Woman shares touching story of her interaction with ‘Badshah of Bollywood’ in 2001 goes viral

New Delhi: All of us have experienced being awestruck by a movie star. Additionally, when Shah Rukh Khan is the star, people sometimes exaggerate their praise. Imagine, though, a young person volunteering for a school publication and trying her luck at meeting the Badshah of Bollywood. Seems impossible, doesn’t it? But before reading the amazing post by Twitter user Rudrani.

The tale Rudrani shared on Twitter is absolutely worth reading. A reader could have certainly read journalist or interviewer descriptions or stories about how kind and humble SRK is, but Rudrani’s story demonstrates why SRK is known as the “King of hearts.”

As #Pathaan roars into the box office, time to reshare the one time I met him as a kid and he turned out to be a kind and gentle human being. Welcome back @iamsrk https://t.co/Ybqpiwg9nn

“This is my SRK story,” Rudrani wrote.  She initially said that she gave this a lot of thought before writing, but if not now, when? Moving on to the story she said, “I volunteered for The Telegraph in Schools, a school newspaper, in 2001 when I was in sixth grade. Shah Rukh Khan was in Kolkata for the promotion of “Asoka,” SRK. My fellow teammate (journalist) and I wanted to interview him!” meant the post’s opening section.

The two of them were inexperienced students. At The Park Hotel, there was a huge line of eminent journalists waiting to see him. Some individuals openly chuckled at her face, “A superstar’s interview?” But they didn’t have anything to lose, the post continued.

Rudrani continued by explaining that she had a total of 15 minutes with the celebrity. However, that little interview was one of the most memorable because SRK took care to make the young journalists and made them feel at ease.

What a story! Tells a lot about the humility of this man we all love.

Even though the thread was originally posted in 2021, Rudrani re-posted it in response to Pathaan’s phenomenal box-office performance. The praise for SRK’s modesty was constant. Many people noted that his actions also contributed to his enormous fan following.
