Shah Rukh Khan, arguably Bollywood’s biggest star, once said in an interview that he was “the last of the stars”, and rightfully so. Hundreds of fans gathered across landmarks in Dubai when King Khan made appearances across town to promote his upcoming release ‘Dunki’. When Dubai resident Disha Kewalramani won a meet-and-greet with the star himself, she couldn’t believe her luck.
The ‘Dunki’ star interacted with several families on the Global Village stage, including hers. He “played games and made jokes” with them all. However, a one-line response to Khan’s question has made her go viral on social media. In a video that has garnered more than 900K views on Instagram, Shah Rukh Khan is seen asking her “What do you do” to which she says “I love you”. Her answer won many hearts online, with Shah Rukh Khan’s fans commenting in agreement.
“When I was asked ‘what do you do’, my first instinctive response, standing in front of the person I have grown up watching and loving, was ‘I love you’…nothing was intentional, it was straight from the heart,” she said.
“He made the situation even better when he immediately said ‘no, that’s the best thing to do’.”
The star danced to his newest song with the Kewalramani family and even struck his signature pose with them. “I think in that moment, I was the happiest,” Disha says.
Before she left, she managed to give him everything she brought for him, including a coin that held sentimental value for her – which he graciously accepted.
