Shah Rukh Khan once again set social media buzzing after appearing alongside global stars Millie Bobby Brown and Lee Jung-jae at the Joy Awards in Saudi Arabia. The Bollywood superstar, who recently walked the lavender carpet at the event sporting a striking salt-and-pepper look, found himself at the centre of a crossover moment fans can’t stop talking about.
A photograph from the ceremony, shared on Monday by Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and host of the Joy Awards, shows international celebrities posing together. What instantly caught the internet’s attention was Shah Rukh standing shoulder to shoulder with Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae and Stranger Things actor Millie Bobby Brown, prompting fans to flood social media with reactions celebrating the “legendary energy” of the trio.
This wasn’t the only high-profile interaction for Shah Rukh during the event. Earlier, at the Joy Forum in Riyadh, the actor met Lee Jung-jae and posed for a selfie with him. Sharing the picture online, Lee wrote, “Honoured to be with a respected icon, Mr Shah Rukh Khan,” a post that quickly went viral.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is currently shooting for his upcoming action entertainer King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film features an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Raghav Juyal, Jaideep Ahlawat and Arshad Warsi. Though the release date is yet to be announced, the film’s first look, showcasing Shah Rukh in intense combat sequences involving guns and hand-to-hand action, has already generated massive excitement among fans.
