Shah Rukh Khan hugging a physically challenged fan despite being ill wins hearts

Despite being visibly unwell, SRK stood and chatted with the specially-abled fan.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was admitted to a hospital in Ahmedabad due to dehydration on Wednesday (May 22). Though the actor was not feeling well, he made sure to oblige a physically challenged fan and hugged him on his way to the hospital.

Despite being visibly unwell, SRK stood and chatted with the specially-abled fan. He was seen with folded hands, thanking the fan while interacting with him. Shah Rukh sported his signature ponytail, rugged look, white t-shirt, and jeans.

He later also got a picture clicked with the fan on his request. The video has been winning the hearts of fans all over the internet.

SRK was admitted to the multi-specialty KD Hospital in Ahmedabad after suffering a heatstroke. This incident occurred shortly after his victory lap at a cricket stadium with his kids, AbRam and Suhana Khan. The trio was celebrating the victory of their team, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), in the IPL 2024.

His longtime friend, co-actor, and co-owner of KKR, Juhi Chawla, gave an update on SRK’s health after meeting him at the hospital, saying King Khan was doing better now.

"Shah Rukh was not feeling too well last night [Tuesday night], but he is being attended to and was feeling much better this evening [Wednesday]. God willing, he will soon be up and in the stands on the weekend, cheering the team as we play the finals,” she said.

His wife, Gauri Khan, had also rushed to Ahmedabad to be with SRK.

Shah Rukh Khan has been traveling with his KKR team and is always seen cheering for them. In the last match, also after his team’s victory and entering the finals, SRK and his kids were seen taking a victory lap. He is a constant with the team and doesn’t forget to cheer them on.
