Actor Shah Rukh Khan broke his silence on the many successes and setbacks that he has experienced in the last few years, as he accepted an honour at a recent awards ceremony. In his speech, Shah Rukh alluded to the arrest of his son, Aryan Khan, and spoke about the trio of hit film that he starred in last year. He also charmed the crowd with his trademark wit and fun interactions with others, such as director Mani Ratnam. But a kind gesture that he made towards P Veeramuthuvel, the project director in charge of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, caught the attention of his fans on social media, and a video of the moment is being widely shared online.
The short clip from the end of the awards ceremony shows Shah Rukh pulling Veeramuthuvel towards him, making sure that the ISRO scientist gets his moment in the spotlight. The shy Veeramuthuvel was trying to remain in the background, but Shah Rukh wouldn’t have it. Previously, the actor had obliged the ISRO team by joining them on stage for a photograph. Veeramuthuvel was joined on stage by ISRO chairman S Somanath, and they were felicitated by union minister Dr Jitendra Singh, who described the chairman as ‘the Shah Rukh Khan of space’, much to the actor’s amusement.

This humble act of Shah Rukh Khan went unnoticed yesterday. An ISRO Scientist was offering his place to him during the group photograph and going to stand somewhere else as he was too nervous in front of him, but SRK pulled him back to stand alongside him. What a man, @iamsrk ❤️ pic.twitter.com/bEl8BktPLy

What a man, @iamsrk,” one fan wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a clip of the moment. The same clip was also shared on Reddit, where another fan commented, “I wasn’t an SRK fan growing up. I never found him good looking. But man as I am growing up, I like him so much more. I can listen to him for so long. And somehow I find him very cute and handsome now. That is SRK.” Another fan quipped, “Mohan bhargav hai woh .. wahi karega na.”

At the event, Shah Rukh spoke about the career-defining success that he witnessed last year, having delivered three of the biggest hits of his life – Pathaan, Jawan, Dunki – back-to-back. But he also spoke about the hardships that he and his family experienced, as he indirectly addressed the arrest and imprisonment of his son, Aryan. Shah Rukh thanked his fans for showing up to watch his films, which he recognised as a show of support for him and his family.
