Shah Rukh Khan, a dominant force in Bollywood, found his breakthrough role in the 1993 thriller Baazigar. Since then what’s spawned is a three-decade-long illustrious career, where he redefined Indian cinema on the global stage, garnering the status of Bollywood’s ‘King of Romance.’ For his significant contribution to the entertainment world, the Indian superstar was honoured with a career achievement accolade at the 77th Locarno Film Festival on Saturday, August 10.
He rendered a heartfelt speech at the award function but what’s buzzing on social media is a viral moment from his red-carpet appearance. The superstar has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons ever since footage showed him seemingly pushing an elderly man. While posing for the paps, Shah Rukh Khan was captured moving toward an old man.
He supposedly jerks the person so he doesn’t appear in the camera frame. A bystander uploaded the footage on X, criticizing the Indian superstar. The user claimed, “He pushed that old man!!! Shame on you, Shah Rukh Khan.

Many claimed the elderly person could be SRK’s friend. I am a huge @iamsrk and I am truly disappointed with such acts. I don't know but it seems it's only one side of the coin.
