The Indian Express - Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has added a new feather in his cap. On Saturday, SRK became the first Indian to receive the prestigious Pardo alla Carriera award at the Locarno Film Festival. The actor’s acceptance speech and dapper appearance were the talk of the town. However, a brief red-carpet moment has ignited a social media storm.

A video clip surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) showing Shah Rukh apparently “pushing” a person to clear space for a solo photo. Netizens quickly condemned the actor’s behaviour, labeling it as “arrogant” and “rude”. One tweet read, “He pushed that old man!!! Shame on you, Shah Rukh Khan,” while others accused him of arrogance and rudeness. Some fans said King Khan was in a fun mood and he didn’t seriously push the man in question.

After the video was widely shared on social media, fans rushed to the actor’s defence, claiming the man in question was a longtime friend and the interaction was playful.

“King (Shah Rukh) having fun times,” read a comment while another said, “Yes. That guy is his old friend.” A fan wrote, “That’s one of his old friends. Now try spreading negativity lol.” The debate continues to rage on social media.

Most of the comments in social media are based on lack of knowledge of full context . Same with people positively commenting on NPP without knowing any context under which they are contesting.

Since he is a popular person, a highly popular. Some are against him and take advantage of dragging him in controversies even at his slighest action. Sometimes back they accused him of spitting on Lata Mageshkar's funeral.

At one time it was King Koli and now it is King Sharuk Khan when will this nonsense end. As the rhyme says all the Kings Horses and all the Kings men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again as in a situation negativity cannot be erased although words are used to justify it!!!!!!!!

SRK is not a fool, he is an extremely careful PR guy. He wouldn't do something like this in public. He has a smile on his face while pushing him. May be he is an old friend and they were just having a fun time. Best is ask the old man, without drawing conclusions.
