A video of Bollywood superstar meeting a specially-abled fan after the IPL match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday (May 21) has gone viral on social media. Shah Rukh is known for his humble and down-to-earth nature and he often makes headlines for going the extra mile for his fans. However, the actor is now being lauded for meeting the fan despite his poor health.
The now-viral video is from Tuesday night, just a couple of hours before Shah Rukh was hospitalised after suffering from dehydration.
In the video, the Pathaan actor is seen entering a lobby where the wheelchair-bound fan waited for him. He greeted the fan with folded hands and hugged him. Shah Rukh was all smiles as he patiently waited while the fan interacted with him. He also posed with him for pictures.
A fan club of Shah Rukh shared the video on X and wrote, "Despite not feeling well after yesterday's match, Shah Rukh Khan met with a specially-abled FAN and took pictures with him. The most Kind & Humble Superstar."
