A heartwarming throwback video of superstar Shah Rukh Khan has resurfaced on social media, reminding fans why he is often called the “King of Hearts.” The footage, which dates back to 2017, captures a touching moment of compassion between the actor and a homeless fan that has left the internet swooning once again.
The video shows the actor exiting a Mumbai venue, surrounded by his security team. As he approaches his car, a homeless man calls out to him, explaining that he had been waiting for hours just to catch a glimpse of the star and asking for help with food. Instead of walking past, Shah Rukh paused, gently placed his hand on the man’s head in a blessing, and immediately turned to his longtime bodyguard, Ravi. He instructed his team to ensure the man was provided with a proper meal before they drove away.
Fans have flooded social media with emotional tributes, praising the actor’s empathy. One user noted that Shah Rukh’s humble beginnings allow him to connect deeply with those in need, while another commented that he is simply “built differently.”
While the superstar took a break from the big screen in 2024 following the massive success of Pathaan and Jawan, he is currently busy filming his next project, King. The upcoming film is highly anticipated as it features his daughter, Suhana Khan, and is scheduled for a grand Christmas release. For now, it is his off-screen kindness that is taking center stage.
