Did Shah Rukh Khan, the Bollywood superstar, truly push someone at the 77th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland? Although Khan has remained silent on the matter, a video has become widely circulated, depicting him engaging with photographers at the event before seemingly shoving an elderly man aside (possibly to avoid being in his shot). Consequently, the internet is divided; some are criticizing the actor from 'Jawan,' while others are defending his actions.
According to DNA India, one social media user commented, "Always knew he is not a nice person he try to pretend to [be]." Another user stated, "Indeed, it was not playful behavior but SRK's arrogance! What if the old man did the same with SRK?" A third user expressed, "He pushed that old man!!! Shame on you, Shah Rukh Khan."
However, not everyone was quick to condemn Khan. Some suggested the shove was in good humor. One person wrote: "Yes. That guy is his old friend." Another added: "That's one of his old friends (Laughing emojis). Now try spreading negativity lol." Additionally, someone unearthed old footage of Khan with the man in question, which seemed to quell the rumors.
Khan attended the Locarno Film Festival to accept the Pardo alla Carriera, or Career or lifetime achievement award, becoming the first Indian celebrity to receive this honor.
