screaming, it sounds scary.” “The girl pushed his team and tried to reach him, SRK, such a big actor. The security should be stronger.” “SRK is SRK. How he kept his calm. But this isn’t done. The girl nearly jumped on him.”
